this paper presents numerical calculations for podded propulsion system using vortex theory and potential panel method. the method discretizes the surface boundary of the body (propeller +pod+strut) and obtained the vortex and propeller surface and potential on strut and pod. a model propeller and strut are considered for these calculations and the results of pressure distribution, flow field a...

In the procedure of designing an underwater vehicle or robot, its maneuverability and controllability must be simulated and tested, before the product is finalized for manufacturing. Since the hydrodynamic forces and moments highly affect the dynamic and maneuverability of the system, they must be estimated with a reasonable accuracy. In this study, hydrodynamic coefficients of an autonomous un...

this paper discusses the control of flexible microgrids, consisting of a redox flow batteries (rfb) and a new power conditioning system (pcs) for the rfb. considering the importance of energy storage, this study is essential in power systems that are developed cautiously. rfb is connected to power system by a dc/dc or dc/ac converter to produce a dc voltage. it is very important that this conve...

We calculate the average hydrodynamic stress on fractal aggregates of spheres using Stokesian dynamics. We find that for fractal aggregates of force-free particles, the stress does not grow as the cube of the radius of gyration, but rather as the number of particles in the aggregate. This behavior is only found for random aggregates of force-free particles held together by hydrodynamic lubricat...

water hammer is one of the destructive hydrodynamic phenomena which is established in most pumping stations, transmission lines and hydroelectric power plants. this phenomenon gives rise to abnormal pressures, cavitation occurrence and finally pipe explosion and disturbance of the whole system. to control the maleffects of this event, different methods are devised. one of which is sometimes eno...

Heavy-duty vehicle hydrodynamic mechanical automatic transmission shifting operation system was designed, mathematical model of its simplified hydraulic system was established and simulation model of shifting operation system was established with AMESim, the simulation experiment was carried out, then oil pressure curves of each clutch hydraulic cylinder were obtained when giving forward gear o...
