Real geometry of a marine propeller DTMB 4118 is used in the calculation, and sliding mesh technique is adopted to deal with the rotational motion of the propeller. The performance of the DES (Detached Eddy Simulation) approach at capturing the unsteady forces and moments on the propeller is compared with experiment. Far-field sound radiation is predicted by the formation 1A developed by Farassat, an integral solution of FW-H (Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings) equation in time domain. The sound pressure and directivity patterns of the propeller operating in two specific velocity distributions are discussed.展开更多

Both lakes are subject to active fish management with annual stocking and removal of large fish. The purpose of the study was to compare hydroacoustic horizontal beam estimates with fish landings. The preliminary results show that the fish distribution patterns dif fered in the two lakes and were af fected by water depth and macrophyte coverage. The hydroacoustically estimated fish biomass matched the commercial catch very well in Niushan Lake, but it was two times higher in Kuilei Lake. However, acoustic estimates included all fish, whereas the catch included only fish >45 cm(smaller ones were released). We were unable to determine the proper regression between acoustic target strength and fish length for the dominant fish species in the two lakes.展开更多

Detached eddy simulation(DES) was used to resolve the unsteady flow field,which was taken as input data as noise propagation. Far-field sound radiation was performed by means of Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings(FW-H) equation. The computation procedure was finally applied to a typical marine propeller,David Taylor Model Basin(DTMB) 4118. The sound pressure and directivity patterns of this propeller were discussed.展开更多

In the current paper, a new technique concerning the propagation path of the monopole acoustic energy is presented and two typical thermodynamic cavitation modes (the inertial and thermal modes) are selected to investigate the effect of the cavity shedding dynamics on the acoustic propagation path. In the inertial mode, the temporal variation and the spatial distributions of the monopole acoustic energy as well as the divergence of the monopole acoustic pressure are both more powerful and concentrated than that in the thermal mode. The acoustic propagation path in the thermal mode strictly satisfies the feature of the convective amplification, while there exists another propagation direction close to the normal direction of the foil surface in the inertial mode. Furthermore, the occurrence of the normal direction propagation will make the path deviate from the convective direction.展开更多
