Abstract
Abstract It has been confirmed that the passive obstacles would substantially depress the leading-edge cavitation in a waterjet pump. Combined with the experiments and numerical simulations, this work revisits blade cavitation evolutions to demonstrate the stabilizing effects of obstacles on cavitation unsteadiness. The multiscale POD (mPOD) and EEMD are adopted to study the energy contributions regarding the cavitation-induced loading and thrust. The mPOD modes illuminate that the leading-edge loading oscillations of the obstacle blade are consequently eliminated where the cavitation is completely depressed and the obstacle cavitation wakes greatly contribute to loading excitation. The thrust statistics demonstrate that the thrust extremes and standard deviation in some revolutions can be well reduced as the large-scale leading-edge cavity depression. The adaptive spectrums obtained by EEMD further illuminate that both the tonal and broadband components of blade thrust would be reasonably degraded to some degree. The pump with only one obstacle implementation, as an improvement strategy, is comparatively studied and indicates that single obstacle configuration presents positive effects on the leading-edge cavity depression owing to the pressure-raising effects and can reduce the unnecessary energy loss compared with two obstacles.
