Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for counteracting flow vortices generated in the hub region of propellers and / or propeller drives in the surrounding fluid. It is a rotationally symmetric transition part (Hub Vortex Vane) between a propeller and the adjacent fluid in the jet direction (incompressible medium) on the same axis of rotation as the propeller.
  • the device can be carried out co-rotating with the propeller or fixed. Fields of application are primarily possible in shipbuilding and aircraft construction.
  • Propellers of propellers and propellers form at the hub ends as well as at the outer edges of the propeller blades energetic edge vortex.
  • the inner edge vortexes of all the propeller blades unite to form a hub vortex in the surrounding fluid in the jet direction behind the propeller, whereby the geometric location of the hub vortex coincides well with the rotational axis of the propeller. It is irrelevant for the formation of the hub vortex whether there is still a flow body behind the actual propeller or not.
  • Highly loaded propellers with relatively large hub diameters usually form stronger hub vertebrae than weakly loaded propellers with relatively small hub diameters.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a solution for a significant reduction in energy losses through the formation of the hub vortex, for a noise reduction by fluctuating phenomena in the hub vortex in Propellerabstrom and in particular for the noise reduction caused by the hub vortex cavitation phenomena (hub cavitation).
  • this object is solved by the features of claim 1.
  • Advantageous embodiments of the invention are contained in the accompanying claims 2 and 3.
  • the invention is based on a device for counteracting flow vortices generated in the hub region of propellers and / or propeller drives in the surrounding fluid, which has at least one blade, the curvature of the blade being directed counter to the curvature of the propeller.
  • the blade extends from a cone-shaped transition part via a cylindrical hub part to the re-cone-shaped divergent closure part, wherein the outer termination of the blade is effected by a cylindrical shell of 10 to 50% of the length of the blade surface.
  • a plurality of blades are distributed in meridional arrangement regularly on the circumference of the device.
  • the blades start in their radial extent in the axis of rotation of the propeller and do not exceed a limit radius (R G ) within which the tangential component (V T ) of the velocity (V W ) of the turbulent flow is greater than that by the propeller rotation caused peripheral speed (V U ).
  • the invention is based on the finding that by appropriate design or shaping of the device, the formation of vortices by the propeller in the hub environment can be counteracted by the pressure conditions in this environment are selectively changed by the design of the device. Since the geometric location of the hub vortex (inner peripheral vortex), in contrast to the tip vortex (outer peripheral vortex) is well known (propeller rotational axis) and independent of the propeller speed and ship speed, secondary measures can only counteract the formation of the hub vortex.
  • the hub vortex vane contains at least one blade 12 which during operation ensures a reduction of the hub vortex strength and the associated hub vortex cavitation.
  • An HVV can be retrofitted at any time. No other components need to be replaced; all other components of the drive system can be retained unchanged.
  • a plurality of regularly distributed on the circumference of the HVV blades 12 are provided, which are arranged approximately in meridionaler orientation.
  • the number of vanes is independent of the number of vanes and the outer diameter of the HVV is limited to about 0.16 of the propeller diameter (with co-rotating HVV).
  • the inner boundary of the blades is formed by a rotary body of the shape according to the reference numerals 9, 10, 11 and the outer boundary by a ring of the shape 13.
  • the special inner and outer boundaries serve to largely suppress possible secondary cavitation phenomena at the inner and outer ends of the blade (s).
  • the HVV according to the invention is applicable both to helical propellers operating as pressure propellers and to traction propellers.
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 show different application possibilities of the HVV.
  • the screw propeller operating according to FIG. 2 as a pressure propeller 1 with propeller hub 2 has a co-rotating HVV 6 which lies behind the propeller 1 in the jet direction.
  • the vortex forming behind the propeller 1 along the HVV 6 initially consists of several vortices of the various wings, which then very quickly form into a single vortex, leaving its trace in a narrow area along the axis of rotation of the propeller. This behavior is shown in FIG. 1.
  • the direction of rotation of this vortex coincides with the direction of rotation of the propeller and the Tangential velocities of the vortex are greatest inside (in the vortex eye potential-theoretic infinitely large) and decrease to the outside.
  • V T tangential velocities (V T ) of the fluid to the vortex eye (in the hub vortex identical to the propeller axis of rotation) towards a purely potential theory law
  • toughness-related influences (Oseen vortex) approximately with a suitable value for the rotation age t
  • the inner and outer termination of the blade surfaces is particularly advantageous over known solutions in terms of avoiding hub vortex.
  • the inner connection of the blade surfaces takes place from a cone-shaped transition part 9 from the pressure-side propeller hub end 2 via the cylindrical hub part 10 of the HVV to the again cone-shaped divergent closure part 11 of the hub of the HVV.
  • the outer conclusion of the Vane surfaces of the HVV is effected by a cylindrical shell 13 of 10 to 50% of the length of the blade surfaces.
  • the hydrodynamic benefit of dividing the hub of the HVV into the three sections 9-11 is the concentration of the individual (hub side) edge vortex portions of the propeller blades into a concentrated hub vortex, the diversion of the tangential velocity components throughout the blade 12 and the "defibering" of one possible residual vortex portion in the region of the divergent conical closing part 11.
  • the diameter of the cylindrical intermediate piece 10 should coincide with the diameter of the viscosity-induced vortex core (vortex age).
  • the hydrodynamic benefit of the cylindrical surface 13 around the blades is to prevent possible parasitic cavitation phenomena at the outer end of the blades.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 Shown is the "downdraft" component 14 of the velocity distribution in the vicinity of the propeller blades 1 which is the main cause of the occurrence of the tangential speeds behind the propeller. Due to the generally existing increase in the pitch angle of the propeller blades to the axis of rotation and due to the eddy-induced increase in the tangential velocities, the curvatures of the blades 12 must change as a function of the radius, so that the flow lines are deflected as possible in the beam direction 15. In FIGS. 6 and 7, these ratios for different radii ratios are shown as cylinder developments for the radii ratios 0.10 and 0.15.
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 Possible applications and embodiments of the HVV are shown in FIGS. 2 to 4.
  • the co-rotating embodiment according to FIG. 2 is advantageous.
  • a fixed embodiment as outlined in Fig. 3 hydrodynamically advantageous.
  • a fixed embodiment at the end of the nacelle according to FIG. 4 advantageous.
  • HVV high thrust on a relatively small area and thus forced hub vortex. Due to the high loss, a high improvement can be achieved when using an inventively designed HVV.
  • HVV HVV
  • FIG. 8 For a pressure propeller arrangement according to FIG. 2, the achievable benefit by means of a HVV (“HVV”) is illustrated in FIG. 8 by means of measurements.
  • HVV HVV
  • Normal normal frequently used hub end
  • SA divergent hub processes
