Description

Technical Field

[0002] The CFD model is the computational fluid dynamics model. In underground buildings, the position of the heat source directly affects the temperature distribution and the flow field of thermosiphon ventilation. The thermosiphon ventilation in underground buildings often exhibits polymorphism, that is, under the same boundary conditions and geometric structures, due to the influence of factors such as initial conditions, heat source position and intensity, there will be multiple stable ventilation states. The existence of this phenomenon increases the difficulty of ventilation system design, and at the same time provides the possibility of optimizing the design. By using the simulation ability of the CFD model, the influence of different heat source positions inside the underground building on thermosiphon ventilation can be analyzed by simulating the ventilation states under different heat source positions, and further optimize the design and performance of the ventilation system.

[0063] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for purposes of illustration and description, and are not exhaustive or limit the present invention to the disclosed form. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific purposes.

[0064] The first embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a heat source location positioning system based on the CFD model, including a simulation analysis platform, which is communicatively connected to a data input and processing module, a geometric model construction module, a parameter setting module, a CFD simulation execution module, a polymorphism analysis module, a flow state prediction module, and a result display module. Among them, the modules are electrically connected to each other;

[0065] Data input and processing module, which is used to collect and process input data, including building geometric structure, heat source characteristics, and boundary conditions, to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the simulation and provide necessary basic data for subsequent modules. Based on building design drawings, on-site measurement data, and historical record data, collect input data of building geometric structure, heat source characteristics, and boundary conditions. Among them, the building geometric structure includes the size, shape, internal layout, and construction information of the building; the heat source characteristics include the location, intensity, type (such as equipment heat dissipation, human heat dissipation, etc.), and working time information of the heat source; the boundary conditions include outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction information. Conduct preliminary verification on the collected data, check whether the data is complete, accurate, and meets the simulation requirements, check whether there are logical errors in the building geometric structure data, whether the heat source characteristics data is within a reasonable range, and clean the data to process the problematic data found during the verification process. At the same time, standardize the data to ensure the consistency of data format and unit. Convert the format of the collected input data, and integrate data from different sources into a unified dataset to ensure the logical relationship and time consistency between the data. Convert the integrated data into a format acceptable to the CFD model, including generating geometric files for mesh generation and case files for simulation. Store the processed data in the database of the simulation analysis platform for subsequent modules to call and analyze. Establish a data management system to classify, index, and back up the stored data to ensure data security and accessibility;

[0066] The geometric model construction module constructs the geometric model of the underground building according to the input data, performs meshing, and performs mesh convergence analysis and time step independence verification, generates the calculation domain for CFD simulation, ensures the accuracy and calculation efficiency of CFD simulation, reduces truncation errors and calculation convergence problems, and uses the Geometry module (CFD pre-processing software) provided by ANSYS Fluent to create a preliminary geometric model of the underground building based on the collected building geometry input data (including the building's size, shape, internal layout and construction information). The preliminary geometric model of the underground building is refined to depict the complex structure and boundary conditions inside the building, including the main structure of the building, the location of local heat sources, and import and export channels, to ensure that all building features and internal structures are accurately reflected, and to verify whether the geometric model is consistent with the actual building and design drawings. Check whether the model has defects, such as overlapping surfaces, missing walls or other structural problems. After the geometric model is built, the geometric model is meshed to generate a grid system for CFD simulation. The quality of meshing directly affects the accuracy and computational efficiency of CFD simulation. Complex geometric structures in underground buildings and areas with drastic temperature changes require finer meshes to ensure that the detailed features of the flow field can be accurately captured. For key areas such as around heat sources, vents, and connecting channels, local encryption processing should be performed. In the process of meshing, pay attention to the shape, size, and direction of the mesh. In order to avoid large truncation errors in the calculation, use high-quality meshes (such as structured meshes, hexahedral meshes), and control the distortion and aspect ratio of the mesh. By gradually refining the mesh and comparing the simulation results under different mesh densities, the accuracy of the mesh can be judged. Whether the simulation results tend to be stable with the increase of grid density. If the changes of simulation results are within an acceptable range after the grid is encrypted to a certain extent, it is considered that the current grid density has reached convergence. Determine a grid density that can ensure simulation accuracy and has a reasonable calculation cost, set different time steps for simulation, and observe the changes of simulation results with time steps. If the changes of simulation results are very small after the time step is reduced to a certain extent, it is considered that the current time step setting is reasonable. Ensure that the selected time step can accurately capture the dynamic changes of physical phenomena and avoid numerical instability. After completing mesh division and verification , based on the grid division and boundary condition settings, generate the computational domain for CFD simulation, ensure that the computational domain completely covers the entire geometric model, including all the geometric structures and grid information of the underground building in the computational domain, and provide a basis for the subsequent boundary condition settings, initial condition settings, and simulation solution steps. Perform a pre-simulation before the formal simulation to check the physical rationality of the model and calculate the stability, adjust the simulation parameters to solve any convergence problems, and optimize the geometric model based on the results of the pre-simulation. The optimization includes adjusting the grid density and modifying the boundary conditions. The final geometric model and grid system are output to the CFD simulation execution module;

