Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of underwater bionic technology, and relates to a test measurement method for optimizing the propulsion effect of a bionic tail fin, which is applicable to guiding the test measurement of the optimization effect of the swing propulsion of an underwater bionic tail fin. Background Art

[0002] Underwater bionic propulsion technology is a new propulsion mode that subverts traditional propeller propulsion. It imitates the movement of fish tail fins or pectoral fins, changes the flow field state to generate an orderly arranged anti-Kármán vortex street, and then generates a forward propulsion force. The propulsion efficiency can reach more than 90% at most. However, the underwater bionic propulsion efficiency is difficult to evaluate because the thrust and resistance in the propulsion process cannot be decoupled, and the propulsion efficiency evaluation model has not been unified yet. Relevant scholars at home and abroad have tried to use numerical simulation methods to study bionic propulsion efficiency. In the numerical calculation process, the forces acting on the fish body are decomposed, that is: the force along the head direction of the fish body is regarded as the thrust, and the force along the tail direction of the fish body is regarded as the resistance, and then the resistance and propulsion are decoupled. This method makes assumptions about the thrust and resistance and does not accurately obtain the actual thrust magnitude. In the experimental test of bionic propulsion efficiency, the drag resistance when not swinging is often regarded as the tail fin thrust when swimming at the same speed, which ignores the influence of the tail fin swing on the fish body resistance, resulting in controversial tail fin propulsion efficiency and no reliable test method for optimizing the tail fin propulsion effect.

[0042] Regarding the difficulties in decoupling thrust and drag in caudal fin propulsion and the controversy in the definition of propulsion efficiency, which lead to the problem of measuring the propulsion optimization effect, such as Figure 1 shown, an experimental measurement method for the optimization effect of caudal fin propulsion according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0043] Step 1. Experimental model design, including

[0044] 1.1 Design a scaled-down model for caudal fin propulsion experiments. The model is sequentially divided into three parts from the head to the tail direction: the fish body, the caudal peduncle, and the caudal fin. The movements of the caudal peduncle and the caudal fin are designed according to the prototype drive mode.

[0045] 1.2 Install a force-measuring balance at the geometric center of the model, install a caudal peduncle torque measurement sensor between the caudal peduncle and the caudal peduncle drive motor, and install a caudal fin torque measurement sensor between the caudal fin and the caudal fin drive motor.

[0046] Step 2. Determine the caudal peduncle motion equation and the caudal fin motion equation according to the motion coordination relationship between the prototype caudal peduncle and the caudal fin, and use them as the motion inputs for the caudal peduncle and caudal fin drive motors.

During measurement, take the bionic tail fin propulsion model as the test object and the towing tank as the test platform, and use the model swing + towing method to simulate the propulsion state of the bionic tail fin model. Install the bionic tail fin propulsion test model on the support frame of the pool trailer. The trailer drives the test model to move forward at a constant speed v. The model swings according to the given motion law under the drive of the internal servo system. Among them, install a three-component force sensor between the model and the support rod to test and record the axial force data received by the entire model at any state in real time. Measure the drag force Fx of the model, change the swing frequency f, and obtain the driving torque M of the tail stock when the tail stock and the tail fin of the bionic tail fin propulsion model swing jointly when the average value of the drag force is zero. wb , the driving torque M of the tail fin wq .

The optimization effect of the tail fin-like propulsion is obtained through post-processing of the test data. That is, the present invention provides a test method for measuring the optimization effect of the propulsion in the mode of simulating the tail fin swing in a towing tank environment. The present invention avoids the difficulties of decoupling the propulsion resistance and the definition problem of the propulsion efficiency of the tail fin-like propulsion, solves the problem of measuring the optimization effect of the tail fin-like propulsion, and provides guidance for the test measurement of the optimization effect of the tail fin-like propulsion.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the set speed is determined according to the prototype swimming speed and the scale ratio of the scaled model of the tail fin-like propulsion test.

[0058] For example, the set speed can be obtained by multiplying the prototype swimming speed by the scale ratio.

[0059] In the above embodiment, step six specifically includes:

[0060] According to the data of the caudal peduncle and tail fin swing frequencies and the corresponding moment measurement sensors of the caudal peduncle and tail fin when the average towing force obtained in step four is zero, the input power P of the propulsion system before optimization is obtained in0 ;

[0061] According to the data of the caudal peduncle and tail fin swing frequencies and the corresponding moment measurement sensors of the caudal peduncle and tail fin when the average towing force obtained in step five is zero, the input power P of the propulsion system after optimization is obtained in1 ;

[0062] According to the input power P of the propulsion system before optimization in0 and the input power P of the propulsion system after optimization in1 The optimized efficiency of the tail fin-like propulsion efficiency is calculated.

[0063] Among them, the optimized efficiency of the tail fin-like propulsion efficiency is calculated by the following formula:

[0064]

[0065] Among them, δ is the optimized efficiency of the tail fin-like propulsion efficiency.

[0066] In the above embodiment, the calculation methods of the input power of the propulsion system before optimization and the input power of the propulsion system after optimization are the same, and the calculation method includes:

[0067] Based on the caudal peduncle swing frequency, the rotational angular velocity of the caudal peduncle around the rotation center of the caudal peduncle is obtained, and the caudal peduncle driving power is calculated based on this rotational angular velocity and the caudal peduncle driving torque;

[0068] Based on the tail fin swing frequency, the rotational angular velocity of the tail fin around the rotation center of the tail fin is obtained, and the tail fin driving power is calculated based on this rotational angular velocity and the tail fin driving torque;

[0069] The propulsive system input power is obtained by adding the caudal peduncle drive power and the caudal fin drive power: P in = P wb_in + P wq_in .

[0070] Among them, the caudal peduncle drive power is calculated based on the rotational angular velocity and the caudal peduncle driving torque by the following formula:

[0078]

[0079] In the formula, P out is the effective power generated by the caudal fin propulsion to overcome the model resistance.

[0080] Since the same model swims at the same speed, the effective work done to overcome the resistance is equal. Therefore, the input power can be compared without measuring the resistance, avoiding the controversy over the definition of the bionic propulsion resistance, and obtaining the optimization effect of the propulsion efficiency. The calculation formula is as follows:

Among them, due to the same swimming speed, the effective power of the tail fin propulsion before and after optimization is equal, that is, P out0 = P out1 .

[0084] This embodiment provides a test measurement method for the optimization effect of fin - like tail propulsion. The method specifically includes:

[0085] Step 1: According to the similarity accuracy of model geometric similarity and motion similarity, design a fin - like tail propulsion test model with a 1:1 scale ratio.

Record the data of the measuring balance, the measuring sensors under the swinging states of the caudal peduncle and the tail fin, and the trailer speed. If the average towing force is positive, then reduce the swinging frequency of the two; otherwise, increase the swinging frequency of the two; until the average towing force is zero, record the swinging frequency and the data of the caudal peduncle and tail fin torque measurement sensors;

[0089] Step 5: Replace the optimized tail fin and repeat Step 4;
