Study on underwater two-dimensional exhaust vent mode based on fixed orifice spacing and variable orifice area distribution

Abstract

The scale parameters of bubbles produced by underwater exhaust influence the effect of the acoustic insulation. According to the dynamic characteristics in the process of underwater exhaust and the design criteria of equal flow per unit area, the two-dimensional equation of underwater exhaust was established. The analytical expressions of the orifice position and geometric parameters of the two-dimensional underwater exhaust device were obtained. The finite element models were established to compare the two vent patterns of uniform distribution and fixed orifice spacing / variable orifice area distribution. The exhaust effect was verified by circulating flume test. The simulation and experimental results show that the fixed orifice spacing and variable orifice area distribution mode can effectively control the distribution of bubbles scale parameters, and enhance the acoustic insulation effect of bubbles.
