Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flow channel analysis, and in particular to a method and system for analyzing the flow channel of a water pump turbine. Background Art
[0002] Pump turbines are important equipment in water conservancy projects, power stations and industrial fields, and their performance directly affects the efficiency of water resource utilization and energy conversion efficiency. As a core component, the flow channel design of the pump turbine determines the flow characteristics of the fluid and the overall performance of the equipment. Efficient flow channel design can not only reduce energy loss, but also reduce vibration and noise during equipment operation, thereby extending the service life of the equipment. However, the flow environment inside the flow channel is extremely complex and is affected by multiple factors such as pressure, temperature, and flow rate. Traditional design methods are difficult to fully consider these complex multi-physical field factors. With the diversification and complexity of modern engineering needs, how to optimize the flow channel design through precise simulation technology and data analysis to improve the efficiency and reliability of pump turbines has become a key issue that the industry needs to solve urgently.
[0003] The existing pump-turbine flow channel design and analysis methods have the following major defects in practical applications: the complex motion characteristics of the fluid in the flow channel, including turbulence, flow separation and cavitation, are often difficult to accurately simulate through traditional calculation methods, resulting in insufficient accuracy and efficiency of design optimization; data acquisition and processing technology is not perfect, the sensor layout is limited, and the collected data may have large errors due to the lack of multi-source fusion and real-time calibration; fluid dynamics simulation is often a single physical field analysis, lacking comprehensive consideration of multi-physical field coupling effects (such as flow, heat conduction, stress, etc.), and it is difficult to fully reflect the actual operating state in the flow channel; most of the existing optimization methods rely on the traditional trial and error mode, with a long design cycle and high cost, and cannot meet the efficient design requirements of complex engineering systems; the existing flow channel optimization algorithm lacks intelligence, and the optimization process relies more on engineering experience, making it difficult to quickly respond to potential problems in the flow channel operation. At the same time, there are limited preventive measures for key problems such as cavitation and flow separation, and it is difficult to significantly improve the operating efficiency and reliability of the equipment. Therefore, we provide a pump-turbine flow channel analysis method and system. Summary of the invention

Combined with the dynamic simulation prediction function, it can detect possible problems in the flow channel (flow separation or cavitation) in advance, and optimize the flow channel geometry design through genetic algorithms to reduce pressure loss by 15% to 20%. The optimized design is visualized through virtual reality technology, so that engineers can intuitively understand the fluid flow characteristics and adjust design decisions based on real-time feedback. This function effectively improves the efficiency and accuracy of flow channel design and reduces potential operational risks.
