Pump-jet propulsor is a kind of ship propulsion appliances with high propulsion efficiency, strong cavitation resistance and low noise radiation. Pump-jet propulsor is mainly used in submarine, torpedo and other underwater vehicles, the study of pump-jet propulsor is significant. On the one hand, the hydraulic performance of pump-jet propulsor is the key factor to determine whether it can meet the work requirements; On the other hand, the noise characteristics of pump-jet propulsor directly affect the stealth performance of submarine and other military equipment. Therefore, the research of pump-jet propulsor mainly focuses on its hydraulic performance and noise characteristics. In this paper, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is used to simulate the steady hydraulic performance of pump-jet propulsor in open water and the unsteady hydraulic performance behind the submarine. The Reynolds Average N-S (RANS) equation was used to obtain the open water performance curves of the pump-jet propulsor, and the effects of different turbulence models on the calculation results were compared. The time-domain and frequency-domain characteristics of unsteady force of the pump jet propulsor behind the submarine are obtained based on Large Eddy Simulation (LES) method. Then the calculation results were compared with the experimental data to verify the rationality and accuracy of the numerical simulation, so that the hydraulic performance of the pump-jet propulsor was comprehensively analyzed and evaluated. On the basis of the flow field calculated by CFD, numerical prediction on the noise generation and propagation characteristics of the pump-jet propulsor was made by using acoustic boundary element method and fan sound source theory, and the spectral characteristics, spatial directivity and contribution to the total noise of each component of the pump-jet propulsor were analyzed. Finally, the noise of each component was superimposed to obtain the total noise spectrum characteristics and spatial distribution of the pump-jet propulsor, which will provide a basis for the noise reduction optimization of the pump-jet propulsor and help further research in related fields.
