TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of ship lock hydraulics calculation, and more particularly to a method for calculating the peak water flow force of a triangular gate in dynamic water opening and closing. BACKGROUND
[0002] The triangular gate has the unique advantages of bidirectional water load bearing capacity and flexible dynamic water opening and closing. However, during the dynamic water opening and closing process, the triangular gate will generate a large water flow force, and the dynamic characteristics (especially the peak value) directly affect the safety of the gate opening and closing system.
[0003] Existing document 1: Jiang Yusong. Calculation of triangular gate opening and closing force under different conditions [J]. China Water Transport, 2019, 19: (11): 99-100, based on the Ship Lock Gate Design Specification (JTJ 308-2003), the triangular gate opening and closing force calculation method under the conditions of flat water opening and closing, gate gap water conveyance and dynamic water through gate is optimized, but the stress calculation value is larger than the actual stress when the gate is in small opening degree. In addition, this document points out that the triangular gate opening and closing under dynamic water conditions, due to the complex structure of the gate and the lock chamber, the water flow pattern is complex, and the opening and closing force fluctuates greatly, and the water flow force calculation still needs further study.
[0004] Existing document 2: Patent No. ZL202411190381.4, the invention name is a method for calculating the opening and closing force of a triangular gate in small opening degree gap water conveyance under positive water conveyance, which can accurately calculate the opening and closing force of a triangular gate in small opening degree gap water conveyance (constant flow) under positive water conveyance. However, this method has limitations in applicability, and is only applicable to constant flow gate gap water conveyance conditions, and does not consider the non-constant flow dynamic water opening and closing conditions of the triangular gate and the bidirectional water head operation conditions.
[0005] At present, the design of triangular gate structure mainly focuses on static force analysis, and it is difficult to capture the dynamic law of water flow force when the gate is opened and closed in dynamic water, especially the accurate calculation formula of the peak value of water flow force. Therefore, establishing a method for accurately calculating the peak value of water flow force of triangular gate in dynamic water opening and closing has important theoretical significance and engineering application value for improving the scientificity of triangular gate design, ensuring the safety of ship lock operation and reducing the operation risk.

[0032] Example 1
[0033] In this example, a new triangular gate driven by hydraulic opening and closing in China is taken as the research object, and the physical model is as follows Figure 1As shown in (a) and (b), the physical model has a total length of 28.00 m, with the upstream approach channel 1 being 3.00 m long, the downstream approach channel 2 being 2.85 m long, and the lock chamber 3 being 1.35 m wide. Both upstream and downstream of the physical model are equipped with inlets and outlets. The model uses a 400 mm diameter spiral steel pipe for water supply, with a butterfly valve installed at the inlet end to control the flow rate. Horizontal water channels 4 are arranged both upstream and downstream to control the water level. The outlet of the horizontal water channel 4 is connected to the side return water corridor, which leads directly to the underground reservoir 5 for water recycling.
[0034] A functional relationship between the hydrodynamic forces during the opening and closing of the triangular sluice gate was established using dimensional analysis. The main physical quantities that may affect the hydrodynamic forces during the opening and closing of the triangular sluice gate include: submerged water depth. H ∆ h Flow rate u Fluid density p Dynamic viscosity coefficient µ Surface tension coefficient δ Gravitational acceleration g Therefore, the functional relationship characterizing the dynamic water flow force during the opening and closing of the triangular sluice gate can be expressed as:
[0035]
[0036] We select mass [M], time [T], and length [L] as the basic units of measurement. p, g, H As basic physical variables, according to π From the theorem and the principle of dimensional harmony, we can obtain:
[0037]
[0038] In the formula π The value can be taken as its reciprocal as needed without changing its dimensionless property, and can be written as:
[0039]
[0040] Solving for the force of water flow F w ,have to:
[0041]
[0042] The final expression for the hydrodynamic force can be written as:
[0043]
[0044] Where Re is the Reynolds number. ,Fr For Froude number , We It is a Weber number.
[0045] Re(Reynolds number): viscous force vs. inertial force (reflects viscous effects of fluid);
[0046] We (Weber number): inertial force vs. surface tension (reflects surface tension effects);
[0047] Fr (Froude number): inertial force vs. gravity (reflects gravity effects).
