ABSTRACT
A novel alternative configuration for wateriets was optimizedand evaluated for application to high water speed amphibians,like the planned AAAV. The concept demonstrated good performancein two generations of prototypes and a production run of unitsabout half the size required for this application. Optimizationanalysis was based on methods confirmed by tests of the earlierunits. Results show jet will provide satisfactory performance.Limited data indicates improved system performance will berealized from elimination of forward intakes of conventionalwateriets. The optimization study showed a 16 inch wateriet tobe optimum for the application. Adequate design engineering wasperformed to assure feasibility of the proposed design andavailability of the needed components. The wateriet comparesfavorably to conventional designs in length, weight,maintainability, affordability and program risk. Installationstudies show four jets can be installed on the proposed transomflap and will not project above the hull when retracted. Analternate transom flap design, optimized for these jets,provided a low level walkway for troop entry when the flap isdeployed and a troop door to permit entry without lowering the
transom flap.

INTEGRAL ELECTRIC MOTOR & REFLEX WATERJETFOR HIGH SPEED AMPHIBIANS
1. INTRODUCTION
Studies made for the LVA program indicated that higher waterspeed, on the order of 25 miles per hour, was needed for assaultamphibians. This water speed would permit launching theamphibians so far from shore that the threat of land basedmissiles would be greatly reduced. The Falkland Islandexperience confirmed the validity of the requirement forincreased speed.
The general size and configuration of an assault amphibian aredriven by the military mission and the need to maintain a trackcontact length to tread ratio under about 2.8 to 1 to assureacceptable steering characteristics. The heavy weight (over60,000 pounds) and small bottom area (about 250 square feet plusauxiliary systems) requires an unusually high lift coefficient.The size of the auxiliary systems like bow flaps, chine flapsand transom flaps is limited by practical constraints of landmode combat operation. The trim angles required to develop therequired lift coefficients produce a high drag coefficient. Theproduct of the high drag coefficient and the heavy weightproduces a very large drag value that necessitates very highthrust. The size of affordable and proven engines is limited,therefor the required thrust must be achieved by a superiorpropulsive coefficient. The critical factor for a waterjet toachieve the required propulsive coefficient at low speeds is ahigh mass flow. This required high mass flow can only beprovided by a large wateriet.
Studies of the AAAV with a conventional wateriet of the neededsize showed that when the transom flap was retracted for landmode, the wateriets would protrude more than 20 inches above therear deck. This protrusion interferes with rearward vision andgun depression. The folded flow path of the reflex waterietmerited study because it offered an opportunity to provide amuch shorter jet that would not protrude above the rear deck ofthe AAAV.
This study optimized and evaluated an integral electricmotor/waterjet design based on a unique waterjet configurationthat has demonstrated improved performance compared toconventional wateriet arrangements in pleasure boat sizes. Theaim of the effort was to develop a wateriet concept that wouldoffer improved performance and/or reduced power requirement,reduced system weight, reduced material cost, conservation ofstrategic material and easier maintenance and repair. The priorexperience with the similar concept for recreational boatsprovided confidence that these challenging goals could bereached.
FINAL REPORT, April 26, 1991, Page 1
Use of data from the design and test of previous recreationalunits of this general configuration minimized risk byconstraining the study to proven range of design factors. Use of
* existing proprietary programs for hydrodynamic optimization andimpeller configuration permitted a very detailed study to bemade within the time and cost limitations of a Phase I SBIRprogram. The accuracy of these computer programs has beenconfirmed by extensive tests of waterjets built from the results,of these programs. This detailed study assures that the
0 configurations illustrated are feasible and provides a soundbasis for the mechanical design and space requirements. Themechanical configuration is based on successful experience. Theindividual components are of simple, conventional design tominimize risk.
The scope of the study effort has been sufficient to provide thebasis for a prototype. The hydrodynamics have been pursued indepth. The mechanical concept is based on previous successfulunits and has been reviewed for producibility andmaintainability. Coordination with motor vendors providedassurance that multiple sources are available for the requiredmotor.
2. DISCUSSION
2.1 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF TECHNICAL WORK
2.1.1 PROCEDURES
2.1.1.1 PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
The performance optimization wa5 made by use of W. E. Rodler'sproprietary program JETOPT9D. This program has been developedover a period of 18 years. The accuracy of the results producedby this program has been confirmed by tests of waterjetsdesigned by its use and by comparison with the results ofwateriet analysis by organizations like Aerojet, Rocketdyne,Dowty and Byron Jackson. Tests have shc,4n pzzf~.mance variationof production wateriets built to the same design to be as muchas +/- 2%. The results of this program have been found to fallwithin that scatter band.
