摘要: 为探究环形桨的水动力性能优势及桨叶表面压力分布特性,该文首先研究了环形桨构型参数,对整桨进行参数化处理,构建了第一代环形桨模型;然后基于Star CCM+软件对该桨进行了敞水性能和压力分布计算,通过调整螺距获得第二代环形桨并优化其表面压力分布。研究表明:环形桨的构型设计需要引入新的参数;其敞水性能与常规桨趋势相近,但最大效率偏低;环形桨翼型选择、参数定义等的不尽合理,会导致前桨叶正负压区均存在压力损失,从而在一定程度上恶化表面压力分布;调整环形桨前后桨叶的螺距分布,可以明显优化桨叶表面压力分布。

Abstract: To investigate the advantages of the toroidal propeller in hydrodynamic performance and the characteristics of its blade surface pressure distribution, this study first examined the configuration parameters of the toroidal propeller. A parametric modeling approach was applied to the entire propeller, leading to the development of a first-generation toroidal propeller model. Subsequently, based on the STAR-CCM+ software, the open-water performance and pressure distribution of the propeller were computed using the Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) turbulence model. A second-generation toroidal propeller was then developed by adjusting the pitch distribution, which optimized the surface pressure distribution. The research indicates that the configuration design of the toroidal propeller requires the introduction of new parameters. The open-water performance of the toroidal propeller follows a trend similar to that of conventional propellers, but its maximum efficiency is not ideal. The total thrust of the toroidal propeller is considerable; however, the selection of the airfoil and parameters may be unreasonable, leading to pressure loss in both the pressure and suction sides of the front blade and consequently degrading the surface pressure distribution to some extent. Adjusting the pitch distributions of the front and rear blades of the toroidal propeller can significantly optimize the pressure distribution on the blade surface.

Key words: toroidal propeller, parametric configuration, open-water performance, pressure distribution, numerical analysis
