Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fluid machinery technology, and in particular to a flow control method based on a tri-curved fish-scale biomimetic structure and an impeller blade having the same structure. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the deepening of human exploration of nature, biomimetic surface drag reduction and noise reduction technology has developed rapidly and been widely applied. Among them, fish, due to their speed and stealth in water, have become an important research object in biomimetic drag reduction and noise reduction. The reason why fish have the characteristics of fast and flexible swimming is closely related to the surface structure of various regions of their body, which can improve the fluid structure and flow state of the turbulent boundary layer, thereby effectively reducing water resistance and achieving extremely high swimming speeds. Therefore, this patent proposes a flow control method based on a tri-curved fish scale biomimetic structure and an impeller blade with it. Based on the flow control of biomimetic surface structure couplers, the flow characteristics of the blade surface are improved, the flow resistance is reduced, and the noise generation is reduced.

Fish scale area g with multiple fish scale biomimetic structural couplers are set on suction surface e and pressure surface f.

[0006] S2. The design and construction of a single fish-scale biomimetic structural element includes a bottom surface that adheres to the blade surface and a top surface with a fish-scale structure. The top surface includes two sets of parallel folded surfaces, each set consisting of three connected quadrilateral faces. The front side length of the bottom surface is l. f =2w, the midpoint of the front side (the front end point of the bottom surface) O is defined as the front end point of the fish scale bionic structure coupler. A spatial rectangular coordinate system is established with point O as the origin, and the fish scale bionic structure coupler is constructed in the spatial rectangular coordinate system.

[0007] S3. Establish multiple fish scale biomimetic structure arrangement rules, and construct the overall fish scale biomimetic structure by arranging multiple fish scale biomimetic structure couplers in each fish scale area according to the arrangement rules.

[0008] This invention, based on the control of flow through biomimetic structures, can improve the fluid flow characteristics on the blade surface and reduce noise generation.

[0059] In some embodiments, according to step S2, P n_jThe coordinates of (n = 1, 2; j = 1, 2, 3, ..., 6, 7, 8) are determined. Since the feature is symmetrical with respect to the xz plane, the coordinates of each point are as follows:

[0075] S31. Flatten the suction surface e or the pressure surface f, keeping each fish scale area g in a flat state;

[0076] S32. Establish a Cartesian coordinate system with the first complete fish scale biomimetic structural element closest to the leaf root d in the first row as the origin, and denote the first endpoint of each fish scale biomimetic structural element as O. i,j Where i represents the row number, j represents the row inner element number, and O i,j = (x, y), where the coordinates x and y are respectively:

[0079]

[0080] In some embodiments, it can be understood that the arrangement of the fish scale biomimetic structural coupler in the flattened state of the fish scale region g is only a arrangement rule and does not mean that the fish scale region g must be a flat plane. The impeller blade itself can have a certain curvature, that is, the surface of the fish scale region g can also have a certain curvature, rather than being flat. However, the arrangement of the fish scale region g in the flattened state still conforms to the above-mentioned rules for the arrangement of multiple fish scale biomimetic structures.

[0081] In some embodiments, the coverage area of ​​the fish-scale region is designed such that the length of the fish-scale region g along the flow direction accounts for 20%-80% of the total blade length, and the width of the fish-scale region g is set to be equal to the blade width. This ensures that the fish-scale region g has sufficient coverage area on the blade surface to achieve the technical effects of improving the fluid flow characteristics of the blade surface and reducing noise.

[0082] The present invention also provides a three-curved fish-scale biomimetic structure coupler fabricated using the flow control method described above, including a bottom surface that fits the blade surface, a top surface with a fish-scale structure, and a rear cylindrical surface;

[0083] The top surface includes two sets of parallel folds, each set of folds being composed of three quadrilateral faces connected together;

[0084] The rear cylindrical surface is a decagonal surface formed by the intersection of a spatial cylindrical surface created by a generatrix composed of an arc and tangents emanating from its two endpoints, and the first set of folded surfaces and the second set of folded surfaces.

[0085] The base is hexagonal, with one side being an arc and the other five sides being straight lines.

[0086] The present invention also provides a biomimetic impeller blade made using the above-described three-curved fish scale biomimetic structural coupler, including a leading edge a, a trailing edge b, a top edge c, a root d, a suction surface e and a pressure surface f on both sides of the blade body, and fish scale areas g with multiple fish scale biomimetic structural couplers arranged in a regular pattern on both the suction surface e and the pressure surface f.

[0087] In some embodiments, the length of the fish-scale region g along the flow direction accounts for 20%-80% of the total blade length, and the width of the fish-scale region g is set to be equal to the blade width. This ensures that the fish-scale region g has sufficient coverage area on the blade surface to achieve the technical effects of improving the fluid flow characteristics of the blade surface and reducing noise.

[0088] In some embodiments, the thickness δ of the trailing edge b of the blade ranges from 1 to 50 mm, and the length k of the trailing edge b of the blade ranges from 1 to 50 mm.

[0089] The present invention also provides an impeller made using the biomimetic impeller blades described in any of the above claims, comprising an impeller body, wherein a plurality of biomimetic impeller blades are provided on the impeller body, and the number of biomimetic impeller blades is set to 3-20.
