Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for predicting fatigue life of a water turbine runner based on multi-physical field coupling calculation, and belongs to the technical field of water turbine runners. Background Art

[0002] Currently, fatigue life prediction for turbine runners primarily relies on single-field simulations or empirical formulas. Traditional methods typically decouple the temperature field from the mechanical load field, simplify calculations through static thermodynamic assumptions, or perform life assessments based solely on material fatigue properties at room temperature. For example, some studies use the finite element method combined with linear cumulative damage theory to predict fatigue damage, but these studies do not fully consider the multi-field coupling effects of fluid, structure, and temperature. Furthermore, damage calculations for high-cycle fatigue and low-cycle fatigue are often treated separately, lacking a unified quantitative model for combined loads.

[0003] However, traditional methods for predicting the fatigue life of turbine runners have many limitations: first, the coupling effect of temperature and mechanical load is seriously neglected, resulting in significant deviations between the fatigue parameters of materials and actual complex working conditions in traditional SN curves and Coffin-Manson equations due to the lack of temperature correction; second, existing single physical field simulation technologies cannot accurately simulate the transient coupling characteristics of fluid-structure-temperature fields, and the residual convergence accuracy is insufficient, which seriously affects the calculation authenticity of the time-series stress / strain field; finally, the composite damage accumulation method is too rough, using simple linear superposition without considering the nonlinear effect of temperature on the damage evolution rate, resulting in significant errors in the remaining life prediction. These limitations jointly restrict the accuracy and engineering applicability of turbine runner fatigue life prediction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for predicting the fatigue life of a turbine runner based on multi-physics field coupling calculation. By iteratively solving multi-physics fields, temperature-corrected SN / Coffin-Manson equations, and integrating damage with the Miner criterion, and introducing Transformer to predict the full-operating life, the problem that traditional methods are difficult to quantify the coupled damage of turbine runner temperature and alternating load to predict the fatigue life of the turbine runner is solved.

[0056] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solution of the present invention, rather than limitations on the technical solution of the present invention. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0057] Example 1

[0061] Step 2: According to the operating condition data, based on the pre-built multi-physics field coupling model, iteratively solve the residual vector so that the residual approaches zero and outputs the time series results, which include temperature field, stress field, and strain field.

[0062] The present invention constructs a multi-physics field coupling model based on the Navier-Stokes equations, nonlinear elastic dynamics equations and energy equations, realizes bidirectional data transmission through dynamic mesh technology and thermal flow coupling algorithm, iteratively solves the residual vector until convergence, accurately captures the transient interaction effects of fluid-structure-temperature field, and generates high-fidelity time series field data, including temperature field, stress field and strain field.

[0063] Step 3: Perform finite element meshing according to the geometric structure of the turbine unit to obtain discretized runner units, and extract the vibration stress amplitude and strain time history of each runner unit based on the time series results.

[0064] The present invention uses the finite element method to discretize the wheel geometry into grids, combines time-series field data to perform harmonic response analysis, extracts the vibration stress amplitude and strain time history of each wheel unit, and provides a local refined load spectrum for fatigue damage calculation, overcoming the defect of traditional overall analysis method that ignores local stress concentration.

[0065] Step 4: Calculate high cycle fatigue damage based on the vibration stress amplitude and the temperature-corrected SN curve.

[0070] Step 7: Based on the total cumulative damage of each runner unit, a weighted calculation is performed by statistically analyzing critical damage and operating time to obtain the remaining life of the turbine unit. This method uses the Miner criterion to linearly superimpose high-cycle fatigue damage and low-cycle fatigue damage, and calculates the remaining life by weighting critical damage with operating time, achieving quantitative assessment of composite damage and dynamic life prediction.

[0071] Step 8: Construct a training dataset containing the historical operating parameters, historical remaining life, and time series results of the turbine unit, and train the Transformer network to generate the remaining life prediction curve of the unit under all operating conditions.

[0072] The present invention is based on the Transformer network training historical working condition-life mapping relationship, and uses its self-attention mechanism to capture the nonlinear correlation between time series field data such as temperature field mutations and stress cycle characteristics and remaining life, to generate a full working condition adaptive prediction curve, breaking through the working condition limitations of traditional empirical formulas.
