Energy storage compressed gas driven underwater vehicle based on supercavitation drag reduction and driving method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of power and drag reduction of underwater vehicles, in particular to an energy storage compressed gas driven underwater vehicle based on supercavitation drag reduction and a driving method.
Background
With the progress of the related art, an underwater vehicle starts to perform more tasks such as marine environment investigation, seabed measurement, instant messaging, and the like.
The endurance time and the navigational speed are one of the key performance indexes of the planning and the task execution of the underwater vehicle, and the navigational speed of the underwater vehicle is mostly below 6kn, and a few of the navigational speeds can reach 6-12 kn at present. In order to meet the demands of future marine operation tasks and improve the task execution capacity and the underwater survival capacity of the underwater vehicle, the underwater vehicle is highly required to improve the comprehensive performance of high navigational speed, long navigational time and high maneuvering, in particular the high navigational speed of more than 20kn and the high maneuvering capacity exceeding 2m/s 2.
The power system is one of core factors influencing navigational speed, endurance time and maneuverability, and has higher requirements on the mass energy storage density or the volume energy storage density of the energy storage medium. The lithium battery is widely used as an energy storage medium of the light and heavy underwater vehicle due to the advantages of high energy storage density, wide working temperature range, long cycle life and the like. At present, research on the power performance of the lithium battery of the underwater vehicle is comprehensive, but the endurance time of the underwater vehicle during high-speed maneuver is obviously reduced, and the main reason is that the resistance is obviously increased at high navigational speed. Therefore, the underwater drag reduction technology is also one of key technologies for improving the navigational speed, the endurance time, the high-speed maneuverability and the like of the underwater vehicle.
The current research of underwater drag reduction technology mainly comprises micro-structure drag reduction, super-hydrophobic surface drag reduction, super-cavitation drag reduction and the like. The microstructure drag reduction technology has the defects of low manufacturing precision, poor dynamic adaptability, insufficient drag reduction performance research and the like; hydrostatic pressure, chemical substances and pollutants in water and the like can reduce the service life of an air layer of the super-hydrophobic surface, and the super-hydrophobic surface drag reduction is difficult to be suitable for marine environments. The supercavitation drag reduction technology reduces drag by generating stable gas phase around the aircraft, has lower requirements on the aircraft structure, and the drag reduction rate can reach more than 90%. Supercavitation drag reduction is divided into natural supercavitation drag reduction and artificial ventilation supercavitation drag reduction, wherein the former is required to have a sufficient navigational speed, is difficult to realize and has poor stability; the latter requires equipment gas source, which can be used for drag reduction of underwater vehicles. The use of artificial ventilation supercavitation for lithium battery-driven underwater vehicles is expected to reduce drag substantially, but artificial ventilation systems occupy a significant amount of space. It is necessary to explore other novel power systems to meet performance indexes such as high navigational speed, long navigational time, high maneuver and the like required by future underwater vehicles.
The system which takes compressed gas as an energy storage medium of the underwater vehicle and provides power for the vehicle through expansion work has the advantages of rapid inflation, high safety and the like, has good application prospect in equipment such as vehicles and the like,and the sea water static pressure is an excellent condition for realizing isobaric expansion, which is beneficial to reducingLoss. Therefore, the possibility of effectively applying the compressed gas power system to the underwater vehicle is provided, the air source can be shared with the artificial ventilation supercavitation system, and the space occupation rate of the artificial ventilation supercavitation system is effectively reduced through the effective coupling of the compressed gas power system and the artificial ventilation supercavitation system.
