摘要: 环形螺旋桨因其在推进效率与噪声控制方面的潜力而成为研究前沿, 其中仿生学原理为噪声抑制提供了新颖的技术路径。然而, 仿生改性在水下螺旋桨领域的应用研究仍相对缺乏。为此, 文中研究旨在探究仿生锯齿结构对环形螺旋桨水动力噪声的影响机理。受猫头鹰翼缘锯齿的声学特性启发, 依据环形螺旋桨参数化建模方法, 设计了具有后缘锯齿特征的仿生变体。基于计算流体动力学(CFD)与FW-H声类比理论, 系统性分析了不同锯齿尺寸下的螺旋桨流场特性及非空化噪声声场变化规律。研究结果表明: 仿生结构对螺旋桨的宽带噪声分量具有调制作用, 在径向观测平面内可实现0.3~1.5 dB的降噪量; 在桨叶叶尖与中段后方区域, 降噪效果显著依赖于锯齿尺寸与工作转速, 即高转速下噪声幅值有效降低, 而低转速下特定区域噪声反而略有增加。文中研究阐明了仿生锯齿参数对噪声的影响规律, 为低噪声水下推进器的仿生设计提供了理论依据与优化方向。Abstract: The toroidal propeller has emerged as a research hotspot owing to its potential for enhancing propulsion efficiency and achieving effective noise control. Biomimetic principles offer a novel technical approach to noise reduction. However, the application research of biomimetic modification in the field of underwater propellers is still relatively scarce. Therefore, this study aims to explore the mechanism of the influence of biomimetic serrated structures on the hydrodynamic noise of toroidal propellers. Inspired by the acoustic characteristics of owl wing-edge serrations and based on the parametric modeling method of toroidal propeller, a biomimetic variant with trailing-edge serration features was designed. Based on computational fluid dynamics(CFD) and the FW-H acoustic analogy theory, the characteristics of the propeller flow field and the variation patterns of non-cavitation noise under different serration sizes were systematically analyzed. The research results show that the biomimetic structure has a modulation effect on the broadband noise components of the propeller, achieving a noise reduction of 0.3 to 1.5 dB within the radial observation plane; in the area of the blade tip and the rear part of the middle section, the noise reduction effect is significantly dependent on the serration size and the operating speed. That is, at high rotational speeds, the noise amplitude is effectively reduced, while at low rotational speeds, the noise in specific areas slightly increases. This study elucidated the influence of bionic serrated parameters on noise, providing a theoretical foundation and optimization direction for the bionic design of low-noise underwater propellers.
