Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of canopy interior simulation technology, and in particular to a method and system for simulating airflow and droplet deposition within the canopy. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of sustainable agricultural development, pest and disease control has always been a focus of attention. Agricultural drones, as an important tool for pest and disease control, have gained widespread attention due to their flexibility and convenience, and have made new progress in pest and disease control. However, during drone application, the impact of the crop canopy on the downwash airflow of the rotor cannot be ignored. The downwash airflow carries droplets, affecting their spatial movement and adhesion and penetration within the canopy. Therefore, clarifying the airflow and its patterns during agricultural drone application of pesticides to fruit trees is crucial for assessing the deposition effect of droplets within the canopy, thereby enabling targeted improvements in the efficiency of drone application.
[0003] Currently, there are two main methods for simulating airflow patterns within the canopy using computational fluid dynamics (CFD): (1) Porous media – constructing virtual crops. Since the resistance of the crop canopy causes a loss of downwash flow, this method constructs a virtual crop model through geometric modeling. The entire computational domain is divided into structural meshes, and a virtual crop canopy is established in the structural mesh based on the actual measured relative position of the UAV and the crop. Then, the resistance of the flow field on the canopy is set in the porous media region through Fluent simulation. The main parameters are the inertial drag coefficient and the viscous drag coefficient. (2) Porous media – static porosity similarity method. This method is based on the inherent hierarchy and order formed by the fractal characteristics of crop morphology and structure. The crop population is abstracted into layers of porous media planes with different porosities. By combining enough planes with different optical porosities according to their height, the crop population under this porosity can be approximately described. Different static porosities are set to represent different crops or different growth forms of crops. By establishing and performing simulation calculations of UAV spray under different static porosities in CFD, the spatial distribution of droplets under different porosities can be obtained.
[0004] Because porous media only add an additional momentum loss to the momentum equation, their effect on turbulence is only approximate, leading to some distortion of the flow field. The airflow velocity and droplet deposition within the constructed virtual crop cannot be accurately measured, meaning they cannot reflect the turbulent distribution inside the crop after airflow passes through it in actual operations. Furthermore, the static porosity similarity method produces simulations that differ from actual operations, failing to accurately simulate the real situation. Therefore, existing technologies have low accuracy in simulating airflow and droplet deposition within the canopy, resulting in poor performance in targeted improvements to the efficiency of drone-based pesticide application.

[0049] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0050] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for simulating airflow and droplet deposition within the canopy, aiming to simulate airflow and droplet deposition within the canopy.
[0051] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0052] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a simulation method for airflow and droplet deposition within the canopy, provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment illustrates a method for simulating airflow and droplet deposition within a canopy. The method includes:
[0053] Step 101: Construct the UAV rotor source model and the fruit tree canopy model.
[0054] Step 102: Determine the rotation domain of the UAV rotor based on the UAV rotor source model.
[0055] Step 103: Determine the canopy domain of the fruit tree based on the fruit tree canopy model.
[0056] Step 104: Determine the computational domain based on the rotation domain and the canopy domain.
[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the computational domain encompasses both the rotational domain and the canopy domain. The projected area of the computational domain is 3 to 5 times the size of the projected area of the canopy domain, completely enclosing the rotational domain and placing the canopy domain at the center of the computational domain. The computational domain is typically set as a cuboid or cylinder, and its size needs to allow sufficient space for airflow development. Airflow flows within the defined computational domain, and theoretically, the larger the better. However, a larger computational domain requires more computational resources, so the waste of computational resources must also be considered.
[0058] Step 105: Construct a fluid geometry model based on the rotation domain, canopy domain, and computational domain.
[0059] Step 106: Mesh the fluid geometry model to obtain the fluid mesh model.
[0060] Step 107: Use Fluent software to set requirements for the fluid mesh model.
