To address the dual demands
of ship green transformation and maneuverability improvement, a novel
electromagnetic end-plate collaborative spoiled rudder (EEPCSR) is proposed,
and a comprehensive analysis of its hydrodynamic performance is conducted.
Using the detached eddy simulation (DES) method, the hydrodynamic numerical
simulations under open-water are carried out for the conventional rudder, the
end-plate rudder, the collaborative spoiled rudder (CSR), and the EEPCSR. The
optimal grid generation strategy is determined through grid convergence
analysis, and the reliability of the method is verified by combining with model
test results. The results show that the end plate can effectively suppress the
rudder tip flow separation, while the spoiler significantly enhances the
rudder’s lift; their synergistic effect achieves both enhanced rudder
effectiveness and efficiency compensation. By adjusting the rudder angle and
spoiler open angle, the efficiency of the EEPCSR is maximally improved by 31.2%
under the constant lift condition compared with the conventional rudder. This
study will provide reference and theoretical support for the engineering design
and application of new-type energy-saving rudder devices.
