Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a hydraulic design method for a submarine drainage pipe passing under a waterway, and is applicable to the field of marine engineering. Background Art

[0002] The Darcy formula is currently widely used in hydraulic calculations for long-distance water pipelines. Its applicability is wider than that of the Scherz formula and the Hezen-Williams formula. Before using the Darcy formula, the value of the drag coefficient along the pipeline must be determined. For pipeline flow, the mainstream design approach abroad uses the Collebrook formula. This formula is applicable to water flowing through the hydraulically smooth, turbulent transition, and squared resistance regions of the pipeline, and is applicable over a Reynolds number range of 4000 to 108. Extensive experimental results have shown that the drag coefficient along the pipeline calculated using the Collebrook formula agrees well with actual resistance tests on commercial circular pipes. This formula is widely used internationally, particularly in Europe. However, existing hydraulic calculation formulas cannot address the issues of siltation and velocity changes at the upper arch of the underpass.

[0003] Therefore, the present invention studies the design method of the head loss of the underpass, additionally considers the siltation and head loss at the upper arch, considers the influence of the underpass when designing the water level of the surge tank, and proposes a calculation formula for the head loss of the underpass. Summary of the Invention

[0023] c) Based on the calculation results, a multi-objective optimization method is used to adjust the design parameters, including the diameter, material and layout parameters of the pipe, to achieve the best drainage effect.

[0024] Furthermore, in the above step S103, the numerical method includes a finite volume method and a finite difference method.

[0025] Furthermore, in the above step S104, the step of adjusting the design parameters using the multi-objective optimization method is as follows:

[0032] (2)

[0033] Where a is a fixed parameter with a value of 0.01, and b is a fixed parameter with a value of 0.5.

[0034] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: By proposing a head loss calculation formula applicable to underpasses, it takes into account the effects of siltation and flow velocity variations, making hydraulic design more accurate and effectively addressing the shortcomings of existing hydraulic calculation formulas under the specific conditions of underpasses, particularly the head loss problem at the upper arch. By employing a multi-objective optimization approach to adjust design parameters, the drainage pipeline can be optimized to the greatest extent possible while meeting flow and velocity requirements, improving pipeline performance and economic efficiency. This balance of multiple design factors results in a more reasonable final design. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
