Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of propeller surface cavitation area evaluation, and in particular relates to a propeller surface cavitation area evaluation method and system under oblique flow conditions. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, as ships have become larger and faster, people have been increasingly demanding ship speeds and main engine performance, but the propeller size cannot be increased at will due to various factors, resulting in a significant increase in propeller load. In this case, propeller cavitation is often inevitable. When propeller cavitation occurs, many adverse effects will occur, such as a decrease in the propeller's hydrodynamic performance, erosion damage to the blade surface, and often causing strong vibration of the stern hull.

[0003] Common propeller cavitation includes surface cavitation, tip vortex cavitation and hub vortex cavitation. Due to the complexity of propeller cavitation problems, the research on propeller cavitation performance still mainly relies on model test methods. It is necessary to process propeller blade models and conduct model tests in cavitation water tunnel laboratories. The test results are obtained by photographing the cavitation morphology of the propeller blades with a high-speed camera, and then measuring the cavitation area on the propeller surface by hand. The model test method not only has a long test cycle, but also has a very high test cost, and cannot obtain flow details.

[0004] In recent years, with the rapid development of computer performance and CFD technology, numerical simulation methods are becoming an important means to study propeller cavitation problems. Compared with model tests, numerical simulation methods have many advantages, such as short cycle, low cost, and the ability to obtain richer flow field details. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention solves the problems of long cycle, high cost and inability to obtain flow details in the current propeller surface cavitation area evaluation under oblique flow conditions, and provides a propeller surface cavitation area evaluation method and system under oblique flow conditions, which adopts a specific calculation method to evaluate the propeller surface cavitation area, and can quickly and accurately predict the propeller surface cavitation area under oblique flow conditions.

[0006] The technical solution claimed in the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A method for evaluating the cavitation area of ​​a propeller surface under oblique flow conditions comprises the following steps:

[0008] S1: Obtain the key parameters of the propeller under oblique flow conditions, and establish a complete numerical model of the propeller based on the key parameters. Assemble the established numerical model into a closed geometric body, and then divide the geometric body into two regions, namely the rotating domain where the propeller is located and the external static domain;

[0030] The propeller surface cavitation area evaluation module uses the SST K-Omega model obtained by the model building module for calculation. After the propeller cavitation performance calculation under the oblique flow condition converges, the surface cavitation information of each propeller blade surface at different time phases is extracted, and the propeller blade cavitation area is calculated, and the propeller surface cavitation area ratio under the oblique flow condition is calculated.

[0047] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0048] First Group of Examples: Method for Estimating Cavitation Area on Propeller Surface under Oblique Flow Conditions

[0049] This group of embodiments provides a method for evaluating the cavitation area on the propeller surface under oblique flow conditions, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0050] S1: Obtain the key parameters of the propeller under oblique flow conditions, and establish a complete numerical model of the propeller based on the key parameters, assemble the established numerical model into a closed geometric body, and then divide the geometric body into two regions, namely the rotating domain where the propeller is located and the external static domain; the key parameters include: diameter, chord length, disk ratio, and pitch ratio.

[0051] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, in order to simulate the cavitation performance of the propeller under oblique flow conditions and evaluate the cavitation area on the propeller surface, it is necessary to construct a calculation domain. According to conventional processing methods, the calculation domain is divided into a rotating domain where the propeller is located and an external stationary large domain.

[0052] The complete propeller geometry under oblique flow conditions is almost the same as the model test conditions of the working section in the cavitation water tunnel, and the external boundary and size of the calculation domain are consistent with the actual working conditions of the working section of the cavitation water tunnel.

[0053] S2: Mesh the two regions (rotating domain and external stationary domain) of the geometric body obtained in S1 respectively, and divide them in order from large to small grids, encrypt the divided grids, generate multiple sets of grids, and verify the grid independence of each set of generated grids; specifically: divide the propeller blade surface, hub surface, key area surface in the stationary domain, and external boundaries of the rotating domain and the external stationary domain into surface grids of the same grid scale in the order from large to small grids, and encrypt the surface grids of the same scale to generate multiple sets of grids, and then verify the grid independence of each set of generated grids, and retain each set of grids whose number of grids is within the preset number threshold range; the key areas in the stationary domain include the inclined propeller shaft and the wall of the working section of the cavitation water tunnel.

