Modal Analysis of Marine Propeller Submerged in Fluid

Abstract:

The present work is aimed to free vibration characteristics of marine propeller in fluid, and analyze the influence of fluid inertial effect on propeller. The fully coupled three dimensional finite element method is applied, and the commercial finite element code, ANSYS WORKBENCH, has been used to perform modal analysis for both wet and dry configurations via fluid-structure interaction APDL commands for secondary development. On this basis, analyze a marine propeller in air and in fluid with finite element analysis, then the differences of natural vibration frequencies and vibration modes of the propeller for different boundary conditions are discussed. In addition, the natural frequencies curves are presented. Results show that the natural frequencies of propeller in fluid are significantly lower than those in air, the fluid inertia effect also has some influences on vibration mode.
