Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of industrial equipment, in particular to a cavitation-inhibited propeller wake constrictor, a power device, a ship device and a water pump. BACKGROUND
[0002] The power propeller such as marine propeller and water pump propeller generates a velocity difference between the blade and the water flow during rotation, forming a static pressure. This static pressure causes the water flow to generate high pressure on the side of the blade close to the propeller, and low pressure on the side of the blade away from the propeller. This pressure difference generates a thrust to the high pressure side, thereby pushing the ship to move or pushing the water flow.
[0003] When the propeller rotates at a speed exceeding a certain threshold value, the pressure of the liquid in contact with the propeller surface continues to decrease, and the gas dissolved in the liquid will precipitate and form bubbles. When the bubbles flow to an area with higher pressure, the bubbles will quickly contract and eventually collapse due to the external pressure. During the collapse process, the potential energy stored in the bubbles is rapidly released, forming a strong shock wave and high temperature. This impact will cause micro deformation and peeling of the solid surface material, gradually forming cavitation pits. SUMMARY

In some embodiments, the axial laminar flow generator 3 is axially arranged at the middle position of the cross-layer transfer chamber 2.