[0054] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, in the rotating domain, since the propeller is in an oblique flow condition, there is a certain angle between the propeller flow direction and the propeller disk surface. Therefore, the grid division of this area needs to pay attention to the grid direction in the rotating domain, so as to more accurately capture the flow characteristics near the propeller. In order to more accurately simulate the flow field characteristics near the propeller, the surface of the propeller blade is divided into boundary layer grids, and the surface grids are encrypted to generate multiple sets of grids; in order to ensure the reliability and stability of the numerical calculation method, a grid independence verification study is carried out, and the number of grids of each set of grids is compared with the preset number threshold range. If the number of grids of a set of grids is within the preset number threshold range, then The set of grids is retained; for example, a grid independence verification study is conducted on 5 sets of grids. The number of grids in Case 1-Case 5 varies from 2 million to 12 million. The 5 sets of grids use the same layout, and only the grid scale changes. Through analysis and comparison, it can be seen that if the number of grids in a set of grids is around 6.5 million, the propeller thrust and torque show convergence characteristics, then the set of grids is retained as the numerical calculation strategy for the cavitation area of ​​the propeller oblique flow condition surface; if it is within 4.5 million, it will be discarded because the calculation result is greatly affected by the number of grids; if the number of grids is greater than 7.8 million, the calculation task cannot be completed due to limited calculation time and resources. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, a set of numerical calculation methods with a moderate number of grids, high numerical calculation accuracy and stability is finally selected, that is, about 6.5 million grids (case 3). The number of grids for grid independence verification is shown in Table 1.

[0057] S3: setting boundary conditions for the geometry obtained by S2, specifically: the inlet of the computational domain is a velocity inlet, the outlet is a pressure outlet, and the data transmission between the internal rotating domain and the external large domain adopts an interface;

[0058] S4: The RANS method is used in combination with the turbulence model method to numerically simulate the geometric cavitation area obtained in S3 under oblique flow conditions. Since the SSTk-ω turbulence model combines the advantages of the k-ω model in near-wall calculations and the k-ε model in far-field calculations, and considers the lateral dissipation derivative term, the transport process of turbulent shear stress is considered in the definition of the model's turbulent viscosity, and has a wider range of applicability, the SST K-Omega model is finally established;

[0059] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, in order to more quickly and accurately predict the propeller cavitation performance under oblique flow conditions, and then accurately evaluate the propeller blade cavitation area, the subsequent calculation strategy is comprehensively explored and studied. After comprehensively considering the computing resources and computing cycle, and comparing the large eddy simulation and the RANS method, for the numerical simulation of the complex system of the cavitation water tunnel, although the large eddy simulation is more refined, the calculation cost is much higher than the RANS method, and the calculation result is not necessarily more accurate than the RANS method. Therefore, the RANS method is combined with the turbulence model method to perform numerical simulation of the propeller blade cavitation area under oblique flow conditions, and finally the SST K-Omega model of the turbulence model selection two equations is established; the two equations of the SST K-Omega model are the continuity equation and the momentum equation, which are as follows:

[0060]

[0061] ρ=ρ l α l +ρ v (1-α l )=ρ l α l +ρ v α v

[0062] μ=μ l α l +μ v α v

[0063] Where: i, j = 1, 2, 3; subscripts l and v refer to the liquid phase and gas phase respectively; ρ is the fluid density of the mixed flow; ρ l ,ρ v represent the liquid density and gas density respectively; μ is the dynamic viscosity coefficient of the mixed flow; μ l ,μ v Respectively represent the dynamic viscosity coefficient of liquid and gas; i ,u j is the velocity component; x i ,x j is the spatial coordinate point; τ ij is the Reynolds stress, f i is the volume force per unit mass; α l ,α v Represent the volume fractions of liquid and others respectively; t represents the time term.

[0064] S5: The SST K-Omega model is used for calculation. After the calculation of propeller cavitation performance under oblique flow conditions converges, the cavitation information of each propeller blade surface at different time phases is extracted, and the propeller blade cavitation area is calculated, and the proportion of propeller surface cavitation area under oblique flow conditions is calculated;

[0065] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the calculation formula of the propeller blade cavitation area is:

[0066]

[0067] The propeller surface cavitation area ratio formula is:

[0068] A C / A E

[0069] Where: S i is the area of ​​the grid unit where cavitation occurs; A C is the cavitation coverage area of ​​a single propeller blade; A E is the entire back area of ​​a single propeller blade; n represents the number of surface units where cavitation occurs.

[0073] The mesh division module meshes the two regions of the geometric body obtained by the key parameter acquisition module respectively, and divides them in sequence from large to small grids, and encrypts the divided grids to generate multiple sets of grids, and verifies the mesh independence of each generated set of grids; specifically: in order from large to small grids, the propeller blade surface, the hub surface, the key area surface in the stationary domain, and the outer boundary of the rotating domain and the external stationary domain are respectively divided into surface grids of the same grid scale size, and the surface grids of the same scale size are meshed and encrypted to generate multiple sets of grids, and then the grid independence of each generated set of grids is verified, and each set of grids whose number of grids is within a preset number threshold range is retained; the key areas in the stationary domain include the inclined propeller shaft and the cylinder wall of the working section of the cavitation water tunnel.
