Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of fluid mechanics, and in particular relates to an evaluation method capable of measuring the uniformity of flow velocity change rate at a certain moment. Background Art
[0002] Flow field uniformity is of great significance in valves, cooling systems, denitrification systems, engines, wind tunnels, agricultural irrigation systems, and other fields. If the flow field in the cooling system is highly non-uniform, this will lead to inconsistent operating conditions in various parts of the cooling system, resulting in reduced cooling system efficiency. The uniformity of flue gas concentration in the catalyst layer of the denitrification system will also affect denitrification efficiency. To address this issue, a transient flow field uniformity evaluation method and measurement device are needed to comprehensively reflect the distribution characteristics and discreteness of the dynamic velocity change rate of the entire transient flow channel, providing a basis for mitigating or eliminating flow field non-uniformity.
[0003] In transient, unsteady flow fields, the velocity and rate of change of the fluid at each location within the flow field vary but conform to the laws of fluid mechanics. Therefore, the distribution of the rate of change of the fluid velocity at different locations within the flow field is an important evaluation criterion for flow field uniformity. Traditional flow field uniformity evaluation methods, however, primarily focus on the distribution of fluid velocity at each location at a given moment, or the discreteness of the velocity relative to the average velocity of the flow field, but lack an examination of velocity variations within the flow field.
[0004] The transient flow field uniformity measurement device sets up several monitoring points in the flow field, measures and records the velocity values at two time points before and after each monitoring point, divides the velocity difference by the time interval to obtain the velocity change rate, and uses the velocity change rate of each monitoring point as a sample to solve the standard deviation. Through subsequent mathematical conversion, an evaluation method for transient flow field uniformity is obtained. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main focus of traditional flow field uniformity evaluation methods is on the distribution of fluid velocity at each position in the flow field at a certain moment, or the discreteness between the flow velocity and the average flow velocity of the flow field, and there is a lack of examination of the change in flow field velocity. The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects in the prior art and provide a transient flow field uniformity evaluation method. The evaluation method can record the flow velocity at two time points before and after each monitoring point in the flow field, divide the flow velocity difference by the time interval to obtain the velocity change rate, and use the flow velocity change rate of each monitoring point as a sample to solve the standard deviation. The standard deviation is a measure of the degree of dispersion of the average value of a set of data. A larger standard deviation means that there is a large difference between most values and their average value; a smaller standard deviation means that these values are closer to the average value. Therefore, the present invention can achieve the evaluation of the uniformity of the flow velocity change rate at a certain moment through the standard deviation.

[0042] The present invention provides a transient flow field uniformity evaluation method, which can record the flow velocity at two time points before and after each monitoring point in the flow field, divide the flow velocity difference by the time interval to obtain the velocity change rate, and use the flow velocity change rate of each monitoring point as a sample to solve the standard deviation.
[0043] In order to facilitate the implementation of the above evaluation method, the present invention first designs a transient flow field uniformity measurement device. Figure 1As shown, the measuring device mainly includes a target flow channel 1, a fluid flow rate information recorder 2, a flow rate signal processor 3 and an external power supply 4. In actual application, the target flow channel 1 has different structures, boundary conditions and fluid media depending on the research object, and then different measurement point arrays are set for target flow channels 1 with different shapes. The measurement point array contains multiple measurement points, all of which should be located at the same section of the target flow channel 1, and a fluid flow rate information recorder 2 is set at each measurement point. The flow rate signal processor 3 is placed outside the target flow channel 1 and is connected to each fluid flow rate information recorder 2 through a data line for data transmission. The external power supply 4 is placed outside the target flow channel 1 and supplies power to the flow rate signal processor 3 and each fluid flow rate information recorder 2 through a power line.
[0044] In this embodiment, the fluid flow rate information recorder 2 adopts the following method: Figure 2 The structure shown mainly includes a pipe 5, a rotor 6, a rotor magnet 7 and a magnetic sensor 8. The pipe 5 is a structure with a gradually narrowing inlet, a cylindrical middle part and a gradually widening outlet, and a three-section continuous measuring flow channel is formed inside. A groove is provided at the top of the middle cylindrical section, and the rotor 6 is fixed in the groove by a rotating shaft. A number of blades are provided on the outer periphery of the rotor 6, and the blades do not interfere with the inner wall of the groove. Some of the blades located at the lower part of the rotor 6 extend out of the groove and are located in the measuring flow channel. Each blade is tilted to one side so that when the fluid flows through the pipe 5, the blades can be driven by the action of the fluid to drive the rotor 6 to rotate. A magnetic sensor 8 is also installed in the groove, and a rotor magnet 7 is provided at the outer end of a blade on the rotor 6. The magnetic sensor is fixed around the rotor to facilitate receiving the magnet periodic signal generated by the rotation of the rotor.
