Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of water conservancy and hydropower water conveying system engineering, and particularly relates to a one-dimensional water conveying system and three-dimensional reservoir hydraulic transient joint simulation calculation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to ensure the safe and stable operation of large-scale hydropower engineering and water resource allocation engineering, the hydraulic characteristics of long-distance complex water conveying systems in transient processes need to be studied. Since the dimension of the water conveying pipeline in the length direction is much larger than that in the other two directions, the transient flow of the pipeline is often reduced in dimension during calculation, and is simplified as one-dimensional flow. Meanwhile, other hydraulic elements in the water conveying system, such as reservoirs and surge towers, are also simplified. Common one-dimensional transient flow calculation methods include the difference method, the characteristic line method and the water sound model method. Among them, the characteristic line method has been widely used in the field of transient flow engineering. The one-dimensional calculation method reduces the difficulty of solving, and makes the solving efficient and fast. However, there are also problems such as excessive simplification of reservoirs and other hydraulic elements, and inability to obtain multi-dimensional flow characteristics.

[0003] The three-dimensional CFD simulation technology that has been widely used at present provides an effective means for accurately simulating reservoirs and other hydraulic elements and deeply understanding the hydraulic evolution law of the reservoirs. In recent years, by using CFD numerical simulation, the three-dimensional flow pattern of the reservoir and the inlet / outlet, the wall-attached vortex, the suction vortex, the flow velocity non-uniformity, the uneven distribution of flow, the hydraulic loss and other hydraulic characteristics have been deeply studied. However, the three-dimensional CFD simulation calculation is time-consuming and requires a large amount of computing resources, so it is difficult to realize the simulation of the entire water conveying system by using the three-dimensional CFD method.

[0004] Compared with the pure one-dimensional or pure three-dimensional calculation method, the one-dimensional-three-dimensional coupling method combines the advantages of both methods, and can complete relatively complex simulation tasks. During the operation of the water conveying system, the working condition conversion such as starting, stopping and state adjustment often occurs, and the flow pattern in the water conveying pipeline, the unit and the reservoir will change dramatically. At present, the three-dimensional transient flow of the unit section and the one-dimensional transient flow of the pipeline system are coupled and calculated, and some scholars have studied the time step, the range of the three-dimensional calculation model, the selection of the coupling interface and the data transmission mode. However, there is little research on the one-dimensional water conveying system and three-dimensional reservoir hydraulic transient joint simulation calculation.

[0005] The complexity of reservoir structure makes it difficult for traditional one-dimensional calculation method to accurately simulate the water level variation and predict the complex hydraulic phenomena of the reservoir. With the complication and large-scale of the water delivery system, it is necessary to study the three-dimensional flow characteristics of the reservoir in transient process, understand the evolution law of the reservoir flow pattern under the action of transient flow and avoid unstable flow phenomenon. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a one-dimensional and three-dimensional combined hydraulic transient simulation method, make full use of the advantages of one-dimensional calculation and three-dimensional calculation, carry out the research on the hydraulic characteristics of the reservoir and provide guidance and reference for the design and operation of the water delivery system.

[0023] (4) Determine whether |P 1D -P 3D |<ε is true, where ε is the iteration tolerance rate, if true, the initial value calculation is completed, otherwise proceed to the next step;

[0024] (5) Read the interface flow Q 1D Stored in the database using the UDF function of the three-dimensional calculation program, and perform three-dimensional flow field calculation with Q 1D As the boundary condition of the interface;

[0025] (6) Repeat steps (2)-(5) until the calculation is completed.

[0026] As a further preferred solution, in step five, assuming the last time T=(k-1)Δt 1d After the calculation, the current time calculation steps are as follows:

[0027] (1) Given the current time T=kΔt 1d ;

[0028] (2) The calculation results of the last time are used as boundary conditions, and the one-dimensional calculation program calculates one time step, i.e., the kth step calculation;

[0029] (3) The one-dimensional calculation program stores the flow Q 1D (k) and the pressure P 1D (k) on the interface in the database;

[0030] (4) The UDF function of the three-dimensional calculation program reads the interface flow Q 1D (k) stored in the database, and uses Q 1D (k) as the interface boundary condition, and the three-dimensional calculation program performs the kth step three-dimensional flow field calculation, and stores the flow Q 3D (k) and the pressure P 3D (k) on the interface in the database;

[0031] (5) The one-dimensional calculation program accesses the database and reads the pressure P 3D (k) on the interface;

[0032] (6) Determine whether |P 1D (k)-P 3D (k)|<ε is established, wherein ε is the iteration tolerance rate, if yes, the current time calculation is completed, and the next time calculation is performed, otherwise, step (7) is entered;

[0033] (7) The one-dimensional calculation program calculates one time step with P 3D (k) as the boundary condition;

[0034] (8) Steps (3)-(7) are repeated until the current time calculation is completed.
