Abstract

Computational fluid dynamics is applied to analyze the propulsive performance of a certain motorboat propelled by waterjet. The flow fields of a waterjet pump and a “waterjet+duct+grid+hull” system are calculated by Reynoldsaveraged NavierStokes (RANS) equations. Studying the behaviors of the flow fields with CFX postprocessing technology, some shortages are identified that eddy existes at the root of inducer blade and the back of the duct, the efficiency of propulsion also seems lower. For these problems, an optimized geometry of the duct is proposed to improve the propulsive efficiency of the waterjet propulsion system . Results show that an optimized duct can increase the propulsive efficiency by 6%.
