AI Technical Summary
In the dynamic simulation of existing propeller-shaft-ship coupled systems, the strong coupling effect between the flow field and the structure is ignored and the constraints are simplified, resulting in large deviations between the simulation results and the actual working conditions. This makes it impossible to truly simulate torque transmission and explain complex vibration phenomena.
The time-domain data is converted to the frequency domain by FFT, and the shaft frequency, blade frequency and double blade frequency are analyzed. The strong coupling between the flow field and the structure is achieved by combining the CEL method. The MPC-beam is used to transfer the rotational degree of freedom and springs/dampers to simulate the actual structure. The modulation coupling of shaft frequency to blade frequency is analyzed in detail.
It improves simulation accuracy, realistically transmits motion, comprehensively analyzes frequency coupling, and provides precise analysis basis for vibration and acoustic signals, making it suitable for simulation adjustments of different ship and propeller types.

[0002] The following problems are commonly found in the dynamic simulation of existing propeller-shaft-ship coupled systems: (1) Ignoring the strong coupling effect between the flow field and the structure (such as the influence of flow field pressure on blade vibration) leads to a large deviation between the simulation results and the actual working conditions; (2) The rotational degree of freedom of the shaft system and the propeller is transmitted using simplified constraints (such as fixed constraints), which cannot truly simulate the torque transmission process; (3) Focusing only on the vibration characteristics of a single frequency (such as blade frequency) without analyzing the modulation coupling of shaft frequency to blade frequency makes it difficult to explain the complex vibration phenomena of the system and cannot provide accurate basis for vibration control and structural optimization of propeller-shaft-ship system.
