Title
Flow Field Analysis of Cutter Head for Cutter Suction Dredgers.
Abstract
For a cutter suction dredger, exploring slurry formation mechanism plays an important role for improving the dredgeru0027s efficiency and performance. In order to optimize the dredgeru0027s working parameters, the flow field is simulated for the cutter head of a cutter suction dredger in this study. First, Cutteru0027s 3D model is constructed by 3D Modeling software after necessary parameters are collected according to the designing 2D geometric drawing and related empirical contour curves. Then import the model to CFD for analysis, numerically simulate the cutteru0027s flow field in different working conditions so as to achieve the velocity and pressure distribution in and around the cutter head. And based on the simulation result, the optimized working point can be found in terms of equipment service life, environment protection and energy consumption.
