Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of engineering computational fluid dynamics, and in particular relates to a method for calculating turbulent diffusion force of rotating water-sand two-phase flow based on an adaptive scale ratio. Background Art

[0002] Rotating water-sand two-phase flow is a common engineering flow phenomenon in hydraulic machinery. It has a significant impact on the energy conversion characteristics, pressure pulsation characteristics, and abrasion characteristics of equipment such as turbines and pumps. Accurately predicting the characteristics of rotating water-sand two-phase flow fields is an engineering requirement for studying the internal flow characteristics of hydraulic machinery. Rotating turbulence in hydraulic machinery has the characteristics of strong transients and high pulsation. The turbulent diffusion behavior of heavy-grained sediment in it is an important factor affecting the interaction between water and sediment phases. However, existing methods generally model it as a diffusion term in the mass equation and use a constant diffusion coefficient calibrated for gas phase conditions. In actual applications, it is found that this approach often underestimates the turbulent diffusion capacity of heavy-grained sediment in water turbulence, which seriously affects the prediction accuracy of important distributions such as sediment concentration and abrasion rate. Therefore, there is currently a lack of turbulent diffusion force models that are directly applicable to rotating water-sand flow conditions. It is necessary to develop a new turbulent diffusion force calculation method to better serve the engineering calculation of hydraulic machinery. Summary of the invention

[0047] Step 5: According to the Stokes number S of the sand grain T Concentration C S Determine the group following factor m respectively f and coupling intensity factor m i ;

[0048] Step 6: Use the classic Favre turbulent diffusion force F in multiphase flow numerical calculation TD Based on the phase diffusion factor m d , phase turbulence factor m t , Group following factor m f and coupling intensity factor m i To determine the turbulent diffusion coefficient C required for rotating water-sand flow calculations TD , and the Favre turbulent diffusion force F TD The corrected rotating water-sand turbulent diffusion force F TD* After being added to the momentum equation in the form of a source term, it can be directly used for the numerical calculation of the rotating water-sand two-phase flow field in hydraulic machinery;

[0059]

[0060] Among them, f4 is the first turbulence constant and f5 is the second turbulence constant.

[0061] The group following factor m f It is derived from the following formula:

[0062] m f =1+f6·exp(f7·S Tmax )

[0063] Among them, S Tmax is the maximum Stokes number of sand particles in the computational domain, f6 is the first group following constant, and f7 is the second group following constant.

It should also be noted that in the actual calculation process, the order of each step can be appropriately adjusted according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0072] In this embodiment, high-quality hexahedral meshes are used to spatially discretize the computational domain, and the total number of meshes in the two examples is about 1.07 million. After the new method proposed in the present invention is introduced, the full implicit coupling solution technology is used for steady-state calculation. In addition, in order to better show the advantages of the new method, the prediction results of the existing method are also compared. Figure 2 The figure shows the relative concentration distribution of sediment along the water depth in the straight pipe example; Figure 4 The figure shows the comparison of the depth wear rate distribution of the outer wall along the flow direction in the elbow calculation example. It can be seen from the analysis that compared with the existing method, the prediction results of the new method proposed in the present invention are closer to the experimental values, that is, it can more accurately obtain the characteristics of the rotating water-sand flow field and is more suitable for the calculation of water-sand two-phase flow in hydraulic machinery.
