Abstract:
      The paper aims to study the effect of warhead configuration on bubbles on the surface of underwater projectiles. Based on a high-speed camera system, a water tunnel test is carried out for underwater projectiles with different warhead configurations, the morphological changes of microbubbles generated by the platform cone warhead under the conditions of different speeds and ventilation pressures, and the morphological changes of microbubbles generated by different warhead configurations under the same speed and ventilation pressure are compared and analyzed, and then the shape of the bubbles is analyzed, as well as the effect of changes on drag reduction efficiency. The experimental results show that compared with the elliptical tip warhead, platform cone warhead is easier to form large bubbles in the leading edge area of the microporous material, which has a better wrapping effect on the projectile, thus improving the drag reduction efficiency. For different warhead configurations, under the same flow rate and ventilation pressure, when the warhead taper is 43.6°, the drag reduction effect is the best. Therefore, it is inferred that there is an optimal taper to maximize the coverage area of the gas film and the best drag reduction effect.
