Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of multi-branch flow pipe, and particularly relates to a method for constructing an acoustic network of a pipe system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Multi-branch flow pipes have important application value and research significance in industrial gas transportation, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, and aerospace fields. The acoustic problems therein are diverse and complex. Sound waves propagate along different paths in the pipe system, producing multiple reflections. Reflections in the pipe can cause standing wave phenomena. Corners, branches and special components of the pipe can cause scattering, further causing polymorphic propagation of sound waves. Long-distance propagation inevitably causes attenuation of sound waves during propagation. The gas flow in the pipe affects the propagation characteristics of sound waves, and also induces flow-induced noise sources at special components. The interaction and coupling between multiple noise sources also affect the overall sound field distribution in the pipe.

[0003] Traditional classical pipe acoustics theory is based on too many ideal condition assumptions (such as no friction, uniform material and simple geometric shape, etc.), which is often quite different from the actual complex pipe situation, and does not consider the complex coupling effects of fluid and sound wave propagation.

[0004] Numerical simulation methods, such as finite element, can meet the prediction needs of the pipe flow field to some extent, but for industrial-level, large-scale and highly complex pipe systems, simulation requires a large amount of computing resources and time, which is not conducive to rapid design and optimization, and the flow-induced noise induced by special components cannot be accurately analyzed or numerically described.

[0005] Therefore, an accurate and fast complex pipe noise prediction method needs to be developed to lay a theoretical foundation for low-noise pipe system design. SUMMARY

[0017] Preferably, the one-port model is:

[0024] Since the sum of the volume flows of all the two-port component units connected to a node equals the total volume flow of the node, we obtain:

[0050] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0051] A method for constructing an acoustic network of a pipeline system, as shown in Figure 1 , specifically comprising the following steps:

[0052] Step S100, segmenting and discretizing a complex pipeline system to determine all component units of the pipeline system, the component units including a sound source end, nodes and middle section components, all sound source ends and middle section components being associated with each other through the nodes to form an acoustic network graph;

[0053] obtaining all acoustic characteristic data of the middle section components of the acoustic network graph, simplifying all discretized middle section components into two-port models, and the specific judgment standard is that a component unit capable of acting on the acoustic network through two ports is simplified into a two-port model, and component units such as straight pipes, variable cross-section pipes and valves can be represented as two ports, a total of M two-port component units are generated, numbered as m=1, 2, …M, and each component unit interacts with the entire pipeline network through two ports. The two ports are an inlet end and an outlet end, representing the direction of each port connection and the direction of acoustic mass flow. Each port has two state variables, which are the pressure amplitudes of the inlet and outlet ports, respectively. Each pressure amplitude is represented as:

[0054]

[0055] wherein p 1- and p 2- are the output pressure amplitudes of the inlet end and the outlet end, respectively, p 1+ and p 2+ are the input pressure amplitudes of the inlet end and the outlet end, respectively, and are passive and unknown variables. and are the self-noise pressure amplitudes of the inlet end and the outlet end, respectively, and flow out of the two ports, and are active known variables. mrepresents the scattering relation of pressure amplitude in two ports, i.e. transmission and reflection. There is a necessary passive part and a possible active part in the inlet and outlet ends.

[0056] In step S200, all acoustic characteristic data of the sound source end is obtained, and all discretized sound source ends are simplified into one-port models

[0057] One port means only containing one port and acting on the whole acoustic network through the single port, i.e. the sound source end. One port means an element, such as a power device or an exhaust end. Similar to two ports, one port is described by two state variables, but in this case they are pressure p and volume flow q. The pressure amplitude p n Two different models, constant pressure source and constant flow source, can be used for description.

[0058] The constant pressure source model is described as:

[0059]

[0060] The constant flow source model is described as:

[0061]

[0062] wherein is the constant pressure source (active part of one port), Z ns is the sound source acoustic impedance, q n is the volume flow, is the constant flow source. The combination of formula (2) and formula (3) obtains:

[0063]

[0064] In step S300, acoustic characteristic data of each node is obtained, the acoustic characteristic data including volume flow and cross-sectional area, each two-port model, one-port model and node is numbered, and then node scattering matrices including positive scattering matrices and negative scattering matrices are respectively established according to the volume flow and cross-sectional area of each node;

[0065] The node is the connection point of each component unit in the acoustic network, and can be connected with any number of one-port models and two-port models. The node determines how to divide the acoustic mass flow among the ports connected to the node.

[0066] Preferably, the specific acquisition method of the positive scattering matrix and the negative scattering matrix is that it is assumed that the inlet port and the outlet port of the node have the same total area. At this time, the volume flow q n is defined as:

[0067]

[0068] where p + is the input pressure amplitude of the two-port component unit, p - is the output pressure amplitude of the two-port component unit, the characteristic impedance Z = p0c / A; where c is the local sound speed, A is the cross-sectional area of the plane wave propagation, and p0is the medium density in the pipe.

[0069] Since the sum of the volume flow rates of all the two-port component units connected to a node equals the total volume flow rate of the node, we have:

[0070]

[0071] where There are m n two-port component units connected to node n, is the cross-sectional area of the two-port component unit m connected to node n, is the input pressure amplitude of the two-port component unit m connected to node n, is the output pressure amplitude of the two-port component unit m connected to node n; from equations (5) and (6) we have:

[0072]

[0073] Since the pressure is continuous at all nodes, we have:

[0074]

[0075] Equations (7) and (8) together give us:

[0076]

[0077] where is the input pressure amplitude of any two-port component unit connected to node n, is the output pressure amplitude of the same two-port component unit connected to node n.

