摘要：A pump-jet propulsion system is composed of rotor, stator, and duct. The stator has the front stator type and the rear stator type; the conduit also has the acceleration conduit and the deceleration conduit two forms. It is difficult to design and evaluate the performance of a pump-jet propulsion system because of its complex structure and many changes in component parameters. Due to the limitation of time and cost in the design process of the pump-jet propulsion system, it is difficult to find the optimal scheme in the design space. However, under the guidance of an optimization algorithm, the automatic optimization method can fill the design space with a large number of design schemes. In this paper, the geometry reconstruction technique, hydraulic performance evaluation technique and optimization technique of the pump-jet propulsion system are combined to realize the automation of the whole design process. Firstly, the geometric modeling of the pump-jet propulsion system is completed by a full parametric modeling method, and then the hydrodynamic performance of the pump-jet propulsion system is calculated based on the numerical simulation technique. The radial parameters in the fully parametric configuration of the pump-jet propulsion system were selected as the optimization design variables, and the hydro-dynamic performance was optimized as the objective function. Finally, the pump-jet propulsion system optimization design system was constructed by using the global intelligent optimization algorithm. This study provides a theoretical basis and technical guidance for numerical calculation and configuration optimization design of pump-jet propulsion system.
