Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for correcting signal distortion in pressure measuring pipelines on complex building surfaces during wind tunnel testing, and relates to the field of wind tunnel test data processing. Background Technology
[0002] Wind tunnel testing is one of the main methods for studying wind pressure on the surface of complex building structures, and pressure gauges are one of the main tools for measuring wind pressure. However, because the signal will be significantly distorted after passing through the pipeline system, the distortion of the pipeline signal will affect the average wind pressure, fluctuating wind pressure, energy spectrum, spatial correlation, and non-Gaussian properties of the building surface, making it impossible to accurately measure the wind pressure on the building surface.
[0003] Complex buildings, due to their varied shapes, require a greater number of pressure measurement holes than conventional buildings. Simultaneously, significant flow separation occurs at areas of substantial deformation in complex buildings. In these areas, pipe distortion amplifies or diminishes the wind pressure changes. The pipe distortion at large deformations differs from that at small deformations; therefore, it is necessary to employ special distortion correction methods at complex deformation sites.
[0004] The existing method corrects distortion using a fluid pipeline dissipation model. However, this approach only considers the characteristics of the pressure gauge itself, and the simple correction method is prone to producing erroneous results. Furthermore, using the same method for all measuring points increases the likelihood of incorrect corrections. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the existing methods only consider the characteristics of the pressure measuring tube itself, and the correction methods are simple and easy to produce erroneous correction results.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: a method for correcting signal distortion in pressure measuring pipelines on complex building surfaces during wind tunnel testing, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1. Create a building model, divide the area, and set measurement points;
[0008] S2. Determine the diameter of the pressure measuring tube at the measurement point in the wind tunnel test;
[0009] S3. Conduct wind tunnel tests and process the results to obtain the wind pressure time history;
[0010] S4. Filter the wind pressure time history;
[0011] S5. Correct the distorted pressure measurement pipeline signal to obtain the true signal time history.
[0012] In the above method, the area of a single region in step S1 accounts for 1% to 5% of the total building surface area, and the division principle can refer to the division principle of the building surface shape coefficient. The region with larger deformation is divided into Class II, and the region with smaller deformation is divided into Class I.
[0013] In step S2 of the above method, the internal radius of the pressure measuring tube is determined by laser measurement.
[0014] In the above method, step S2 uses a water injection method to determine the internal radius of the pressure measuring tube. The water injection method includes the following steps: a) selecting a pressure measuring tube of length L and drying it in a dryer, then measuring its mass as m1 using a test balance; b) immersing the pressure measuring tube in water until it is full, then removing it and wiping the water off the outer wall, and measuring its weight again as m2; c) calculating the internal radius of the pressure measuring tube as: Where ρ is the air density.
[0015] Furthermore, in the above method, at least 5 pressure measuring tubes are randomly selected from the pressure measuring tube sample for aperture measurement, and the average of the five aperture numbers is taken to obtain the internal radius of the experimental pressure measuring tube.
[0016] In step S3 of the above method, a wind tunnel test is conducted to obtain the test results, which are a series of electrical signal time histories. These need to be processed to obtain the wind pressure time histories. The formula used is as follows: C pi (t) is the pressure coefficient at time t at measuring point i, P i (t) represents the pressure acting at measuring point i, P0 and P ∞ These represent the total pressure and static pressure at the reference height, respectively.
[0017] In step S4 of the above method, an integer n is selected as the size of the filtering segment. When the amount of wind pressure time history data is less than 15,000, n = 4; when the amount of wind pressure time history data is greater than or equal to 15,000, n = 5. For each position t in the time series, the weighted value of n consecutive data points from t-n+1 to t is calculated. The weighted values are shown in the table below:
[0018] When n=4
[0019]
[0020] When n=5
[0021]
[0022] And when t = 1, 2, 3, 4,
[0023] C pi,move (t)=C pi (t).
[0024] Furthermore, the average value obtained in the above method becomes the value of the new time series at position t. After the calculation is completed once, the filter segment is moved forward by one data point, and the above calculation is repeated until the entire time series is covered.
[0025] Furthermore, in step S5 of the above method, a theoretical frequency response function is introduced to correct the distorted pressure measurement pipeline signal. The formula for solving the theoretical frequency response function H(w) is as follows:
[0026] Class I:
[0027]
[0028] Category II:

[0036] J0 and J2 are the zeroth and second order Bessel functions of the first kind, respectively;
[0037] sinh and cosh are hyperbolic sine and hyperbolic cosine functions, respectively;
[0038] w = 2πf is the angular frequency.
[0039] Furthermore, in step S5 of the above method, the distorted pressure measurement pipeline signal is corrected using a theoretical frequency response function to obtain the true signal time history C. p0 (t), the conversion formula is:
[0040]
[0041] In the formula, real represents taking the real part of the complex number, FFT is the Fast Fourier Transform, and IFFT is the Inverse Fast Fourier Transform.
[0042] The beneficial effects of this invention are: this method, through two filtering steps, can more accurately correct pipeline distortion problems that occur during pressure measurement, and also provides a suitable correction method for areas with large deformations in complex buildings. This method can effectively improve the accuracy of wind tunnel test data, and better support the development of production and scientific research. Attached Figure Description

[0049] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0050] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the method for correcting signal distortion in pressure measurement pipelines on complex building surfaces during wind tunnel testing according to the present invention includes the following steps:
[0051] S1. Create a building model, divide the area, and set measurement points;
[0052] S2. Determine the diameter of the pressure measuring tube at the measurement point in the wind tunnel test;
[0053] S3. Conduct wind tunnel tests and process the results to obtain the wind pressure time history;
[0054] S4. Filter the wind pressure time history;
[0055] S5. Correct the distorted pressure measurement pipeline signal to obtain the true signal time history. As those skilled in the art can understand, wind tunnel pressure measurement is a common method for studying the aerodynamic characteristics of a model. During the test, a pressure measurement pipe of a certain length is needed to connect the pressure measurement hole on the model surface to the pressure sensor. Therefore, the pressure signal obtained is not the true pressure on the model surface, but a distorted signal after interference from the pressure measurement pipe. The difference between the distorted signal and the true signal is mainly reflected in two aspects: (1) the signal energy (amplitude) is amplified or weakened; (2) the signal phase lags. Moreover, this difference will increase with the increase of the pressure measurement pipe length, and the pressure measurement pipe length in some large-scale pressure measurement tests has reached more than 2 meters, and the wind pressure signal will be severely distorted. For pressure measurement tests, the measured wind pressure signal is almost the basis for all subsequent data analysis, such as: obtaining the model's wind pressure coefficient, static three-component force coefficient, buffeting force spectrum, coherence function, etc. Therefore, before conducting a model wind tunnel pressure measurement test, it is necessary to first conduct a detailed study on the signal distortion problem of the pressure measurement pipeline and consider how to more accurately correct the distorted signal. Step S1 involves creating the required model and dividing the building surface into multiple regions. The number of regions can be several or dozens, depending on the actual complexity of the building. Since the diameter of pressure measuring tubes of the same specification may vary between different batches, the radius of each batch of pressure measuring tubes must be measured. Therefore, Step S2 involves on-site measurement to estimate the diameter of pressure measuring tubes within the same batch. Step S3 involves conducting wind tunnel tests to obtain the test results, which are a series of electrical signal time histories. These need to be processed to obtain the wind pressure time histories. Step S4 involves the first filtering of the wind pressure time histories. Step S5 introduces a theoretical frequency response function to correct the distorted pressure measuring tube signals and obtain the true signal time histories.
