The engine nozzle is prone to work with a state of over-expansion in a high-pressure underwater environment, which will influence the jet flow field and thrust. Experiments of over-expansion supersonic underwater gas jets at different co-flow velocities are conducted using a circulating water tunnel, various forms of wake cavity and their corresponding thrust time-frequency characteristics are analyzed. It is shown that at low velocities, the over-expanded gas jet is difficult to form a cavity attached to the wake or a pulsating foam-type wake cavity. Under such flow conditions, the vehicle experiences pronounced thrust oscillations with a rich frequency spectrum (36 to ${743}\mathrm{\;{Hz}}$). As the Froude number at the co-flow velocity increases to ${Fr}= {8.57}$, the jet eventually forms an intact tail cavity, at which point the amplitude of the thrust oscillations decreases significantly and the mean thrust value increases significantly. The internal gas reflux phenomenon in the jet-induced tail cavity is also directly observed, and the observed reflux velocity at ${Fr}= {8.57}$ is about ${1.13}\mathrm{\;m}/\mathrm{s}$.
During the flight of aircraft, a coupling effect between the fluid aerodynamic forces and the structural elastomer will be formed, and this interaction may cause different degrees of damage to the divergence and jitter of the elastomer, resulting in safety risks. A numerical simulation method of fluid-structure coupling based on time-space conserved element solution and immersion boundary is proposed. The method of time-space conserved element solution is used to calculate the fluid domain, and the submerged body-fitted mesh boundary method is used to identify the fluid-structure coupling boundary surface. Taking NACA0018 as an example, the cloud image of wing outflow field pressure and velocity at different angles of attack is obtained through simulation data. At the same time, the buffeting amplitude of the wing under different inlet velocity and its rule are studied. The research shows that the fluid-structure coupling method has high accuracy and stability in solving high-speed compressible flows with complex flow patterns, including shock wave or detonation and large deformation problems, providing a reference research method for related research.
To achieve attitude stability and depth control of a underwater vehicle, the dynamic characteristics and the influence of the tail rudders and sliding force on its dynamic characteristics are analyzed. The system is divided into three loops, and the controllers are designed for them. According to the damping characteristics of the system, pole placement is performed on the diagonal rate loop, followed by hysteresis correction on the overload loop based on the frequency domain characteristics of the system. Finally, the time domain characteristics of the depth loop are improved by adjusting the gain. Through simulation experiments, it has been verified that the control law designed can achieve attitude stability and depth control of a underwater vehicle, and has certain anti-interference ability. The linear control methods used in the article are common in engineering practice, and the calculation of controller parameters is based on the system's time-domain and frequency-domain performance indicators. The physical meaning is clear, and it has certain reference significance for engineering practice related to underwater vehicle attitude control.
