潜艇高压气吹除主压载水舱过程的数值模拟

采用结构化六面体网格对主压载水舱内部流场进行离散化,基于FLUENT流体计算软件,应用VOF两相流模型,对10 m及20 m水深时高压气吹除主压载水舱过程进行了数值模拟,研究了气液两相界面的形成及生长过程,深入分析了水舱排水速率的变化规律,并针对压载水的残留现象提出了实际操艇过程中需要注意的问题。仿真结果与现有文献中实体模型的实验结果吻合较好,均揭示了吹除过程中水舱内部压力及排水速率的波动现象,验证了数值模拟方法的准确性和有效性。为与实际情况相符,还提出了针对入口及出口边界条件的改进方案。

Numerical simulation on compressed gas blowing ballast tank of submarine

The inner fluid domain of the ballast tank for computing was dispersed and meshed by applying the structured hexahedral grid, and by using the VOF two-phase flow model, the process of high compressed gas blowing ballast tank while at 10 m and 20 m depth under water was numerically simulated based on computational fluid dynamics package FLUENT. The research studied the forming and developing process of the gas-water two-phase interface was studied, the draining rule of the ballast tank was analysed, and the attention issues in the process of practically steering submarine aiming at the remanet ballast water were indicated. The simulation results match the model experiment results of the existing literatures very well, and for both the results indicating the undulation phenomenon of the interior pressure of the tank and the draining velocity in the process of blowing, the veracity and validity of the numerical simulation is validat-ed. For matching the actual situation, the amelioration schemes of the inlet and outlet boundary conditions were given.
