Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of water conservancy and municipal engineering, and in particular to a twisted-tube water outlet channel and a design method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The outlet flow channel refers to the flow passage from the outlet of the guide vane to the outlet pool of the water pump, and mainly has straight pipe type, siphon type, hump type and other structural forms. The function of the outlet flow channel is to better turn and diffuse the water flow in the process of flowing from the guide vane outlet into the outlet pool. However, due to the dual influence of the residual circulation at the outlet of the guide vane and its own inertia, the flow distribution of water in the outlet flow channel is uneven and the flow state is poor, which is easy to produce spiral water flow, increase the head loss, and thus reduce the efficiency of the pump device. At present, the structural design of the outlet flow channel of the pump station is often limited by the flow velocity of the outlet section and the outlet surface of the guide vane. The length of the outlet flow channel along the center line of the water flow direction is determined by calculating the equivalent diffusion angle, and it is ensured that the cross-sectional area of the outlet flow channel changes uniformly along the center line of the flow channel. With the development of visualization experiment technology and computational fluid dynamics technology, both the engineering and scientific communities have realized that the water flow inside the outlet flow channel of low-lift pump stations is often spiral. However, the current design of the outlet flow channel does not take into account the diffusion effect of spiral flow, resulting in a bottleneck in the efficiency optimization of the outlet flow channel, which is difficult to break through. Summary of the Invention

The calculation method for the equivalent diffusion angle β is:

[0044]

[0045] Step 3: Preliminary formulation of the optimization range of the torsion angle θ, the optimization range of the torsion angle θ is limited to between.

[0046] Step 4: Establish a three-dimensional coordinate system, set the center of the flow channel inlet circle as the origin of the coordinate system, the direction of the water flow of the outlet flow channel as the positive direction of the coordinate system X axis, the width B direction of the outlet rectangle as the Y direction of the coordinate system, and the height H direction of the outlet rectangle as the positive direction of the coordinate system Z axis.

[0056] where θ is calculated in radians.

[0057] Step 6: Based on the analytical equation of the flow channel twist surface designed in step 4, a complete initial solution of the twisted tube outlet flow channel is obtained. With the goal of minimizing the spiral flow intensity and hydraulic loss, the NSGA-Ⅱ algorithm is used to optimize the twist angle of the twisted tube outlet flow channel. Before optimization, the restriction range of the twist angle θ is given, and the twisted tube outlet flow channel profile corresponding to the optimal twist angle θ is selected.

[0058] Spiral flow intensity:

[0059]

[0060] Where: R is the radius of the outlet channel inlet surface, v θ is the tangential velocity of the outlet channel inlet, m / s, v Z is the axial velocity of the outlet channel inlet, m / s; r t is the radius of each point of the spiral flow, m; θ is the azimuth angle of each point of the spiral flow, rad;

[0063] Where: P out is the total pressure at the outlet of the water flow channel, Pa; P in is the total pressure at the inlet of the outlet channel, Pa.

[0064] Example:

[0065] A large pumping station in Anhui Province was selected as the research object. The pumping station has 9 sets of equipment and a drainage flow of 101m 3 / s. The equivalent diffusion angle of the outlet flow channel of the pump station is calculated and the equivalent diffusion is relatively 9.6°, which meets the requirement of Section 10.2.5 of the "Pump Station Design Standard (GB50265-2022)" that the equivalent diffusion angle should be 8° to 12°. With the goal of minimizing the spiral flow intensity and hydraulic loss, the NSGA-Ⅱ algorithm is used to optimize the torsion angle of the twisted tube outlet flow channel. Given the constraint range of the torsion angle (-90°<θ<90°, that is, The hydraulic performance parameters of the twisted pipe outlet flow channel of the final optimization scheme and the straight pipe outlet flow channel of the initial scheme are compared in Table 1. The three-dimensional model of the initial and optimized vertical axial flow pump device is shown in Figure 5 Table 1 Comparison of pump device parameters before and after optimization

[0066] category Straight pipe outlet Twisted tube water outlet Luffing Torsion angle 0° 45° 45° Pump unit efficiency 64.651% 65.243% +0.592% Hydraulic loss 6.19cm 3.67cm -2.52cm Spiral flow intensity 0.25 0.17 0.08

[0067] Under low flow conditions (Q = 250 L / s), the efficiency of the pump device of the twisted tube water outlet flow channel is higher than that of the conventional straight tube water outlet flow channel. After optimization, the efficiency of the pump device of the twisted tube water outlet flow channel is increased by 0.592%, the hydraulic loss of the twisted tube water outlet flow channel is reduced by 40.71%, and the spiral flow intensity is reduced by 0.08. The design method proposed in the present invention can not only improve the hydraulic loss of the pump device, but also increase the stability of the water flow in the water outlet flow channel.

[0068] The pressure and streamlines of the middle cross section of the conventional straight pipe outlet flow channel and the optimal twisted pipe outlet flow channel are as follows: Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, it can be seen that the velocity distribution in the middle section of the twisted tube outlet flow channel is more uniform, indicating that the pressure energy is recovered more fully and the water flow is diffused more evenly, which is consistent with the result of improved pump device efficiency.
