摘要：Due to the higher propulsive efficiency, lesser vibration, and better maneuverability, the water jet pump is widely applied to high-speed underwater vehicles. By taking a newly developed water jet pump system as the object, the corresponding underwater vehicle’s operating characteristics affected by different cruising speeds (15.43, 30.86, and 52.47 m/s) were investigated. The steady results reply that the cruising speed increase will result in the decline of the overall performances comprised of the head, the efficiency, the thrust, and the power. While, by using different analyzing methods, the unsteady results are listed as follows: (1) The energy loss theory denotes that the increasing cruising speed promoted the kinetic energy diffusion from the Reynolds stress and viscous stress and depress the turbulent kinetic energy production and the viscous dissipation. (2) The statistical PLS method reveals that the tip load effect on the leakage flow becomes weaker when the cruising speed becomes larger, while the effect from the scraping pressure has a completely opposite trend. (3) Further unsteady analysis implies that the increasing cruising speed makes the pressure pulsation larger and makes the radial force, the axial force, and the cloudy cavity size smaller.
