INVESTIGASI ALIRAN PADA THRUSTER ROV (REMOTELY OPERATED VEHICLE) MENGGUNAKAN METODE CFD

Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) is an underwater robot that designed by UNTAR Robotics Team and has been competed in Singapore Robotics Games (SRG) 2020. Evaluation that conducted from the competition is the need of optimization in thrust and maneuverability so it can move more flexible and stable. Based on the problem, investigation of thruster’s configuration by adding kort nozzle to existing propeller is implemented to increase thrust and performance. Consideration in using open water characteristics for analysis is elaborated in this investigation. The existing propeller has 3-blade with 35 mm diameter; 1,4 pitch diameter ratio; and 0,511 expanded blade area ratio which is used as thruster of ROV 2020. It utilizes CFD approach in ANSYS CFX 2020 R1 software with moving reference frame (MRF) method. Meanwhile, general mesh or unstructured mesh arrangements is used as computational mesh with 165.201 nodes. The MRF implements frozen rotor concept as frame change/mixing to observe fluid flow. The CFD with shear stress transport (SST) k-omega model is conducted. The simulation is done at 300 rpm and J = 0,473 for ROV’s operating condition. The result shows that thruster equipped by kort nozzle is able to increase the thrust for 2,253% and reduce the propeller required torque for 6,633%. Furthermore, the configuration can also reduce wake phenomenon as result of rotating propeller which represents better maneuver chance.