The program starts with the basic physics of force equals masstimes acceleration of the fluid. Corrections are then made for:
1. Inlet drag based on capture area, hullvelocity and an experimental coefficient.
2. Ram head recovery based on velocity and an
experimental coefficient.
3. Inlet flow loss based on curvature and convergence of
the inlet.
4. Impeller efficieticy based on tip vc.-ocity, diameter,cavitation limits, flow, and head.
FINAL REPORT, April 26, 1991, Page 2
5. Stator and nozzle losses based on geometry andexperimental coefficients.
* 6. Unit size, flow velocities and anticipated surfacefinishes.
The program iterates through a very large number of combinationsof these interrelated factrs to achieve an optimized systemresult.
2.1.1.2 IMPELLER DESIGN
The impeller blade design program is based on an unpublisheddesign method developed by Heinich Schneider, the inventor ofthe automotive hydrodynamic torque converter. The toroid flowpath essential to the basic torque cunverter mechanical designwas not well suited to conventional blade design techniques,therefor this alternative method was established. The method wasadapted to water pumps using information published by A. J.Stepanoff with additional modifications from Fuji MotorsCorporation test data. The method has been developed into aproprietary program by W. E. Rodler and has been used tooptimize the impeller design. Some of the advantages of bladesystems designed by this method are:
A. High resistance to cavitation. Torque converters withthis type of blades will operate without cavitation ata charging pressure of 35 psi compared to the 60 psinormal required by conventional designs. In waterjets,simple impellers have provided satisfactory operationsuction specific speeds over 30,000.
B. High efficiency. In a torque converter, efficiency iscritical because it is directly related to vehicleperformance and fuel economy. This situation motivatedthe resepe-h to develop more efficient blade designs.When applied to wateriets, test. indicate animprovement of approximately 3% over conventionaldesigns.
C. Simple contours that favor economical fabrication. Themethod relates blade contours and passage crosssection. By a series of design iterations it ispossible to achieve a combination of simple bladecontours with flow passage cross sections that providehigh "through flow ability".
2.1.1.3 INLET CAPTURE AREA DESIGN
The design of the inlet is based on extensive tests made duringthe development of a 7.34" diameter recreational wateriet. Thecritical goals for this section of the waterjet system are:
FINAL REPORT, April 26, 1991, Page 3
1. Good ram head recovery2. Low drag coefficient3. Freedom from ventilation4. Protection from entrance of foreign items
During the development of the 7.34" waterjet inlet, severalsatisfactory designs evolved. There were significant variationsin the ram head recovery, but all of the satisfactory designsproduced comparable free running performance. It was concludedthat high levels of ram recovery were associated withcorresponding high levels of inlet drag. The basic laws ofconservation of energy appear to be at work. Increased ram headincreased flow and gross thrust, but the added drag resulted inno measurable gain in the speed of a free running hull.
The initial inlet design for the 7.34" wateriet experienced aventilation problem. As the hull approached planing speed, afraction of air entered the inlet, and pump performance wasseriously degraded. A minor modification of the inlet eliminatedthe ventilation problem and no problem was experienced withsubsequent designs.
Operation with several variations of inlet grill was compared tooperation without a grill. The effect of the well designedgrills was found to be negligible. The most significantdifference between the grill designs was found in their abilityto shed rather than retain foreign items. None was found to becompletely able to shed foreign items. The velocity andresulting impact forces are high. In one case a 12" length of afir 2 by 4 impaled itself on a grill. The grill bar cut into the2 by 4 as an axe might do, and significant force was required todislodge this foreign item. The test program showed that aninlet grill was very desirable and that with proper design therewas no measurable degradation of performance.
2.1.1.4 INLET ELBOW DESIGN
The inlet elbow design is based on the proven principles used inthe design of the earlier reflex waterjets. The velocities andradii are retained. The low mounting position of the waterjet onthe AAAV increases the net positive head, providing anadditional margin of safety. The passageway is convergent tominimize losses and to provide improved velocity distribution atthe impeller inlet (see appendix A, REFLEX WATERJET MID PROGRAMREVIEW, January 29, 1991, page 17).
