Automatically controlled circulating water tank for simulating instantaneous dam failure

Abstract

The invention belongs to hydraulic experiment model facilities, in particular to an automatic control circulating water tank for simulating instantaneous dam breaks, including a water tank, a gate, a water level control system and a gate lifting control system. The water level control system includes the water injection pipe, the water inlet pipe and the water guide pipe connected with the circulating water pump controlled by the industrial computer, and the water level gauge at the upstream of the gate and the water level at the downstream of the gate, respectively. water gauge. The gate lift control system includes a vertical rack set on the front of the gate plate and matched with the motor drive gear, and a lifting guide rail fixed on the guide rail on the water tank, and a pair of vertical guide bars set on the back of the gate plate. During the lifting process of the door panel, it is always matched with the vertical guide groove of the lifting guide rail. There is also an automatic air-drying device in the water tank downstream of the gate, which is convenient for the development of the dry bed experiment. The invention is stable, automatic and efficient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to hydraulic experiment model facilities, in particular to an automatic control circulating water tank for simulating instantaneous dam breaks. Background technique [0002] The method of obtaining instantaneous dam-breaking water by opening the gate instantly in a rectangular tank has been used in various fluid-solid coupling experiments, and the interaction between the instantaneous dam-breaking water and its downstream structures is often used to simulate tsunami landing, Natural phenomena such as waves on deck. In addition, the experimental research data of the movement of dam-break water in the dry bed and the lower surface of the wet bed are often used to test the accuracy of various fluid-solid coupling numerical models. The earliest research on dam-break water body can be traced back to 1892, when Ritter published an article discussing the free surface problem of rectangular dam-break water body moving on dry bed. In 195...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, there are many defects in the existing dam break tanks: (1) After the gate is opened, the liquid fills the entire tank. Before starting the next set of experiments, it is necessary to manually move the downstream liquid back to the upstream after the gate is closed. If it is a dry bed experiment, manual work is required It is time-consuming and labor-intensive to wipe the downstream water tank clean with a rag; (2) Due to the uncertainty of the peak value collected by the existing pressure sensor and the repeatability of the experiment, the general dam break experiment needs to be repeated hundreds or even thousands of times (such as L. Lobovský (2014)), the existing dam break tanks rely on manual repetition, which is extremely time-consuming; (3) In order to achieve the purpose of opening the gate instantly, the gate is generally opened by falling heavy objects, and the reset of the heavy objects is time-consuming and laborious. It is difficult to fall stably, which often leads to severe shaking of the whole device and affects the flow state; (4) the existing equipment is pulled by heavy objects when the gate is opened, and it is difficult to accurately control the opening speed of the gate
