Abstract

Coupling design of rim-driven integrated motor propulsor for vessels and underwater vehicle is presented in this paper. The main characteristic of integrated motor propulsor is that the motor is integrated in the duct of propulsor. So the coupling design of motor and propulsor is the key to the overall design. Considering the influence of the motor and duct size, the propeller was designed, and the CFD Method was used to analyze the hydrodynamic performance of the propulsor. Based on the air-gap magnetic field of permanent magnet motor and the equivalent magnetic circuit, the integrated motor electromagnetic model was proposed, and the finite element method was used to analyze the motor electromagnetic field. Finally, the simulation of the integrated motor starting process with the load of propulsor torque was carried out, and the results meets the design specifications.
