Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pipeline fluid-solid coupling, in particular to a method for predicting fluid-solid coupling of a liquid-filled pipeline based on a wave function method within a frequency domain. Background Art
[0002] Liquid-filled pipelines are common in fuel and cooling systems on ships and aircraft. Vibration noise from mechanical equipment such as pumps and valves can propagate along the pipe walls. Excessive, long-term vibration and noise can cause fatigue damage to both the equipment and the pipelines. Therefore, to prevent resonance between the piping system's natural frequency and the equipment's excitation frequency, a prediction of fluid-structure interaction is necessary during the piping system design phase for reference by piping designers.
[0003] Common methods for existing pipeline calculations include Anasys and Abaqus. Both are based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) to simulate and analyze complex engineering problems. They discretize continuous physical regions into a finite number of units and predict and analyze the performance of the entire structure or system by solving the interactions between the units. Users can choose the appropriate software based on project requirements. Both provide users with accurate and efficient analysis tools to assist in product development and optimization. Traditional pipeline vibration and noise calculations require a lot of manual experience and require remodeling for different pipeline models. This is cumbersome, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has low accuracy.
[0004] To this end, we propose a fluid-solid coupling prediction method for liquid-filled pipelines based on the wave function method in the frequency domain. Summary of the Invention

The general solution of the above-mentioned changed equation is written as a superposition of homogeneous and non-homogeneous parts. The solution method includes three directions: axial vibration, lateral vibration, and torsional vibration of the pipeline. Through the present invention, rapid prediction of fluid-solid coupling of liquid-filled pipelines can be achieved through programming, and the prediction evaluation results can provide a reference for the design of vibration and noise reduction of related pipelines.
[0048] In this embodiment, the axial vibration equation of the liquid-filled straight tube is:
[0049]
[0050] Where f z is the axial force on the pipe wall, u z is the axial displacement of the tube wall, u f is the axial displacement of the fluid in the pipe, and p is the acoustic pressure of the fluid in the pipe.

[0055] In the above formula, is the dimensionless wave number. For simplicity and clarity, the “~” symbol above the dimensionless quantity is omitted below. The solution of the above system of equations contains homogeneous and inhomogeneous parts. The homogeneous solution is the eigenvector at different frequencies, corresponding to the characteristic wave number. To align the equation, move the term containing the wave number to the right side of the equal sign and leave the rest on the left side of the equal sign to obtain the characteristic equation
[0056]
[0057] The above equation (4) is a generalized eigenvalue problem. Solving this problem can obtain the eigenvalue and the corresponding eigenvector. The homogeneous solution of the pipeline axial vibration is:

[0075]
[0076] The same method can be used to obtain the solution of the pipeline in the yoz plane. Since the equations of motion in the yoz plane are different from those in the xoz plane in terms of signs, the wave numbers and eigenvectors obtained are different. Therefore, the general solution in the yoz plane is expressed as
[0077]
[0078] According to the torsional vibration equation of the pipeline, the non-homogeneous equation and characteristic equation after Fourier transformation can be directly written
[0079]
[0080]
[0081] In the above formula, Combining the solutions of the above two equations, we can get the general solution of the differential equation as follows:
[0082]
[0083] Combining the above solutions, we can get the total wave function solution of the straight tube. The homogeneous part and the inhomogeneous part of the solution are the superposition of 14 and 7 wave components respectively.

[0087] The liquid-filled straight pipe has a total of 6 structural displacement degrees of freedom and 1 acoustic pressure degree of freedom. The vector v is transformed to be divided into two groups, one of which is the variables corresponding to the 7 degrees of freedom, and the other is the corresponding derived variables. The two groups of variables are sorted in a certain order to obtain
