摘要
This paper focuses on the application of a cross-flow fan (CFF) to generate propulsion for a submersible aircraft with a flying wing configuration. A numerical method is established to simulate the CFF operating both in the air and underwater. This paper then investigates the fluid dynamic characteristics of the CFF, including the velocity field, the pressure field, the cavitation distribution, the lift, and the thrust. It is concluded that proper lifts and thrusts can be obtained when the rotating speed and the angle of attack are reasonably designed. This work provides a valuable numerical methodology for studying the fluid dynamic characteristics of the CFF operating in different media and offers a technical basis for the selection of a motor system for submersible aircraft.