[0048] According to the flow characteristics of the triangular gate opening and closing operation: the triangular gate flow is usually high Reynolds number flow (such as large-scale gate, high-speed water flow), the inertial force is much larger than the viscous force, and the contribution of viscous effect to the total water flow force Fw can be ignored. The triangular gate flow is large in scale (such as river channel, ship lock), and gravity dominates the free surface behavior. Surface tension is only significant at a small scale (such as capillary wave), and its effect on large-scale flow can be ignored.
[0049] The above formula (5) can be simplified as:
[0050]
[0051] From the above analysis, the water flow force characteristics in the dynamic water opening and closing process of the triangular gate are related to the factors such as the water level difference between upstream and downstream and the flow velocity. Specifically, in the dynamic water opening condition, the water flow force is mainly controlled by the water level difference between upstream and downstream; and in the dynamic water closing process, it is mainly affected by the flow velocity in the gate chamber.
[0052] This embodiment measures the peak value of water flow force under the conditions of opening the gate under the positive water head and the submerged water depth of the gate H 6.75m, 7.75m, 8.75m respectively; measures the peak value of water flow force under the conditions of opening the gate under the negative water head and the submerged water depth of the gate H 6.0m, 7.0m, 8.0m respectively; the peak value of dynamic water opening water flow force under the conditions of positive water head and negative water head and the dimensionless water level difference change process between upstream and downstream are shown in Figure 2 . The scatter distribution of the peak value of dynamic water opening water flow force shows that the peak value of water flow force and the dimensionless water level difference between upstream and downstream are linearly related. Linear fitting is performed on the peak value of dynamic water opening water flow force under the conditions of positive water head and negative water head, and formulas (7) and (8) are obtained, and the correlation coefficients are R 2 = 0.95, R 2 = 0.96.
[0053] Condition 1. When opening the gate under the positive water head:
[0054]
[0055] Condition 2. Reverse water head dynamic water opening:
[0056]
[0057] The physical model was measured under the positive water head, and the gate submergence water depth H was 7.75 m and 8.75 m, respectively. The peak water flow force was measured under the physical model under the reverse water head, and the gate submergence water depth H was 7.0 m and 8.0 m, respectively. The peak water flow force under the conditions of positive water head and reverse water head and the Froude number change process are shown in Figure 3 Under the condition of positive water head, the peak water flow force and the Froude number showed an exponential relationship, and an exponential function was established by nonlinear regression to obtain formula (9), and the correlation coefficient R 2 = 0.97; under the condition of reverse water head, the peak water flow force and the Froude number showed a linear relationship, and a linear function was established by linear fitting to obtain formula (10), and the correlation coefficient R 2 = 0.98.
[0058] Condition 3. Positive water head dynamic water closing:
[0059]
[0060] Condition 4. Reverse water head dynamic water closing:
[0061]
[0062] In order to evaluate the performance of the obtained peak water flow force calculation formula, the peak water flow force calculation value Fw c of Example 1 was calculated according to formula (7)-(10), respectively, and compared with the measured peak water flow force Fw 0 in Example 1, the average relative error ARE was calculated, see formula (11), the average relative error ARE of formula (7)-(10) was 4.89%, 4.74%, 3.62%, and 3.67%, respectively, all lower than 5%, indicating that the consistency between the calculation value and the measured value was high, the formula performance was good, and the calculation precision was high.

[0065] Example 2
[0066] This example uses the prototype observation data of a large triangular gate in China to verify the applicability of formulas (7)-(10). Since the ship lock was officially put into operation in 1980, it has been an important shipping channel in southern Jiangsu. The lock chamber is 230.00 m long, the entrance is 20.00 m wide, the sill depth is 4.00 m, the upstream approach channel is 1.50 km long, and it intersects with the Yangtze River. The parameters involved in formulas (7)-(11) were measured and collected. Fw 0、 Δh 、 u prototype observation data.
[0067] The above-mentioned prototype observation data is used for verification. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The triangular scatter plot prototype observation data in this example 2 corresponds to the measured peak water flow force F w0 , the submerged depth of the positive water head is about 6.50 m, and the submerged depth of the reverse water head is about 6.10 m. From Figure 2 、 3 , it can be seen that the triangular scatter plot distribution is consistent with the fitting curve obtained by the model in example 1, and the consistency is high. In addition, the prototype observation data Δh 、 u obtained by this example is substituted into formulas (7)-(10), and the calculated peak water flow force Fw c is obtained, as shown in Table 1.
