The impeller structure and reasonable rotating speed are important factors that determine flow field distribution and energy conversion efficiency. So it is necessary to use modern design methods to develop new kinds of high efficiency submerged propellers,and research the flow field characteristics of submerged propellers. On the basis of the existing form drawing,three-dimensional model of submerged propellers and unstructured tetrahedral mesh were generated. Based on Navier- Stokes equations and standard k- ε turbulence model,the flow was simulated by using a simple algorithm. Through changing some design parameters of propellers,the corresponding numerical simulation results reveal that for the same impeller diameter and service area of submerged propellers,the power consumption could be reduced effectively by optimizing blade mounting angle,which can determine the best blade mounting angle and most suitable rotational speed under given conditions. The study can provide theoretical and project guidance for submerged propellers design.展开更多

In order to study the interactional principle between the hull and the wheel propellers while the AUV navigating in water, the computational fluid dynamics （CFD） method is used to simulate numerically the unsteady viscous flow around AUV with propellers by using the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes （RANS） equations, shear-stress transport （SST） k-w model and pressure with splitting of operators （PISO） algorithm based on sliding mesh. The hydrodynamic parameters of AUV with propellers such as resistance, pressure and velocity are got, which reflect well the real ambient flow field of AUV with propellers. Then, the semi-implicit method for pressure-linked equations （SIMPLE） algorithm is used to compute the steady viscous flow field of AUV hull and propellers, respectively. The computational results agree well with the experimental data, which shows that the numerical method has good accuracy in the prediction of hydrodynamic performance. The interaction between AUV hull and wheel propellers is predicted qualitatively and quantitatively by comparing the hydrodynamic parameters such as resistance, pressure and velocity with those from integral computation and partial computation of the viscous flow around AUV with propellers, which provides an effective reference to the shady on noise and vibration of AUV hull and propellers in real environment. It also provides technical support for the design of new AUVs.展开更多

Propellant harvested from 1953 U S. military 30-06 M2 AP rifle cartridges and from 2012 U S. military M855A1 rifle cartridgs was evaluated using thermochemical techniques and field testing. Thermochemical results were also compared with two 2022-era ball propellants(Winchester 748 and Hodgdon BL-C(2)). Thermal analysis demonstrated similar energy densities between the 1953, 2012, and ca. 2022-era propellants,with minor changes in activation energy, suggesting slightly decreased propellant thermal stability in the1953 propellant. Chemical analysis supported this observation, with slightly decreased levels of stabilizer(still above accepted minimums) and increased levels of stabilizer byproducts in the 1953 propellant. For field testing, 0.223 Remington rifle cartridges were prepared for the 1953 and 2012 propellants utilizing the same match-grade components and a volume of the respective propellant to result in a muzzle velocity around 800 m/s. Accuracy characteristics and variation in projectile velocity were evaluated in a standardized competition course of fire. For each propellant, 20 rounds were shot from one bolt action rifle with a 1 in 8 inches twist, and 20 rounds were shot from another with a 1 in 7 inches twist. Results showed that the 1953-era propellant demonstrated comparable standard deviations in velocity and ontarget precision to the 2012-era propellant, and both resulted in comparable standard deviations in velocity and on-target performance to a modern extruded commercial reloading propellant.展开更多
