For ununiform inflow to impeller due to hull and duct
the dynamic characteristics of waterjet pump(mixed-flow pump)in patrol craft are numerically analyzed. The steady flow is simulated by SST turbulence model based on RANS and the calculated speed of ship from CFD exceeds the trial voyage by 1.8%. The unsteady flow of bare pump and the same pump fixed on craft is simulated by CFD method for DES turbulence. The pressure fluctuation of impeller inlet
impeller blade channels
impeller outlet
guide vane channels
nozzle and tip of impeller is supervised and discussed
and the difference caused by the ununiformity is also analyzed. The results show that on the impeller outlet
guide vane channels and the nozzle of both bare pump and fixed pump
the farther the flow to the impeller the weaker the pressure pulsation effects. The pressure fluctuation frequency is mainly dominated by the impeller rotation frequency
and the pressure fluctuation amplitude gradually increases from hub to tip
however
the corresponding amplitude is lager in pump fixed on craft. In the revolver impeller
the pressure fluctuation frequency is mainly dominated by the guide vanes reaction in bare pump while by shaft frequency in pump fixed on craft. The pressure fluctuation amplitude in the tip gradually increases along the axis from the leading edge to the trailing edge. In the duct outlet
the pressure fluctuation frequency is mainly dominated by the impeller rotation frequency in bare pump while by shaft frequency in pump fixed on craft.
