However, in the step of meshing the model, the quality of the meshing also directly affects the calculation accuracy of the simulation. For example, if the quality of the mesh generation is not good, it may lead to the inability to capture the detailed features of the flow field (such as eddy currents, boundary layer separation, etc.), thereby affecting the accuracy of the noise simulation prediction. Therefore, how to improve the accuracy of the noise simulation prediction from the level of mesh generation is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0022] Embodiment 1 See also Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for simulating and predicting the operating noise of a multi-blade centrifugal fan, which specifically includes the following steps: S1. Obtain geometric parameters of a multi-blade centrifugal fan and construct a three-dimensional model of the fan; S2. generating an initial surface mesh for the wind turbine three-dimensional model, wherein the initial surface mesh is an unstructured mesh; S3, generating a boundary layer mesh based on an initial surface mesh of a near-wall region in the three-dimensional model of the wind turbine; S4. The large eddy simulation technology is used to simulate and predict the operation noise of the three-dimensional wind turbine model after meshing to obtain the simulated noise spectrum.
[0023] See also Figure 2 As shown, step S3, generating a boundary layer mesh based on the initial surface mesh of the near-wall region in the three-dimensional model of the wind turbine, is specifically: T1, extracting the initial surface mesh of the near-wall area as the second surface mesh; T2, obtaining the local curvature of each surface mesh node of the second surface mesh by discrete quadratic surface fitting method; T3, obtaining the first boundary layer thickness of each surface mesh node, and correcting the local growth rate according to the local curvature of each surface mesh node; T4, determining the number of layers required for generating boundary layer meshes for each surface mesh node according to the first layer boundary layer thickness and local growth rate of each surface mesh node; T5. Analyze the thickness of each boundary layer of each surface grid node based on the local growth rate and the required number of layers of each surface grid node; T6. According to the required number of layers of each surface mesh node and the thickness of each boundary layer, each surface mesh node is stretched layer by layer along its normal direction to generate a prismatic layer mesh.
[0024] The purpose of meshing the three-dimensional model of the fan is to ensure that the subsequent large eddy simulation can capture key flow characteristics in the simulation prediction of the multi-blade centrifugal fan.
[0025] In the simulation prediction of the operating noise of a multi-blade centrifugal fan, the near-wall area (usually refers to a thin area close to the blade surface, volute surface and other solid walls, which is part of the turbulent boundary layer and is located near the wall) has a large flow gradient and involves boundary layer phenomena. The use of boundary layer meshes can ensure high resolution and accurately capture flow details.
[0026] In the existing meshing of models, volume meshes including boundary layers are usually generated directly through tools (such as ANSYS Meshing, snappyHexMesh, etc.). However, some near-wall areas usually have complex geometric shapes. Directly generated boundary layer meshes are prone to poor fit with the walls of these complex geometric shapes. The flow characteristics of the near-wall area have a great influence on the results. If the boundary layer mesh does not fit the wall well, it may cause numerical solution instability or difficulty in convergence. Therefore, this solution first generates an unstructured surface mesh that can well adapt to complex geometric shapes, effectively avoiding the boundary layer mesh generation problem caused by the complexity of wall geometry, and ensures its fit with the wall when generating the boundary layer mesh subsequently, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the simulation test.
[0027] The near-wall area may be calibrated manually.
[0028] Obtaining the local curvature of a grid node by discrete quadratic surface fitting belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0029] The method of obtaining the first boundary layer thickness of each surface grid node is specifically as follows: ; in, It is expressed as the first boundary layer thickness of the i-th surface mesh node, is represented by the preset dimensionless wall distance, Expressed as fluid kinematic viscosity, Expressed as the wall shear stress at the i-th surface mesh node, Expressed as fluid density.
[0030] In the simulation prediction of the operation noise of a multi-blade centrifugal fan, the above-mentioned fluid kinematic viscosity and fluid density are set according to the fluid required by the user in the simulation, and in the simulation prediction of the operation noise of a multi-blade centrifugal fan, the fluid is usually air.
