Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fluid mechanical energy recovery, and in particular relates to a method for optimizing the design of guide vanes of a centrifugal pump reverse-operating hydraulic turbine. Background Art

[0002] ‌Hydraulic turbine is a device used to recover redundant energy in industrial production processes. It is widely used in high-pressure waste energy recovery systems in many process industries such as petrochemicals, steel and metallurgy. Usually, a centrifugal pump reverse turbine structure is used, but the hydraulic design of the centrifugal pump is completely designed according to the working parameters of its pumping condition. It is worth noting that the efficiency of the traditional centrifugal pump reverse hydraulic turbine is relatively low compared with the pumping condition, and there is a lack of design methods for optimizing the guide vanes. Therefore, the optimization design of the guide vanes of hydraulic turbines is an important topic. One of the important reasons why hydraulic turbines are inefficient under operating conditions that deviate from the design conditions is that the dynamic and static interference between the guide vanes and the impeller of the hydraulic turbine causes flow instability and reduces efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a guide vane optimization design method that reduces the dynamic and static interference between the guide vane and the impeller, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the efficiency of the hydraulic turbine. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a method for optimizing the guide vanes of a hydraulic turbine in a centrifugal pump in reverse operation. The guide vanes of the model hydraulic turbine are parameterized and expressions for the thickness and the mid-arc of the positive guide vanes are constructed to construct a proxy model. The parameters of the blade shape are then determined. The optimization goal is to reduce the dynamic and static interference between the guide vanes and the impeller to make the flow more stable. The optimization index is the efficiency of the hydraulic turbine, and ultimately the high-efficiency zone range of the hydraulic turbine is improved to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for optimizing the guide vane design of a centrifugal pump reverse hydraulic turbine, comprising the following steps: Step S1: perform three-dimensional modeling of the entire flow channel water body of the original model hydraulic turbine according to basic structural parameters, draw a calculation grid, and perform simulation to obtain the external characteristic results of the original guide vane; Step S2: parameterizing the positive guide vane of the original model guide vane, and constructing expressions for the thickness and the median camber of the positive guide vane; Step S3: construct a proxy model of the original model, and then determine the relevant parameters of the guide vane shape; Step S4: optimizing the positive guide vane parameters of the proxy model using an improved PSO algorithm, and obtaining an optimal parameter set of the proxy model; Step S5: updating the blade profile of the guide vane through the optimal parameter set of the proxy model; Step S6: For the new blade type, the optimized model parameters are used to model the three-dimensional water body of the entire flow channel, and a calculation grid is drawn for CFD simulation to determine whether the design goal is achieved by comparison with the original model. If not, the PSO algorithm is iteratively optimized for the impeller blades again until the design goal is achieved.

R(x) = ax 2 +bx+c Where a=f a (R m , R p ), b=f b (R m , R p ), c = f c (R m , R p ); S23: Construct the middle arc parameter expression: The middle arc is determined by y(x) using the cubic curve fitting method. Similarly, the middle arc can be converted into the relationship between the parameters and the coordinate X. y(x) = dx 3 + ex 2 +fx+g Where d = f d (α1, α2, φ), e=f e(α1, α2, φ), f=tan(α2π / 180), g=R; S24: Determine the factors affecting the blade shape: Perform Pearson coefficient correlation analysis on the blade parameterization to find the correlation.

[0006] Preferably, in step S3: Construct the approximate function of the surrogate model, evaluate the parameters, determine the relevant parameters, and the mathematical model is expressed as an equation: In the formula, y is the measured response, b0 is a constant, and b j , b jk and b jj is the regression coefficient, X j and X k are the coded values ​​of the independent factors.

[0007] Preferably, in step S4: The improved PSO optimization algorithm is used for global optimization to solve the parameters of the positive guide vane of the proxy model. First, the algorithm initializes a group of random particles, and then obtains the optimal solution through iteration. Assume that each group consists of M particles, X={x1, x2, …, x m}, where x i =[x i1 , x i2 , …, x im ], then the initial position and velocity of the ith particle can be expressed as k A vector of dimensions: In the formula, and are the position and velocity of the i-th particle in the hydraulic turbine hydraulic performance optimization process.