The velocity of the water increases progressively through theentire waterjet. The wateriet is a system with a purpose ofaccelerating water to a high velocity at the nozzle. Torqueconverter design principles and experience with prior reflexwaterjets indicate that highest systems efficiency is achievedwith a "system approach" to flow velocity that provides thehighest rates of acceleration after the impeller, where the head
is the highest. Prior reflex waterjet designs have provided veryhigh efficiency by using a constant jerk (rate of change ofacceleration) from inlet to the nozzles. The velocity rates
FINAL REPORT, April 26, 1991, Page 4
0
through the inlet elbow are governed by this system principle.(see appendix B, REFLEX WATERJET MID PROGRAM REVIEW, January 29,1991, page 18)
2.1.1.5 NOZZLE DESIGN
The inlets to the nozzle passages are aligned with the absolutedirection of the impeller discharge flow. The stator of aconventional pump is eliminated as well as the stators lossesand cavitation problems. Instead of "straightening out" therotation of the impeller discharge flow, there is a smoothcontinuation of the angular acceleration started in theimpeller. The passages continue the convergence to continue theprogressive acceleration of the fluid. The nozzle size isdetermined by the area required to produce the dischargevelocity determine by the performance optimization studies.
2.1.2 EQUIPMENT
2.1.2.1 COMPUTATIONS
Most of the optimization and design calculations were made byuse of a Panasonic (IBM PC compatible) computer. The author madeuse of an extensive software library previously developed forconverter and waterjet analysis to maximize the amount ofanalysis possible within the cost constraints of the program.
2.1.2.2 DRAWINGS
Drawings were made using conventional drafting equipment.
2.1.3 FACILITIES
No special facilities were required to perform this effort.
2.1.4 DATA
Extensive use was made of an unpublished proprietary data basedeveloped from prior torque converter and wateriet studies anddevelopment programs. Public domain data has been used as notedin references throughout this report.
2.1.5 MATH COMPUTATIONS (successful and ursuccessful)
Sample calculations and copies of significant computer runs areattached as appendix D.
2.1.6 RESULTS
This study program has produced a low risk waterjet concept thatprovides the required AAAV thrust and offers the followingadvantages when compared to conventional configurations:
FINAL REPORT, April 26, 1991, Page 5
1. Reduced waterjet length2. Reduced waterjet weight3. Reduced cost4. Simplified maintenance5. Improved hull performance
2.1.6.1 REDUCED LENGTH
Three major factors contribute to the reduced length of thereflex, or folded, configuration. First, the intake capture areais located below the main body of the waterjet, rather than well
ahead of it. Second, the nczzles are located along the side ofthe pump, rather than behind it. Finally, a relative largediameter and correspondingly shorter motor can be used becauseit is not in the main water flow path where a large diametermotor would limit passage area and mass flow.
2.1.6.2 REDUCED WEIGHT
A weight estimate of 551 pounds, includes motor and intake. Themotor weight is based an estimate from Uniq Mobility. It istypical of estimates from two other motor sources. The weightof the balance of the jet is proportioned from actual scaleweights of a similar, but smaller, wateriet. See Appendix B, MidProgram Review, January 29, 1991, Page 16 for details of thecalculation.
This weight is comparable to prior AAAV waterjets, but it isbased on conventional aluminum construction. Application ofcomposites, as done in the earlier AAAV wateriet should produceadditional weight savings. A cost vs. weight study foralternative materials is planned as part of a Phase 2 program.
Extensive test experience with similar designs have shown thatan aluminum impeller of the planned configuration will providesatisfactory performance and life. For details, see Appendix B,Reflex Jet Mid Program Review, January 29, 1991, Page 15. Thealuminum material will result in savings of both weight andcost.
A further effective weight reduction will be realized from themore compact configuration and resulting reduced internal volumeof on board water.
2.1.6.3 REDUCED COST
The aluminum impeller will reduce both material and machiningcosts. Aluminum can also be used for much of the balance of thewaterjet without exceeding present target weights.
The simple interface between the motor and the wateriet issuitable for motors from most sources. This offers a potentialsavings in both development and production procurement.