[0078] Combining equations (7) and (9) gives us:

[0079]

[0080] In matrix form, we have:

[0081]

[0082] where and are the positive and negative scattering matrices of node n, respectively:

[0083]

[0084] and are the two-directional pressure amplitudes of the node n respectively, is the source strength of a port connected to the node.

[0085] Step S400, obtaining all two-directional pressure amplitudes of the two-port component units, and converting all two-directional pressure amplitudes of the two-port component units into a pressure matrix: the two-directional pressure amplitudes of the two-port component units are expressed as an acoustic network matrix a [2Mx1] matrix and a two-port sound source matrix where c represents that the matrix is a complete acoustic network matrix, s represents that it is a source strength in the two-port. cs represents that it is a source strength of the complete network.

[0086] Then a scattering matrix S of the two-port component units is constructed through the pressure matrix c , S c is a diagonal matrix with a dimension of [2Mx2M]. At this time, equation (11) is converted into a correlation matrix

[0087]

[0088] for describing the correlation of each pressure amplitude in the entire sound source network.

[0089] The one-port model does not need to construct a scattering matrix additionally due to its simple working principle.

[0090] Step S500, correlating all two-port pressure amplitudes with the node scattering matrix to construct a mapping matrix; according to all acoustic characteristic data of the one-port component units and the two-port component units, all two-port component units and one-port component units are correlated with each other through the mapping matrix to form a sound pressure scattering relationship matrix

[0091] In order to be able to connect all two-port component units to each other through the node, the method introduces a mapping matrix which contains the key information of whether the node n is connected to the two-port. The information in the mapping matrix also contains whether the node is an outlet or an inlet, and describes the relationship between the local pressure amplitude and the entire network pressure amplitude. The mapping matrix should satisfy:

[0092]

[0093] wherein, represents or The value of each position is 0 or 1, 1 if the node is connected to two ports, otherwise 0. At this time, It can be expressed as:

[0094]

[0095] The equation of all nodes is transformed into the sound pressure scattering relationship matrix:

[0096]

[0097] The above formula describes the sound pressure scattering relationship in the complete acoustic network, a total of 2M equations are formed. And Containing all the acoustic feature data from one-port component units and two-port component units, it can be calculated by understanding the geometry of the acoustic network body. Combined with formula (1), M two-port local scattering equations are constructed, forming another 2M equations, which can form 4M equations to obtain the p 1+ ,p 1- ,p 2+ ,p 2- At this time, the sound field solution of the entire complex pipeline system is completed.

[0098] As a specific embodiment, the following is described with a specific example:

[0099] 1) The complex pipeline system is divided, such as Figure 2 The pipeline system contains four sound source ends, four nodes, and five middle section "two-port" components, which can be simplified as Figure 3 The pipeline system acoustic network diagram;

[0100] For a two-port model, each element interacts with the entire pipeline network through two ports. The two ports are divided into inlet and outlet ends, representing the direction of each port connection and the direction of sound mass flow. Each port has two state variables, which are the pressure amplitude of the inlet and outlet ports, as shown in Figure 4 , where the output p 1- , p 2- and the input p 1+ , p 2+ are the pressure amplitudes in the pipe, which are passive terms and unknown variables. and are the source pressure amplitudes, which flow out of the two ports, and are active terms and known variables.

[0101] 2) Simplify the pipeline sound source end and outlet end as a "one-port" model. The acoustic feature data of the one-port model includes sound mass flow information, sound source intensity (unique to the sound source end), and port impedance. The one-port model is connected to a node, as shown in Figure 3 .

[0102] 3) Number each two-port model, one-port model and each node, get the positive scattering matrix and negative scattering matrix of each node. Establish the global sound pressure scattering relationship Global scattering matrix S c [2Mx2M] is a diagonal matrix, and the diagonal elements are S1, S2, …, S M ;

[0103] 4) Construct the node scattering matrix, to Figure 3 Take node three in as an example, its scattering matrix P 3 is as follows:

[0104]

[0105] If the connection is an inlet end, the first number in the index is 1, and if it is an outlet end, it is 2. The second number describes which two-port is connected to. For example, p 2,5+ is the sound pressure amplitude from node (+), through the outlet end (2) and connected to two-port 5. The mapping matrix can be expressed as follows

[0106]

[0107] 6) Bring the node scattering matrix, global scattering matrix and mapping matrix into For a pipeline system containing M two-port elements, 4M equations are constructed at this time, and each two-port element corresponding p 1+ , p 1- , p 2+ , p 2- is solved, and the sound field of the pipeline system is solved.

[0108] Through the above design, the complex pipeline system is discretized into component units and connected in the form of nodes to form an acoustic network diagram. By using the acoustoelectric analogy mechanism, the scattering relationship between the sound pressure in a single pipeline and the global sound pressure in the system is constructed under the premise that the transfer matrix and the sound source characteristics of the component units are known, the mapping matrix between the global sound pressure of the pipeline system and each sound source is established, and the internal sound field of the pipeline is obtained. The defects of the classical pipeline acoustics theory and the numerical method are avoided, and a simple and effective means for rapid prediction of complex pipeline noise is provided.

[0109] Finally, it should be noted that: the drawings of the disclosed embodiments only involve the structures involved in the disclosed embodiments, other structures can refer to the usual design, and under the condition of no conflict, the same embodiments and different embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other;

[0110] Finally: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and not for limiting the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application, should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
