Abstract
Hydrodynamic characteristics of manned deep-sea submersibles are important for optimizing design, increasing safety, and improving handling and control. To study the hydrodynamic characteristics of manned deep-sea submersibles in different surfacing attitudes, this paper carries out hydrodynamic tests on the scaled-down simplified model of “Jiaolong” submersible of 1:36. The drag, lift, and pitching moment of the manned deep-sea submersible in different surfacing attitudes are obtained by six-component sensors, and the time-averaged streamlines, turbulence kinetic energy, normal velocity and Reynolds stress distribution are obtained by photographing the wake flow field of the submersible using PIV particle image velocimetry. The results show that compared with the vertical surfacing attitude, the drag decreased by 38.2%, the lift magnitude rose by 98.9%, the pitching moment decreased by 20.8%, the vortex disappeared in the stern wake area, and the maximum turbulent kinetic energy decreased by 33.6% when surfacing at a 30° rake angle.