The design and development problems of the land propulsion
motors are far more severe than the waterjet motors because the
FINAL REPORT, April 26, 1991, Page 6
waterjet maximum horsepower requirement occurs at maximum RPM.The maximum power of the land mode motors must be delivered atlow speeds, therefor these motors must be capable of producingmuch higher torque. The high torques result in a larger motor
* and more severe motor control problems. Any motor and controlsources that can meet the land mode requirements can easily meetthe wateriet requirements. The adaptability of the reflexwateriet to motors from various sources permits electricalsystem source selection to be made on the basis of the best landmode motor and control concepts. Reduced cost and better system
* design integration should result from having the land propulsionand wateriet motors and controls designed and produced by asingle source.
2.1.6.4 SIMPLIFIED MAINTENANCE
* The critical impeller, reduction gearing and motor componentsform a single sealed module that can be easily replaced in thefield. This component module can be serviced by higher echelonpersonnel who have the necessary equipment and facilities toperform the clean and precise maintenance that is required bysuch components.
2.1.6.5 IMPROVED HULL PERFORMANCE
The effect of the rearward location of the water inlet of thereflex waterjet appears to be a significant factor in theperformance of the watercraft system. Verification of theeffects of this rear intake location and their quantificatioare necessary factors in a proper evaluation of the applicationof this wateriet system in comparison to conventional designs.The currently available information suggests more study in thisarea would be valuable.
Experimental indications:
Outboard Marine Corporation has conducted a series of testscomparing a matched pair of Cobalt boats powered by 305 CIDChevrolet engines. One boat had an OMC inboard/outdrive mountedpropeller and the other had a conventional Jacuzzi waterjet witha forward water intake. The boat with the forward intakerequired an additional 5 mph speed to achieve plane. This curveis reproduced in Appendix A, REFLEX JET, October 10, 1990, Page20 of 22. A possible explanation is that the higher dynamicpressure provided by the additional 5 MPH speed compensates forthe loss of lift coefficient caused by the forward intake.Analysis of these data by use of Dr. Daniel Savitsky's planinghull analysis indicates the coefficient of lift was 0.045 forthe hull with an inlet opening for a conventional jet and 0.070for the propeller boat with no opening in the hull bottom. Seethe attached Appendix b, REFLEX WATERJET MID PROGRAM REVIEW,January 29, 1991, Page 24 for the details of the analysis.
Free running tests cf boats equipped with the reflex wateriethave consistently shown better performance than can be explainedjust by the performance of the waterjet itself. A Sea Ray SRV-
FINAL REPORT, April 26, 1991, Page 7
19, a Glastron V-174, and a Sportline 16 were all tested withMercruiser Inboard/Outdrive propeller installations that werereplaced and retested with reflex waterjets. Only the drive waschanged. In all cases, the top speed of the jet was 1 to 2 MPHless than the propeller drives, but the acceleration times toachieve plane were reduced about 30 percent. Conventional jetstypically require a 50 % more power to equal propellerperformance. The reflex jet achieved fuel consumption -rates,comparable to the propeller installation. Conventional jets inthe recreation boat industry are noted for their high fuelconsumption.
Analytical considerations:
Analysis indicates that placing the waterjet inlet in the bottomof a hull should be undesirable and that the significance shouldincrease with low hull speeds and high mass flow waterjets.
To achieve the desired performance, the waterjets of the AAAVwill have a mass flow of about 20,000 gallons per minute each,or a total flow of 80,000 GPM, or 178 cubic feet per second.
Studies and tests have shown the AAAV hump speed will approach18 miles per hour, or 26.4 feet per second. The cross section ofthe stream of water under the hull that will be diverted intothe waterjet will therefore be 6.74 square feet. If the hullbottom between the tracks is about 7 feet wide, nearly one footdepth of water in this area will be diverted into the waterjets.This quantity should be enough to have significant effect onhull trim, lift and drag.
Tests have shown that a transom flap has a powerful effect onhulls like the AAAV. A transom flap with a 6 foot span and a 4foot length would need to be set at a 16.3 degree deflection topresent the same 6.74 square foot frontal projected area as thestream of water entering the waterjets.
