[0001] This invention relates to the field of ship propulsion noise analysis and prediction, and more specifically, to a method for analyzing and predicting high-frequency noise in podded propulsion systems. Background Technology
[0002] In marine propulsion systems, podded propulsion systems are widely used in various types of ships due to their unique structural advantages, such as good maneuverability and high propulsion efficiency. However, podded propulsion systems generate complex flow fields during operation, and the vortex structure motion within these flow fields is a significant source of high-frequency noise. High-frequency noise not only causes hearing damage to crew members, affecting their working and living environment, but also interferes with the normal operation of electronic equipment on board, reducing the ship's stealth and combat capabilities, and also has a certain negative impact on the marine ecological environment.
[0003] Currently, existing methods for analyzing noise from podded propulsion systems have several limitations. On the one hand, some methods focus only on simple noise monitoring and statistics, lacking in-depth analysis of the vortex structure of the noise-generating flow field. This makes it difficult to accurately capture the location and dynamic characteristics of high-frequency noise sources, resulting in inaccurate noise predictions. On the other hand, while some methods consider the correlation between the flow field and noise, the analytical models used are not precise enough to accurately simulate complex separated flow fields. This leads to inaccurate quantification of the correlation between vortex structures and high-frequency noise, thus affecting the effectiveness of noise control optimization schemes. Furthermore, existing methods also lack real-time performance, failing to meet the real-time prediction and control requirements of high-frequency noise during actual ship operation. Therefore, developing a method capable of accurately analyzing and predicting high-frequency noise from podded propulsion systems and providing effective control optimization schemes is of significant practical importance. Summary of the Invention

This method addresses the shortcomings of existing methods, which often focus solely on simple noise monitoring and statistics, lacking in-depth analysis of the vortex structure of the noise-generating flow field. This makes it difficult to accurately capture the location and dynamic characteristics of high-frequency noise sources, resulting in inaccurate noise prediction results. Furthermore, the analytical models used are not precise enough to accurately simulate complex separated flow fields, leading to inaccurate quantification of the correlation between vortex structures and high-frequency noise. Consequently, the effectiveness of noise control optimization schemes is affected, and the methods fail to meet usage requirements.

It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0050] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4. This invention provides a technical solution: a method for analyzing and predicting high-frequency noise in a podded propulsion system, the method comprising:
[0051] S1. Obtain raw flow field data and corresponding high-frequency noise monitoring data under the working state of the podded thruster, and perform preprocessing;
[0052] Among them, the podded propulsion system is a propulsion device that places the propulsion motor outside the hull and directly drives the propeller. It has advantages such as high propulsion efficiency and good maneuverability and is widely used in the marine industry. The raw flow field data consists of various physical quantities describing the fluid motion state under the working conditions of the podded propulsion system, such as velocity, pressure, and temperature. These data reflect the distribution and changes of the fluid around the propulsion system. The high-frequency noise monitoring data is high-frequency noise signal data collected by specialized noise monitoring equipment during the operation of the podded propulsion system. It is used to analyze the high-frequency noise characteristics generated by the propulsion system. Preprocessing involves a series of processing operations on the acquired raw flow field data and high-frequency noise monitoring data, including data cleaning, data normalization, and data filtering, to improve the quality and usability of the data and prepare it for subsequent analysis.
[0053] S2. Based on the SST k-Omega separated vortex model, a flow field-noise coupling analysis framework is constructed, and the time step and calculation frequency are set to match the actual working conditions.
[0054] Among them, the SST k-Omega separated vortex model is a turbulent model used to simulate fluid flow, where SST represents shear stress transport, k is turbulent kinetic energy, and Omega is turbulent specific dissipation rate; the flow field-noise coupling analysis framework is a comprehensive analysis system that combines flow field simulation and noise analysis. Through this framework, the influence of the physical characteristics of the flow field on noise generation and propagation, as well as the feedback effect of noise on the flow field, can be considered simultaneously, thereby more accurately predicting and analyzing the high-frequency noise generated by the podded propulsion system; the time step is the time interval used to discretize continuous time in numerical simulation. An appropriate time step is crucial to ensuring the stability and accuracy of numerical simulation and needs to be set according to actual working conditions and simulation requirements to accurately capture the changes in flow field and noise over time; the calculation frequency is the frequency of calculation and updating during numerical simulation, which determines the temporal resolution of the simulation results. The higher the calculation frequency, the more details of the dynamic changes in flow field and noise can be captured, but it will also increase the computational load and computation time;
[0055] S3. The preprocessed flow field data is solved dynamically in real time through the analysis framework to capture the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of the vortex structure and locate the dynamic distribution of high-frequency noise sources.
