Abstract In view of the non-uniform inflow during the operation of the water jet pump, the reasons for the non-uniform inflow were analyzed from the aspects of drive shaft disturbance, ship boundary layer thickness, and water inlet channel structure, and the inlet speed was compared with the IVR and ship sailing speed. On the impact of unevenness, the adverse effects of non-uniform inflow were summarized. When the inlet speed is higher than the IVR and ship speed, the unevenness of the inlet surface also increases, and the inlet quality gradually deteriorates. Under non-uniform inflow, there are radial velocity and pressure gradients on the inlet surface of the pump, causing the water jet pump instability such as backflow, secondary flow, and flow separation in the working process. The internal vortex disturbance replaces the system disturbance to cause stalling, resulting in energy dissipation. At the same time, blade load, cavitation volume distribution and pressure pulsation also show a high degree of non-uniformity. Based on the research status of non-uniform inflow at home and abroad in recent years, the content and direction of the non-uniform inflow of water jet pump are proposed.