Dan Savitsky and Peter Brown have published "Procedures ForHydrodynamic Evaluation of Planing Hulls In Smooth and RoughWaters" (Marine Technology, October 1976). Page 384 of thispublication gives the following equation (5) for calculatingflap lift:
f = 0.046 * Lf * 6 * a * b * (p/2 * V2)
Where: Estimate for AAAV
f = Flap lift increment, pounds
Lf = Flap chord, ft. 4
a = Flap span-beam ratio 6/11 = 0.5455
6 = Flap deflection, degrees 16.30
b = Beam of planing surface, ft. 11
FINAL REPORT, April 26, 1991, Page 8
p = Mass density, slugs/cu. ft. 2
V = Speed, fps 26.4
Inserting values into the equation yields:
f = 0.046 * 4 * 16.3 * 0.5455 * 1* (2/2 * 26.42)
f = 12,543 pounds
Since the mass of water diverted into the wateriets approximatesthe water deflected by the above transom flap, the resultingforces may be similar.
Independent comments:
Art Carlson, Designer of Glastron's "Carlson" line of highperformance boats:
When shown the concept, he was the first person to pointout the probable advantage of avoiding the wateriet inletin the bottom of the hull.
Quoting a letter based on engineering analysis from W. H. Knuth,Program Manager, Midrange Wateriets, Marine Systems, AerojetLiquid Rocket Company:
"The aft-mounted intake would appear to benefit from theup-welling flow as it escapes from astern the transom tobecome the wake.
All things considered, we should expect to see a boat thatmaintains a more level attitude traversing hump, achievesand holds plane at lower speeds, has less inlet relatedlosses and therefore, improved thrust efficiency, reducedtendency to cavitate at startout, giving betteracceleration and possibly reduced tendency to broach theinlet in a turn.
A variety of mechanical design advantages come to mind aswell which need not be listed here. I do believe the aftlocation of the intake offers potential for being shown tobe superior to a through-hull intake in many if not allcases."
Quoting from a test report by David Moseley, Chief Engineer,Propulsion Systems, Glastron Boats:
"The pulling power of the package was demonstrated bytowing a 180 pound slalom skier with three people in theboat. The boat pulled the skier up with no trouble at all,much easier than a CV-16 with a Merc 140.
FINAL REPORT, April 26, 1991, Page 9
In general, the Sternjet unit was a very impressive
prototype."
Notes by W. E. R.:
1. The CV-16 is a very similar Glastron boat.2. The Merc 140 is an inboard/outdrive propeller
with the same engine as used with the wateriet.
Quoting a letter from Gunnar Frandsen, Sales Development Managerof Volvo Penta of America, Inc.:
"The demonstration of the Sternjet extended to themanagement of VOLVO PENTA of AMERICA by Mr. Mallon lastsummer gave an indication that the concept has satisfactoryperformance and offers acceptable maneuverabtiity whencompared to an inboard outboard drive, and it was mostimpressive compared to existing jet drives.
Recommendation:
More study and test is necessary to confirm the magnitude of theeffect of forward intake of a conventional wateriet vs. rearwardintake of a reflex waterjet. The above material indicates thatsome effect exists and that the effect may be significant.Further study appears justified as a system approach to reducingthe AAAV power requirement.
2.1.6.6 MINIMIZING PROGRAM RISK
The program risk has been minimized by basing the design on aproven concept and by a careful desiqn effort that has retainedall major design factors in a range of prior experience.
The basic concept has demonstrated its performance capability byextensive tests and operation of:
A. A first series of three prototypes as shown inAppendix A, REFLEX JET, October 10, 1990, pages 2, 3 &4.
B. A second series of three prototypes and 50 productionunits as shown in Appendix A, Reflex Jet, October 10,1990, pages 5 through 14
Throughout the Phase 1 design effort, the basic engineeringfactors from the above designs have been retained to minimizerisk. Water velocities, curvature of passages, impeller bladeangles, tip velocities, cavitation factors, and convergence aretypical of the values retained within ranges established byprevious successful experience.
The level of risk is therefor considered to be very low.

4.1 ASSIGNMENTS
4.1.1 PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
The optimization study started with a matrix of computer runs tousing W. E. Rodler's proprietary "JETOPT9" program. This programhas been developed over a period of eighteen years. Computerresults have been compared to test results to confirm theeffectiveness of the program. Comparisons of computed and test
* values are show in Appendix A, REFLEX JET, October 10, 1990,Page 14 of 20. Additional comparison have been made withanalytical results from Aerojet, Rocketdyne, Byron Jackson andothers to provide additional confidence in the accuracy ofprogram results. The results fall within the +/- 2% scatter bandthat is typical for production wateriets.
