Abstract:
To understand the flow noise generation mechanism of pump jet propulsor, this paper calculates the flow field of a torpedo pump jet propulsor,analyzes the field structure, and then calculates its broadband noise with Proudman theory. The result shows that the major noise source zone is in conformity with the character of the flow field, indicating the eddy pulse of the flow field is the main factor of noise.Moreover, an approach to control the flow noise of the pump jet propulsor is offered.

2009, 17(2): 005-10. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2009.02.002

[Abstract](2083) [PDF 532KB](798)

Abstract:
A turbulent boundary layer acoustic field of underwater vehicle is deduced with the large eddy simulation (LES) turbulent model and Lighthill′s acoustic analogy. The analysis shows that the transition zone of underwater vehicle has larger power spectral density than the development zone of underwater vehicle,the peak value of transition zone is in high frequency region, and the peak value of development zone is in low frequency region. The effect of velocity on spectrum of underwater vehicle is discussed. With velocity increasing the sound pressure of underwater vehicle rises, which causes the convective frequency moving back in the spectrum.

ZHAO Jia-peng, SHI Xiu-hua, DU Xiang-dang

2009, 17(2): 010-14. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2009.02.003

[Abstract](1429) [PDF 469KB](562)

Abstract:
Based on boundary layer theory and radiated noise theory of boundary layer transition, the conventional torpedo flow noise prediction models are analyzed and compared, and an integrated prediction method of torpedo flow noise is hence presented. This new method improves the Liepmann analogy based on displacement thickness monopole sound source model by using Krane dipole sound source model, and considers the effects of pressure gradient and the loss of noise diffraction on boundary layer transition.Calculation results show that the transition in an adverse pressure gradient results in higher radiated noise in comparison with the transition in a zero pressure gradient, and the noise prediction by the integrated prediction method coincides with the measured one.

[Abstract](2035) [PDF 439KB](754)

Abstract:
To analyze the stability of unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) with external torpedoes,this paper calculates the optimum location of external torpedoes, deduces a spatial motion model of the hung torpedoes, and then simplifies the model as longitudinal motion and transverse rolling. Disturbance equation is achieved, and the Laplace transform is performed by analyzing the reaction force imposed on UUV by the external torpedoes. The condition to estimate the stability of UUV with external torpedoes is finally obtained according to the stability criterion.

2009, 17(2): 020-24. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2009.02.005

[Abstract](2041) [PDF 540KB](716)

Abstract:
For strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) in autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), launch shock or insufficient alignment time may result in considerable initial misalignment errors, and the azimuth misalignment error is a major factor to reduce AUV position accuracy. In this paper, dead-reckoning (DR) and strapdown gyro-compass alignment (GA) algorithms are synchronously executed soon after AUV launch using raw data from strapdown inertial measurement unit (SIMU) and Doppler velocity log (DVL). After a short-time of GA level tuning stage, DR level attitudes are corrected to diminish level errors, but DR azimuth is corrected only when GA is convergent during the azimuth adjustment stage. Azimuth error between GA and DR is calculated, and DR position errors can be estimated by the similarity theory of DR course and AUV actual course. Hence, AUV navigation accuracy can be improved. The simulation results show that the proposed method can perfectly correct position errors due to initial misalignment errors, but excluding position errors caused by DVL scale error. In the simulation case, AUV position errors diminish to 19.8% after error compensation.

JI Bang-jie, WANG Hai-lu, YAN You-rong, LI Bi-li

2009, 17(2): 025-28. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2009.02.006

[Abstract](1388) [PDF 429KB](672)

Abstract:
The physical characteristics of wake are very different from those of normal sea water, such as acoustic, optical, thermal and electromagnetic characteristics. So ship wake can be detected via its optical characteristic variation by laser. When laser propagates through ship wake, its wavefront varies, hence ship wake can be detected.Therefore, a wake field detection method using laser wavefront variation is presented in this paper. Experimental results show that the influence of micro-bubbles on wavefront variation is weak,but eddy flow imposes a significant effect on laser wavefront.This method may provide an approach to detect ship wake more effectively.

Space-Time Two-Dimensional Distribution of Reverberation in Shallow Water and Anti-Reverberation

ZHAN Hao-ke, CAI Zhi-ming, YUAN Bing-cheng

2009, 17(2): 029-32. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2009.02.007

[Abstract](1732) [PDF 468KB](690)

Abstract:
Reverberation with different incident cone-angles, in shallow water spreads space-time coupling Doppler,and produces a certain bandwidth interference in frequency spectrum,which gives rise to great difficulty in detection of target. The Doppler bandwidth interference is found to have special two-dimensional space-time form in this paper. Consequently, the conventional method, which restrains reverberation using Doppler difference only in frequency spectrum,is not as satisfactory as the space-time method.Therefore,the application of space-time adaptive optimization method to active acoustic homing torpedo is studied, and the conventional method is improved by restraining the side lobe reverbereration and main lobe reverberation with self Doppler null method. Simulation results show that the two methods can both suppress the reverberation effectively, and the improved method can be implemented more easily in real-time process because of its less computation.

[Abstract](1548) [PDF 387KB](653)

Abstract:
To improve the localization accuracy of bistatic sonar in such districts as baseline district, and side districts of transmitting and receiving stations, the most effective method is to increase the number of transmitting and receiving stations, which forms a multistatic sonar system. The mature algorithms for multistatic sonar system are the multistatic time-only localization (TOL) algorithm and the multistatic bearing-only localization (BOL) algorithm, which contain three measurements in one subset. This paper proposes a new algorithm by combining multistatic TOL algorithm and multistatic BOL algorithm for multistatic sonar system. The simulation results show that the proposed localization algorithm exhibits highest accuracy compared with the multistatic TOL algorithm, the multistatic BOL algorithm and the algorithm whose subset contains six measurements.
