Abstract

The flow field numerical simulation of underwater vehicle with pump jet thruster was performed using the commercially available CFD software FLUENT based on the Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes Equations and kepsilon RNG turbulence model. Multiple reference frames (MRF) was used to associate the interior flow field of the pump jet thruster and exterior flow field of the underwater vehicle. Validity of the CFD model is verified using data from experiment. Characteristic of the overall flow field was obtained and pressure distribution of the propulsion was also given. The simulation results could be regarded as an important reference in the optimal design of pump jet thruster and the hydrodynamic characteristics of underwater vehicle.