[0056] Among these features, real-time dynamic solution utilizes a pre-constructed flow field-noise coupled analysis framework to continuously calculate and solve pre-processed flow field data over time. By constantly updating the flow field state, it simulates the dynamic changes of the flow field during the operation of the podded thruster. Vortex structures are rotating flow regions formed by fluid movement and are an important feature of the flow field. Around the podded thruster, due to the viscosity and complex geometry of the fluid, vortex structures of various sizes and shapes are generated. The generation, development, and dissipation of these vortex structures have a significant impact on noise generation. Spatiotemporal evolution characteristics refer to the changes in vortex structures in time and space, including the vortex generation location, trajectory, size changes, and intensity changes. By capturing these characteristics, we can gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between vortex structures and high-frequency noise. The dynamic distribution location of high-frequency noise sources changes with time and flow field variations during the operation of the podded thruster. By solving the analysis framework, the location of these noise sources can be located in real time, providing a basis for noise control.
[0057] S4. Quantify the correlation between vortex structure changes and high-frequency noise intensity to generate a dynamic influence spectrum of noise sources;
[0058] Among them, the quantitative correlation is determined by mathematical methods and statistical analysis to determine the quantitative relationship between vortex structure changes and high-frequency noise intensity; the noise source dynamic influence map is a graphical representation of the impact of vortex structure changes on high-frequency noise intensity, as well as the dynamic distribution of noise sources at different times and spatial locations. This map can intuitively reflect the noise generation mechanism and propagation path, providing an intuitive reference for the formulation of noise control strategies.
[0059] S5. Based on the dynamic influence map, optimize vortex reduction by adjusting the flow field structure parameters, suppress non-physical field noise, and output the real-time prediction results of high-frequency noise and the noise control optimization scheme.
[0060] Among them, flow field structure parameters are various parameters that affect the characteristics of the flow field, such as the geometry of the podded propeller, the shape and angle of the propeller blades, and the installation position of the propeller. Changes in these parameters directly affect the distribution of the flow field and the formation of vortex structures, thus affecting the generation of high-frequency noise. Vortex reduction is achieved by adjusting the flow field structure parameters to change the flow characteristics of the flow field, reducing or suppressing the generation and development of vortex structures, thereby reducing noise caused by vortices. Non-physical field noise is noise that may be generated in numerical simulations due to imperfections in the model and unreasonable boundary conditions. By optimizing the flow field structure parameters, these non-physical field noises can be suppressed, improving the accuracy of noise prediction. The real-time prediction result of high-frequency noise is based on the dynamic influence spectrum and the optimized flow field structure to predict the intensity of high-frequency noise generated by the podded propeller at different times during operation, obtaining real-time noise prediction data. The noise control optimization scheme is based on the noise prediction results and the analysis of the vortex structure, proposing control measures and improvement suggestions for the high-frequency noise of the podded propeller, such as optimizing the design parameters of the propeller and using noise reduction materials, to reduce the noise level generated by the propeller.
[0061] It should be noted that acquiring and preprocessing raw data during use ensures data quality and lays the foundation for subsequent analysis. The coupled framework built upon the SST k-Omega separated vortex model can accurately simulate complex flow fields. Matching the time step and calculation frequency to actual working conditions improves the accuracy and practicality of the simulation. Real-time dynamic solving captures the spatiotemporal changes of vortex structures, accurately locates the dynamic distribution of noise sources, and provides a deeper understanding of noise generation mechanisms. Quantifying correlations and generating dynamic influence maps visually presents the laws of noise generation and propagation. Finally, adjusting parameters based on the maps optimizes vortex reduction, effectively suppressing non-physical field noise. It not only outputs real-time prediction results, providing a basis for noise monitoring, but also offers optimization schemes to reduce propeller noise and improve its operational performance and comfort. The overall design is scientific, reasonable, comprehensive, and effective.