The results of these are shown in Appendix B, REFLEX WATERJETMID PROGRAM REVIEW, January 29, 1991, Pages 7 through 13. The
FINAL REPORT, April 26, 1991, Page 12
results of an optimum combination of these factors is shown onpage 6 of the same Appendix B.
4.1.2 HYDRODYNAMIC DESIGN
The first step was to establish the normal velocity of the waterflowing through the waterjet system. The velocity at thecapture area of the inlet was established based on previousexperience at 31 feet per second at the 18 MPH hull speed. Thisresults in an inlet velocity ratio of 1.17, which has provensatisfactory in prior designs.
The nozzle size and discharge velocity was determined by thcoptimized computer run using the "JETOPT9" program. The nozzlearea of 104.9 square inches resulted in a discharge velocity of64.11 feet per second.
Between these two points, the flow velocity was determined bymaintaining constant jerk (rate of change of acceleration). Thisvelocity distribution produces convergent flow throughout thesystem.
The inlet duct design was derived from previous successfuldesigns. Test of the previous units have shown a favorablevelocity distribution at the impeller inlet using this design(see Appendix A, REFLEX JET, October 18, 1990, page 13 of 22).
The impeller is of a forced vortex design. This type of bladedesign has been extensively used in automotive torqueconverters. It produces a blade that has less difference betweenblade angles at the blade tips and roots than free vortexdesigns. The resulting blade shapes are stronger and easier toproduce. The blade angle is also a function of the radius toeach specific point on the blade. A series of impeller crosssection modifications were made that retain the desired normalvelocity distribution, but refine the blade angles to achievesimple, easily produced contours. The results of thisoptimization is shown in Appendix B, REFLEX WATERJET MIDPROGRAM REVIEW, January 29, 1991, Page 20.
The design of the stator and nozzle assembly, like the intake,follows the principles of previous successful designs. The ratesof acceleration are higher, but the head is also much higher,which avoids the risk of cavitation.
4.1.3 MECHANICAL CONCEPT DESIGN
The general mechanical design follows previous successfuldesigns. For this application the entire waterjet is supportedby the intake elbow. This arrangement has been selected toassure that the transom flap deflections induced by the pressurevariations from wave action are isolated from the pump and motorsections of the waterjet. This isolation minimizes the requiredimpeller tip clearance, which improves pump efficiency and

extends the service life before excessive tip wear necessitatesmaintenance.
The motor is mounted to the waterjet by means of a mountingface, pilot ring and bolt circle. This arrangement has beenextensively used in aircraft applications for mounting highspeed (12,000 RPM) alternators and hydraulic pumps. The motor iseasily removed for repair or replacement and the electrica.1terminals are readily accessible which simplifies installationand sealing of the electrical wiring. A key advantage to thisarrangement is that it is adaptable to motors of varioussources. While no "Off the shelf" motors have been found to meetthe requirements of this application, four sources have beenfound who are able to produce motors for this requirement. (SeeAppendix B, REFLEX WATERJET MID PROGRAM REVIEW, January 29,1991, Page 22)
The impeller is driven from the motor by means of star gearreduction gearing. A star gear set is similar to a planetarygear set, but the carrier is stationary and the sun and ringgears rotate in opposite directions. A single stage of gearingprovides the needed ratio to match the speed of the availablemotors to the impeller speed. The impeller is mounted to andextension of the stationary carrier by means of a pair oftapered roller bearings. The generous spacing between thesebearings provides the rigidity necessary to minimize anypossibility of rubbing between the impeller tips and thewaterjet housing. An external spline on the ring gear drives theimpeller and axial location of the ring gear is maintained by aninternal snap ring. Gear loads, bearing sizes and seal rubbingvelocity have been checked and suitable sources located forthese components. Enough analytical work has been done to assurefeasibility of the design, but an optimization effort isanticipated as part of phase 2 of the development. A cross

4.1.4 JET SYSTEM CONCEPT
The reflex wateriet configuration offers significant advantagesover conventional arrangements.
There is considerable flexibility in the installed dimensions ofa given diameter reflex waterjet. Various combinations of nozzlelocations, nozzle shapes and inlet horn widths permitsignificant variations to suit specific applications. Thecurrent configuration proposed for the AAAV is 52 inches long,21 inches high and 21 inches wide. A typical alternative couldhave a wider, but shorter inlet elbow. This could offer awaterjet that was only 40 inches long, 21 inches high and 27inches wide. A coordinated effort with the vehicle manufactureras part of the Phase 2 effort would permit optimizing thewateriet configuration for the specific vehicle application.