[0045] In this embodiment, the target flow channel is a sideways standard cylinder with an inner diameter of 1000 mm and an outer diameter of 1050 mm. The left side of the cylinder is the inlet, and the right side is the outlet. The fluid is liquid water. The inlet boundary condition is a pressure of 0.8 MPa, and the outlet boundary condition is a pressure of 0 MPa. The number of measurement points and fluid flow rate information recorders is 8, and the number of rotor blades is 8. The target flow channel is surrounded by openings, through which a data cable is inserted to connect the fluid flow rate information recorder to the flow rate signal processor. The target flow channel opening is sealed with packing, and the fluid flow rate information recorder is fixed in the fluid by a slender cylindrical support.
[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a method for evaluating the uniformity of a transient flow field using the above-mentioned measuring device, which is specifically as follows:
[0047] S1: Set n measurement points at the same section of the target flow channel 1, and each measurement point is numbered M i , where i∈[1,n], n>1.
[0048] In this embodiment, the number of measurement points n is 8, and each measurement point is numbered M1, M2, M3...M8. Then, a fluid flow rate information recorder is installed at each measurement point, such as Figure 1 The flow rate information recorders 2 installed at the measuring points M1, M2, M3…M8 are connected to the signal processor 3 and powered by the external power supply 4.
[0049] S2: Through numerical simulation method, the speed information N measured by each fluid flow rate information recorder 2 is obtained i and the flow velocity V i The relationship between:
[0050] V i =c i *N i
[0051] Where c i is the coefficient.
[0052] In this embodiment, the steps are as follows:
[0053] S21: Using three-dimensional modeling software to build a three-dimensional model of the fluid flow rate information recorder 2 and obtain a flow channel model.
[0054] S22: Import the flow channel model into the meshing software and perform meshing.
[0055] S23: Importing the meshed flow channel model into computational fluid dynamics software, and using the computational fluid dynamics software to simulate and obtain the rotational speed of the rotor 6 at different inlet flow rates.
[0056] S24: Divide the inlet flow rate by the corresponding rotor 6 speed to obtain the coefficient c i Then, the speed N of the flow rate information recorder is calculated by the following formula: i and coefficient c i Calculate the flow velocity V at this location i :
[0057] V i =c i *N i .
[0058] S3: Then, actual measurement is performed. First, the fluid flow rate information recorder 2 is used to measure the first flow rate information V of each measurement point. i1 The signal is transmitted to the signal processor 3 and recorded by the computer. Then after a time interval t (t value is determined by yourself), the second flow velocity information V of each measuring point is measured by the fluid flow velocity information recorder 2. i2 , the signal is passed to the signal processor 3 and recorded by a computer.
[0059] In this embodiment, the first flow rate information is V 11 、V 21 、V 31 …V 81 , the second flow rate information is V 12 、V 22 、V 32 …V 82 .
[0060] Then the fluid velocity change rate A at each measuring point is calculated using the following formula: i :
[0061] A i =(V i2 -V i1 ) / t.
[0062] S4: Calculate the average flow velocity of the fluid at the same section of the target flow channel 1 before and after the time interval t according to the following formula:
[0063] V m1 =(V 11 +V 21 +V 31 +…+V n1 ) / n
[0064] V m2 =(V 12 +V 22 +V 32 +…+V n2 ) / n
[0065] Where V m1 is the average velocity of the fluid at the section before time interval t, V m2 is the average flow velocity of the fluid at the section after time interval t.
[0066] S5: According to the following formula, the average flow rate change rate A of the fluid in the time interval t is obtained m :
[0067] A m =(V m1 -V m2 ) / t.
[0068] S6: The standard deviation S of the flow rate change rate at each measuring point is obtained according to the following formula:
[0069]
[0070] S7: Obtain the transient flow field uniformity TFU of the target flow channel 1 according to the following formula:
[0071] TFU=S / A m .
[0072] The method of the present invention records the flow velocity at two time points before and after each monitoring point in the flow field, divides the flow velocity difference by the time interval to obtain the velocity change rate, and uses the flow velocity change rate of each monitoring point as a sample to solve the standard deviation. This evaluation method can reflect the degree of deviation of the fluid flow velocity change rate at each position in the transient flow field from its average value, and can measure the uniformity of the flow velocity change rate of the flow field at a certain moment. The transient flow field uniformity measurement device includes a fluid flow velocity information recorder, a flow velocity signal processor, an external power supply, a test flow channel, and the like. When the fluid flows through the flow velocity information recorder, the fluid impact causes the rotor on the flow velocity information recorder to rotate, and the magnetic sensors around the rotor capture the rotation speed information of the magnet on the rotor. The information recorded by the flow velocity information recorder is transmitted to the flow velocity signal processor via a data line to obtain the flow velocity, providing a data source for calculating the transient flow field uniformity.
