Detailed Description
The invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
As shown in fig. 1, for an a-type underwater vehicle, since the intersection of the tip end face of the rotor of the pump jet propeller, the pressure face and the suction face of the rotor has a sharp corner, which causes shape distortion, the rotor will form a sharp flow discontinuity near the intersection line during rotation, which causes strong fluid separation, separation vortex, and a sharp pressure drop in the region near the tip end face, and the drop increases with the increase of the rotor speed, which leads to cavitation-tip clearance cavitation at the tip end face of the blade. Meanwhile, the pressure value of the rotor blade surface is large, the pressure value of the rotor blade back is low, pressure difference exists between the rotor blade surface and the rotor blade back, and near the end face of the tip of the rotor, because the distance between the pressure surface and the suction surface is small, a large pressure gradient can be formed between the tip blade surface and the blade back at the corresponding position, fluid can overturn to the end face of the tip of the blade from the pressure surface and then overturn to the suction surface from the end face of the tip of the blade, and fluid overturn near the tip of the rotor can intensify fluid separation near the end face of the tip. In addition, the linear velocity of the rotor blade tip is relatively high, the inner wall of the conduit is stationary, the clearance between the inner wall of the conduit and the rotor tip end surface is relatively small, the linear velocity is very different, the circumferential velocity of the fluid in contact with the rotor tip end surface in the clearance between the rotor tip end surface and the inner wall of the conduit is equal to the linear velocity of the rotor according to the nature of the viscous fluid, the velocity of the fluid in contact with the inner wall of the conduit is zero, and the clearance is usually very small, so the gradient of the circumferential velocity of the flow in the clearance between the rotor tip end surface and the inner wall of the conduit in the radial direction is very large, a strong "swept vortex" is formed at the rotor end surface, and the flow distribution characteristic aggravates the flow separation tendency near the rotor tip, and the pressure drop in the area near the rotor tip is increased. The fluid is overturned from the tip pressure surface to the tip end surface and then overturned from the tip end surface to the suction surface, the fluid overturning can also enable the fluid to form concentrated leakage vortexes in the wake flow of the rotor tip, and the tip vortex cavitation is easily formed because the pressure is very low at the vortex core of the tip leakage vortexes.
The above factors interfere with each other and influence each other, and finally the pump jet propeller is easy to generate cavitation near the tip of the rotor in the working process, so that the noise is obviously increased, and the sailing speed and the stealth capability of the ship or the underwater vehicle are greatly limited.
Through simulation, under the working condition that the underwater vehicle has the navigation speed of 18kn and the rotor rotating speed of 600rpm, the lowest pressure amplitude of the tip end face of the rotor, the average value of the lowest pressure of the tip end face of the rotor, the vortex core pressure amplitude of the 0.03R wake vortex and the average value of the vortex core pressure of the 0.03R wake vortex are shown in the table 1 during straight line navigation.

Through simulation, under the working conditions that the navigation speed is 18kn and the rotor rotation speed is 600rpm, the lowest pressure amplitude of the tip end face of the rotor, the lowest pressure average value of the tip end face of the rotor, the vortex core pressure amplitude of the 0.03R wake vortex surface and the vortex core pressure average value of the 0.03R wake vortex surface are shown in the table 2 when the pump jet propeller based on the invention is provided with a certain number of rectangular grooves on the inner wall of the guide pipe.