The motor envelope is relatively flexible. The face mounting tothe drive is a widely used in aircraft, machine tools and pumps.
FINAL REPORT, April 26, 1991, Page 14
The motor diameter can be as high as 18 inches without effectingthe overall package dimensions of the motor-wateriet system. Themotor length adds directly to the system length, but the shortlength of the reflex jet allows use of any motors of normalproportions without exceeding the 60 inch overall target lengthfor the motor-wateriet system. This dimensional flexibilityenables many sources to supply a suitable motor and provides thesignificant advantage of competitive procurement.
The manufacturing cost of the reflex jet compares favorably withmore conventional designs. The compact configuration requiresless material. The favorable velocity distribution at theimpeller inlet avoids the need for the complex inducer type ofimpeller. The simple mixed flow impeller is much easier toproduce. The motor is not exposed to pump output pressure,minimizing seal cost and potential failures of a high speed,high pressure seal. The difficult problem of providing andsealing passages to an internal motor for the electrical powersupply is completely avoided. The modular construction of themotor/reduction gear/impeller assembly significantly facilitatesboth manufacturing and maintenance.
4.1.5 INTEGRATION WITH THE VEHICLE
The reflex wateriet can be mounted directly to the transom flapas shown in figure 1. As noted in section 4.1.4, there is areasonable degree of flexibility in the proportions of thereflex wateriet. A Phase 2 study should include a coordinatedeffort with the vehicle manufacturers to achieve the bestintegration of the transom flap system with the wateriet.
The wateriets are required to provide tie moments to steer andcontrol the vehicles motion at the higher speeds when themaneuvering jets are ineffective. There are three potential waysto do this. It can be done by differential motor (and impeller)speeds, by individual nozzle jet deflectors or by swiveling ajet that is mounted on vertical trunnions.
The differential motor speeds is probably the best and lightestsolution for the AAAV. It adds no mechanical components. Theelectronic controls for land mode operation have the variablespeed capability that is necessary to provide this control forthe waterjet motors. This is increased possibility of waterietcavitation at low speeds when much of the total power might bedelivered to only two of the jets, but at those speeds theyprimary steering control is from the maneuvering jets. Thesteering moment with this type of control is greatest withwidely spaced jets.
The use of individual nozzle deflectors produces a complexmechanical design. It offers the advantage of redundant controlsystems in case of damage or failure. This system does notimpose added requirements on the electric controls and does notincrease the possibility of cavitation.
FINAL REPORT, April 26, 1991, Page 15
Jets mounted on a vertical trunnion as shown in figure 2 providea relatively simple steering arrangement. Such steering has beenused on prior reflex waterjets. It was found to provide verypositive steering and the energy to control the system was verylow. There would be a minor loss of effective transom flap area.
A further optimization of the AAAV transom flap might beachieved by use of a reflex style wateriet for the maneuveringjets. The general configuration of a reflex maneuvering jetwould be similar to the HPM waterjet shown in Appendix A, REFLEXJET, October 10, 1990, Pages 15 & 16 of 22. For the maneuveringjet application, the nozzle assembly would be rotated 90 degreesto place the two discharge nozzles almost tangent to the hullsides. Steering and reverse would be achieved by means of thedeflection plate and reverse port as illustrated. Improvement inthe maneuvering jet performance would result from a lessrestricted inlet condition behind, rather than above the uppertrack chord and from the greater moment arm between the waterjetnozzles. The greatest advantage would result from the widertransom flap made possible by the greater distance between thedischarge from the left and right maneuvering jets. This addedwidth would permit a troop walkway between the jets as shown infigure 3.
5. TESTS
5.1 No tests were conducted as a part of this program.
5.2 Extensive use was made of the data base developed from
prior tests.
The first series of tests was made with the Series #1 prototypesillustrated in Appendix A, REFLEX JET, October 10, 1990, Pages 3& 4 of 22. This series of jets were of a 195 mm (7.68 inch)diameter. Three prototypes were built. One was bench tested forstatic thrust and durability. The second was installed andtested in the illustrated Sidewinder hull. Tests included freerunning performance, pressures, flows, inlet losses andcavitation characteristics.
