Abstract

A tandem propeller is a kind of propulsion device that is installed on the outer axis and the inner axis with the same axis respectively and rotates positively and negatively. Taking DTMB tandem thrusters as an example, which consists of propeller3689 and propeller3849, the hydrodynamic characteristic simulation of the tandem thrusters is completed, using sound analogy theory. The simulation results are consistent with the experimental results. The speed distribution of the tandem thrusters and the hydrodynamic wake of the tandem thrusters are analyzed. Through the analysis of acoustic radiation characteristics, it can be concluded that the noise characteristics of tandem thrusters are more complex than those of ordinary propellers, and there are more line spectrum characteristics in them.