[0031] The boundary layer is the area close to the wall where the fluid velocity gradually increases from zero to the mainstream velocity. The boundary layer flow characteristics are affected by many factors, including fluid properties (such as viscosity and density) and wall conditions (such as shear stress). Therefore, this scheme combines the wall shear stress, fluid viscosity, fluid density and dimensionless wall distance to obtain the first boundary layer thickness, which can fully reflect the flow characteristics while ensuring the applicability of the turbulence model, accurately capturing the flow details near the wall and avoiding overly dense or sparse grids.
[0032] The local growth rate is corrected according to the local curvature of each surface mesh node, specifically: , , ; in, It is expressed as the corrected local growth rate of the i-th surface mesh node, Expressed as the preset base growth rate, Expressed as the preset curvature attenuation coefficient, is expressed as the local curvature of the i-th surface mesh node, is the reference radius of curvature, It is expressed as the mean curvature, and I represents the number of surface mesh nodes of the second surface mesh.
[0033] The growth rate represents the exponential growth rate of the thickness of each layer of the boundary layer, which determines the distribution density and change trend of the grid when it expands outward from the surface of the object. In the existing boundary layer grid generation technology, the geometric curvature change is ignored, and the global fixed growth rate is directly adopted. All regions use the same layer thickness growth rule, which can easily lead to layer thickness mismatch problems in strong curvature areas (such as the leading edge of centrifugal fan blades and the tongue of the volute), which may lead to the inability to obtain sufficient resolution in these areas, and ultimately reduce the accuracy of noise simulation prediction structure.
[0034] This solution corrects the local curvature of each grid node to the corresponding local growth rate, obtains adapted growth rates in different places, dynamically suppresses the growth of layer thickness in high curvature areas, more accurately captures the flow details in strong curvature areas, and effectively improves the accuracy of simulation predictions.
[0035] The method of determining the number of required layers of boundary layer meshes generated by each surface mesh node according to the first layer boundary layer thickness and the local growth rate of each surface mesh node is specifically as follows: ; in, represents the number of layers required to generate the boundary layer mesh for the i-th surface mesh node, and H represents the preset total boundary layer thickness. If the value is not an integer, it is rounded up.
[0036] In boundary layer mesh generation, "number of layers" is a key parameter, which specifically refers to the number of mesh units extending outward from the surface of the object. These mesh units are arranged layer by layer to capture the flow characteristics in the boundary layer. If the number of layers is insufficient, the flow gradient in the boundary layer cannot be fully resolved, resulting in inaccurate calculation results. If the number of layers is too large, the required computing resources will increase, greatly affecting the simulation prediction efficiency. In the existing boundary layer mesh generation, the use of a global fixed number of layers is likely to lead to insufficient actual total thickness in high curvature areas or over-stretching in low curvature areas, seriously affecting the accuracy and efficiency of simulation prediction. This solution dynamically configures the number of layers for each surface mesh node according to the local growth rate of each surface mesh node, which can increase the number of layers in areas with higher curvature to cover the same total thickness, and reduce the number of layers in low curvature areas to avoid over-stretching, effectively improving the accuracy and efficiency of simulation prediction.
[0037] In some embodiments, step T4 further includes: Constraint verification is performed based on the required number of layers corresponding to each surface mesh node and the preset total boundary layer thickness to determine whether the following conditions are met: ; If not satisfied, the user is notified to readjust the preset basic growth rate and / or the preset curvature attenuation coefficient.
[0038] The analysis of the thickness of each boundary layer of each surface grid node is specifically as follows: ; in, Expressed as the thickness of the j-th boundary layer at the i-th surface mesh node.
[0039] For the subscript parameter j in the above formula, it should be noted that for each surface mesh node, the value range of the corresponding parameter j is 1 to the required number of layers of the corresponding surface mesh node. .
[0040] In some embodiments, an initial surface mesh is generated for the three-dimensional model of the wind turbine, which may be generated by a quadtree / octree method or a Delaunay triangulation algorithm.