The second series of tests was made with the Series #2prototypes illustrated in Appendix A, REFLEX JET, October 10,1990, pages 5, 6, & 7 of 22. The three prototypes were installedin a Sea Ray 190, a Sportline 16 and a Glastron SRV174. The SeaRay was tested for thrust, flow, losses, free runningperformance and durability. The Sportline was tested for thrust,flow, losses and free running performance. The Glastron wastested for free running performance and durability.
Approximately fifty production units of the Series #2 designwere manufactured, sold and installed in various boats. Data wasgathered from a few of these installations. Performance wasgenerally comparable to propeller installations. Very few spareparts have been required to support these units.
FINAL REPORT, April 26, 1991, Page 16
The tested units were approximately one-half the size of theproposed waterjet for the AAAV. As such, the test data replacesmuch of the data that would be obtained from the half sizeprototype frequently incorporated in larger wateriet programs.
*Program risk is greatly reduced by this relevant experience anddata. The would be a minimal gain from additional half sizeprototypes in the AAAV program, therefor proceeding directly toa full size prototype is recommended.
6. SUMMARY
6.1 MEETS GOALS
The Reflex Waterjet is an attractive alternative to conventionalwateriets for the AAAV. The thrust performance can equal thebest conventional waterjets. The rear water inlet locationappears to have a beneficial effect on hull performance. Theunit is very short. The noise signature should be low because ofthe simple impeller, high cavitation margin and no direct soundradiation paths from the impeller blade tips to the outsidewater. There are trade offs in length, width and height that canbe used to optimize the reflex wateriet for specificapplications. Weight goals are met with conventional materialsand further weight reductions could be realized by use ofalternative materials like composites for the intake elbow andsilicon carbide aluminum for the impeller.
6.2 LOW TECHNICAL RISK
The data gathered from the extensive tests and experience withreflex jets about one half the size that would be needed for theAAAV greatly reduces program risk. Engineering tests, hundredsof hours of durability tests and practical experience withcommercial users minimizes the technical risk associated withthe development of the reflex jet for the AAAV application.
6.3 MAINTAINABLE
The modular construction of the motor, reduction gear andimpeller assembly greatly facilitates maintenance. These mainmaintenance items are readily accessible for repair orreplacement. Simple, conventional construction avoids the needfor many special tools.
6.4 AFFORDABLE
Since the design goals can be met with conventional constructionand materials, costs will be minimized. A further significantcost reduction can be anticipated from the potential to havemultiple competitive sources for the motor. Tests have shownthat an expensive inducer impeller is not required for thereflex jet, therefor a much less expensive mixed flow impellerwill be used. Extensive experience with smaller similar unitswill minimize development cost. The costly fabrication and testof a half scale model appears unnecessary. The funding thatmight otherwise be used for the half scale model, could be
FINAL REPORT, April 26, 1991, Page 17
invested in a complete set of the non standard parts to supportthe test program. This ample supply of spares would minimize therisk of expensive delays during the test program.
7. CONCLUSION
7.1 The reflex jet is an attractive alternative for theAAAV water propulsion system.
The Reflex Jet meets the requirements for water propulsion ofthe AAAV in a compact, light weight package that combines lowtechnical risk, easy maintainability and affordability. Theunique configuration offers a potential system performanceadvantage by avoiding the losses associated with conventionalwateriet inlet located in the primary hydrodynamic lifting areaof the hull.
The use of reflex maneuvering jets in combination with thereflex propulsion jet offers an opportunity to use a widertransom flap that could incorporate a troop walkway between thewaterjets. This arrangement would provide improved combateffectiveness by partially protecting troops from enemy fire andby speeding their entry and egress.
8. RECOMMENDATIONS
8.1 Proceed with a phase 2 program to build and test aprototype reflex waterjet.
Key factors of this program should include:
A. Close coordination of the reflex water design with thetransom flap assembly design and development toimprove over water performance and combateffectiveness.
B. Use of existing data base to avoid the need for halfscale prototypes and tests.
C. Obtaining a complete set of non standard spare partsto assure that the test program remains on scheduleand budget.

NOTE: The above curve illustrates losses as related to the* amount of curvature in an elbow. It shows losses to be high at
the beginning of the turn, but less for each increment ofcurvature. Reference data is for 0 to 90 degrees, but it appearsreasonable that the slope of the curve will continue to decreasewith added curvature. A reversed turn, like some waterjetinlets,should have higher losses in the second turn.
