Aiming at the problems of complex manufacturing processes for the structures such as axially inclined blades, closed circulating circles, and external flow channels for water inlets and outlets of traditional hydraulic retarders, a new structure of a hydraulic retarder with straight blades and a double circulating circle is proposed, which simplifies the manufacturing process. By establishing a mathematical model and using computational fluid dynamics technology for simulation and solution, the variation law of the braking torque of the retarder is obtained, and finally verified through bench tests. The results show that the variation law of the braking torque of the new hydraulic retarder is basically the same as that of the traditional hydraulic retarder. When the rotational speed of the retarder is 1,750 r/min, the braking torque can reach 1,490 N·m. The variation law of the numerical calculation and the experimental braking torque agrees well, with a maximum error of less than 12%, confirming the reliability of the theoretical calculation. Its braking performance can basically meet the vehicle's requirements for braking torque and braking stability.