[0061] Step 107 specifically involves: using Fluent software, setting all surfaces in the computational domain except the bottom surface as pressure outlets, setting the bottom surface as a wall, setting the rotor speed of the UAV (1500rpm~3000rpm) according to the payload (5kg~15kg) of the UAV rotor source model, setting the center and direction of the rotation domain, establishing a discrete phase model of droplet motion, determining the nozzle position to be 0.1m~0.5m directly below the UAV rotor, the injection half-angle to be 10°~90°, the injection flow rate to be 0.005kg / s~0.02kg / s, the release time to be 0~10s, and the orifice width to be 0.0005~0.001, determining the turbulence model to be SSTk-ω, setting the solution method to double precision, and determining the iteration method to be coupled iteration.
[0062] For example, using Fluent software, the surfaces in the computational domain other than the bottom surface are set as pressure outlets, the bottom surface is set as a wall, the UAV rotor speed is set to 1500rpm~2500rpm, the center and direction of the rotation domain are set, a discrete phase model of droplet motion is established, the nozzle position is determined to be 0.25m directly below the UAV rotor, the spray half-angle is 55°, the spray flow rate is 0.00833kg / s, the release time is 0~10s, the orifice width is 0.0007, the turbulence model is determined to be SSTk-ω, the solution method is set to double precision, and the iteration mode is determined to be coupled iteration. The nozzle position can be adjusted according to the actual situation, within 0.1m~0.5m; the spray half-angle can be adjusted according to the actual situation, within 10°~90°; the spray flow rate can be adjusted according to the actual situation of the nozzle's water pump, within 0.005kg / s~0.02kg / s; and the orifice width can be adjusted according to the actual situation of the nozzle.
[0063] Specifically, the surfaces of the computational domain other than the bottom surface are set as pressure outlets (pressureoutlet in Fluent software), with an initial value of 0; the bottom surface is set as a wall (wall in Fluent software); the direction of the rotation domain is clockwise or counterclockwise, which can be set according to the actual situation of the rotor distribution.
[0064] Step 108: Mesh the canopy domain to obtain a solid mesh model.
[0065] Step 109: Using LS-DYNA software, convert the solid mesh model into a particle model and set the requirements.
[0066] Step 109 specifically involves: using LS-DYNA software to transform the region containing the solid mesh model into a particle model; setting particle parameters, including density, type, and size; setting the contact surface between the particles in the solid domain and the mesh in the fluid domain; setting the total number of particles and their generation rate; setting the particle generation method to dynamic particle generation; specifying that the amount of particles generated during simulation is the same as the number of meshes in the canopy domain; and setting the coupling interface between the outer wall and the fluid mesh model to fully analytical. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the particle model is Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, also known as the SPH model.
[0067] Specifically, according to the SPH particle parameter reference table, the density can be approximately obtained from the actual density of the canopy, and the type and size can be set according to the actual upper, middle and lower layers, and can be approximately obtained from the maturity and softness of the canopy leaves.
[0068] Step 110: Set the number of simulation steps, the time represented by each step, and the simulation termination conditions.
[0069] Specifically, settings can be configured according to the actual situation, such as setting a sufficiently long number of simulation steps to allow the simulation results to converge, for example, 4000 to 10000 steps, setting the time represented by each simulation step (for example, 0.001 seconds), and setting the simulation termination condition (i.e., the simulation residual convergence condition), which ends when the simulation residual is less than 0.00001.
[0070] Step 111: Repeat the simulation process until the simulation termination conditions are met, and output the simulation results of airflow and droplet deposition inside the canopy. The simulation process is as follows: solve the fluid mesh model results for one simulation step in the Fluent environment, and solve the particle model results for one simulation step in the LS-DYNA environment; exchange data between the fluid mesh model results and the solid mesh model results through the coupling interface.
[0071] As an optional implementation method, the process of establishing the UAV rotor source model specifically includes:
[0072] Obtain the structural parameters of the UAV rotor, including: outer diameter, pitch, thickness, and tilt angle.
[0073] A model of the UAV rotor source was established based on the structural parameters.
[0074] As an optional implementation method, the process of establishing a fruit tree canopy model specifically includes:
[0075] Obtain fruit tree parameters; fruit tree parameters include the lowest point of the canopy, the highest point of the canopy, the outer diameter of the canopy, and the canopy density.
[0076] Establish a fruit tree canopy model based on fruit tree parameters.