[0067] The parameter setting module is used to set the location, intensity, and distribution parameters of the heat source, simulate the heat pressure ventilation effect under different heat source configurations, analyze its impact on the flow state, and set the initial temperature, pressure conditions, and wall, inlet, and outlet boundary conditions of the simulation to ensure that the simulation process conforms to the actual situation and improve the reliability of the simulation results. According to the actual building situation, the exact location of the heat source is set and the simulation results are analyzed in ANSYS. In the Geometry module that comes with Fluent, mark the location of the heat source and mark the selected location as the heat source area. Based on the type of heat source, define the heat flux of the heat source in the material properties and set the distribution mode of the heat source, which are point heat source, line heat source, surface heat source, and the corresponding distribution density. Simulate the heat pressure ventilation effect under different heat source configurations, analyze the influence of heat source configuration on flow rate, flow direction and temperature distribution, set the initial temperature of the entire simulation area based on the temperature of the surrounding environment of the underground building, and set the initial pressure of the internal and external environments of the building at the beginning of the simulation. For natural ventilation simulation, set the static pressure. For open systems (such as underground buildings with inlet and outlet channels), set the static pressure of the inlet and outlet to the ambient pressure, and perform iterative calculations in the internal area. Set the wall of the underground building as a non-slip and adiabatic surface so that the wall does not participate in heat exchange and the fluid does not slide on the wall. For the inlet and outlet channels, set them as pressure inlets based on the simulation requirements. If natural ventilation is simulated, set the static pressure of the inlet to the ambient pressure. Set the boundary conditions when the air leaves the building, set the outlet channel to the pressure outlet, and set the static pressure to the ambient pressure.

[0068] CFD simulation execution module, which runs the CFD model to simulate the thermosiphon ventilation process in an underground building, generates detailed temperature and velocity distribution data to provide data support for analyzing the flow state. In the CFD software, load the verified geometric model and grid system, import the heat source position, intensity, distribution parameters, as well as boundary conditions and initial conditions defined in the parameter setting module, select the pressure-based solver and set the fluid properties, define the physical properties of air such as density, specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity, and select the fluid dynamics model to simulate the fluid behavior. Synchronously perform grid independence verification to ensure that the generated grid meets the grid independence requirements to guarantee the accuracy of the simulation results. Configure the time step, relaxation factor, and convergence criterion parameters of the pressure-based solver, start the pressure-based solver in the CFD software, perform iterative calculations, monitor the residual curve during the solution process, monitor the progress of the simulation and the usage of computing resources, calculate the metric value for convergence determination, detect whether there are problems of numerical instability and non-convergence until the convergence criterion is reached, collect the distribution data of the temperature and velocity physical quantities generated during the simulation process, and use the post-processing tool of the CFD software to view the temperature distribution map in the underground building, view the velocity vector map, analyze the flow state and direction of the fluid in the underground building, conduct a preliminary analysis of the simulation results, check whether there are abnormal or physically unrealistic data, and post-process the simulation results to extract the key data of the flow state and visualize the display;

When the value of C v is smaller, it indicates that the residual change is smaller and the simulation is closer to convergence. The value ranges of R i and R b,i are [0, +∞), where R i decreases as the number of iterations increases. The value range of ∈ is (0, 1], which is a pre-set threshold used to control the strictness of convergence. C v calculates the square root of the sum of the squares of the deviations of all monitored residuals from their respective reference values, giving a comprehensive convergence determination index. When C vWhen the value is lower than the set threshold ∈, it is considered that the solver has reached the convergence criterion. If C v If the value does not decrease or even increases after several consecutive iterations, it indicates numerical instability during the solution process. During the iteration process, it is necessary to monitor the residual curve in real time to see if it decreases as the number of iterations increases. If the residual curve shows an oscillating or increasing trend, it may be necessary to adjust the time step, relaxation factor, or recheck the physical model and boundary conditions;

[0077] Furthermore, the calculation expression of the flow state evaluation coefficient is:

[0078]

[0079] Where FE is the flow state evaluation coefficient, which is used to measure the overall change of flow state, T j is the temperature of the jth measurement point at a specific heat source location, T b is the reference temperature, is the initial temperature at the heat source position, ΔP j is the pressure change at the jth measurement point, P b is the reference pressure, the initial pressure of the system, V j is the velocity of the jth measurement point at a specific heat source position, V b is the reference velocity, is the initial velocity at the heat source position, m is the total number of measurement points, and the value range of FE is [0, +∞), where FE = 0 means no flow state change, and the larger the FE value, the more drastic the flow state change, T j , ΔP j , and V jThe value range depends on the actual measurement data. As the position of the heat source changes, the value of FE will vary according to the change in the flow state. The exponential function is used to measure the temperature change. The exponential function is very effective in capturing the non-linear characteristics of temperature change. When the temperature change is small, the value of the exponential function is close to 1 and the change is not obvious; when the temperature change is large, the value of the exponential function increases significantly, indicating a significant change in the flow state. By measuring the impact of pressure change on the flow state, the square is used to emphasize the impact of large pressure changes. By measuring the impact of velocity change on the flow state, the square is used to emphasize the impact of large velocity changes. The changes in temperature, pressure, and velocity are integrated through a summation function to form a flow state evaluation coefficient. Taking the square root converts the flow state evaluation coefficient into a unitless quantity for easy comparison and analysis;
