The invention discloses a wave-current combined
simulation system and method in a low-pressure environment, and relates to the technical field of
underwater vehicle hydrodynamic model tests. The defects that in the prior art, sealing and strength are difficult to guarantee in a low-air-pressure environment, and accurate flow velocity and shear gradient control of a multi-layer flow channel cannot be achieved are overcome. According to the technical scheme, the device comprises a low-pressure
pool, a plurality of
layers of layered water inlet galleries, a plurality of
layers of layered water outlet galleries, a rectifying wall, a rectifying baffle, a flow guide grid, a wave absorbing
bank, an in-cabin rocking plate type wave maker, a plurality of bottom flow making pump flow making systems, an electric
butterfly valve, a high-
voltage frequency conversion cabinet, a three-phase asynchronous motor, a gear box, an
impeller shaft
system and the like. All the devices work cooperatively, and accurate
coupling simulation of a multi-layer flow field and high sea condition
waves under low air pressure is achieved. The device is suitable for wave-current combined hydrodynamic characteristic
simulation and test research of deep-sea navigation bodies and ocean
engineering equipment in a low-pressure environment.
