Abstract | ||
Pump jet is a type of marine propulsion system that establishes the necessary trust based on the momentum difference method and based on axial flow pumps. The pump jet system is composed of rotors, stators, ducts and hubs. In the last two decades, pump jet propulsion system due to higher efficiency and performance, as well as lower noise level, has been more important for marine industry, especially in the subsurface area. In this paper, the effect of stator hydrofoil chords length on the hydrodynamic performance of the stator-rotor pump jet has been investigated. The stator has an integral role in this type of pump jet and has a significant role on the hydrodynamic performance of the propulsion complex. Therefore, 5 geometries with the length of the stator cords L (DR 0.14, 0.15DR, 0.16DR, 0.17DR and 0.18DR) (rotor diameter: DR) were produced by direct design method to investigate computational fluid dynamics and numerical simulation using commercial software. Among the investigated cases, the maximum open water efficiency (64.51) was related to L=0.18 DR and the minimum open water efficiency was related to L=0.15 DR (63.53). By examining the other results of the simulations, it seems that L=0.18DR is superior to other scenarios due to having maximum open water efficiency (about 1% higher than the lowest value) and the larger coverage area of the leading coefficients with higher efficiency, uniformity and monotrend of the production trust coefficient and conventional torque coefficient graph. | ||
