Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flow field control technology, specifically to a method and system for reconstructing flow velocity profiles based on time inversion. Background Technology

[0002] Controllable flow velocity profiles, as a core technology for hydrodynamic environmental regulation, have systematic significance for ecological engineering and scientific research practices in multiple fields. In aquaculture, feed feeding is affected by water flow; precise control of flow velocity profiles can significantly improve the uniformity of feed distribution and feeding efficiency, reducing feed waste and water pollution caused by improper flow velocities. For the ecological construction of artificial reef areas, customizing three-dimensional flow velocity gradients based on the flow-tending characteristics of target species can accurately reproduce the hydrodynamic characteristics of their natural habitats, providing suitable living space for fish and thus promoting their habitat and reproduction. At the level of fundamental fluid mechanics research, the generation technology of high-precision programmable flow velocity profiles breaks through the spatiotemporal resolution limitations of traditional shear flow simulations, which is crucial for improving the reliability and repeatability of experimental data, and promotes the output and application of related scientific research results.

[0003] Currently, the technology for generating uniform velocity profiles in terrain-free environments is relatively mature. However, the actual ocean topography plays a significant role, and the coupling effect between fluid and structure alters fluid motion, causing the actual velocity profile to deviate from the theoretically preset value. Furthermore, when the target value is a non-uniform velocity profile, such as shear flow, the complex mechanism of fluid-structure interaction makes it difficult to achieve the expected outlet velocity through inlet boundary control. To improve the control accuracy of the velocity profile, multiple iterations of the inlet velocity are often used to indirectly correct the velocity profile at the target location during the control process. However, this method not only reduces efficiency but is also limited by the linearization assumption in the iterative correction method, resulting in limited improvement in velocity profile accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a velocity profile reconstruction technology based on time inversion, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies. It utilizes the time reversibility of the wave equation to obtain the initial conditions or driving force distribution at the velocity inlet boundary by reverse propagating signals and physical field states, thereby achieving active control of fluid motion at the outlet and ultimately reconstructing the desired target velocity profile at a predetermined location.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A velocity profile reconstruction method based on time inversion includes the following steps: Step S1. Establish an entrance boundary based on actual terrain features. BD 1 and target boundary BD 2. Hydrodynamic model; Step S2. At the target boundary BD At two points, an excitation opposite to the original target physical quantity is applied at the inlet boundary. BD 1. Measure the physical quantity of the response; Step S3. At the entrance boundary BD Apply the reverse excitation of the response physical quantity at point 1, at the target boundary. BD Obtain the target physical quantity from two locations.

[0006] Step S4. Verify whether the optimized target physical quantity is consistent with the original physical quantity. If so, the reverse excitation of the response physical quantity is the inlet boundary physical quantity required to reconstruct and generate the original target physical quantity at the target location.

[0007] Furthermore, the physical quantity is a vector field quantity, the excitation is applied through boundary conditions, and the reconstruction process satisfies the principle of time reversal symmetry.

[0008] Furthermore, in step S2, the target boundary BD Excitation applied at 2 points = -target physical quantity; Step S3 Inlet boundary BD The excitation applied at point 1 = -target physical quantity.

[0009] Furthermore, the target physical quantity in step S1 includes the target flow velocity. V target This includes the vertical distribution and size of the velocity profile, and the target location where the target flow velocity occurs is... x target and the inlet location used to control fluid input. x source .

[0010] Further, step S2 specifically includes: Target profile flow velocity V The target is reversed in the propagation direction to obtain the first reverse velocity for the forward process. V FWI = - V targe ; with target boundary BD 2. Apply the first reverse velocity to the velocity inlet. V FWI Simulated fluid from the target boundary BD 2 Towards the entrance boundary BD 1. Spread at the entrance boundary BD The flow velocity was measured at one location and recorded as the first measured flow velocity. V FWM .

[0011] Furthermore, step S3 specifically includes: Measure flow velocity V FWM The propagation direction is reversed to obtain a second reversal velocity for the reverse process. V BWI = - V FWM ; By entrance boundary BD 1. Apply a second reverse velocity to the velocity inlet. V BWI Simulated fluid from the inlet boundary BD 1. Towards the target boundary BD 2. Propagation, at the target boundary BD Flow velocity was measured at two locations, and this measurement is recorded as the second flow velocity. V BWM .

[0012] Further, step S4 specifically includes: Verification of the second flow rate measurement V BWM Flow velocity relative to target profile V If the target is consistent, then the second reversal speed... V BWI That is, at the predetermined location x target Reconstructing the target velocity profile V target The required inlet boundary velocity.

[0013] Furthermore, the actual terrain features in step S1 include the shape of the coastline, the slope of the seabed, and the outline of obstacles or underwater mountains.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S1, the original target physical quantity is determined based on historical data, on-site measurement data, or theoretical models.

[0015] On the other hand, the present invention provides a velocity profile reconstruction system based on time inversion, comprising: The hydrodynamic model building module is used to determine the original target physical quantities and establish a model including the inlet boundary based on actual terrain features. BD 1 and target boundary BD 2. Hydrodynamic model; Forward processing module. It is used at the target boundary. BD At two points, an excitation opposite to the original target physical quantity is applied at the inlet boundary. BD 1. Measure the physical quantity of the response; Reverse processing module. It is used at the entry boundary. BD Apply the reverse excitation of the response physical quantity at point 1, at the target boundary. BD Obtain the target physical quantity from 2 locations; The verification module is used to verify whether the optimized target physical quantity is consistent with the original physical quantity. If so, the reverse excitation of the response physical quantity is the entry boundary physical quantity required to reconstruct and generate the original target physical quantity at the target location.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Simple method. Time reversal technology can easily reconstruct the fluid velocity field without analyzing complex fluid-structure interaction processes, greatly simplifying the operation process and lowering the technical threshold.

[0017] 2. High reconstruction efficiency. Unlike traditional methods that involve multiple iterative corrections, this method only requires two forward and reverse calculations or experimental processes to quickly reconstruct the preset velocity profile at the target location. This provides strong support for real-time or near-real-time fluid dynamics analysis and meets the need for rapid flow field reconstruction.

[0018] 3. Reliable and accurate results. The fluid velocity field reconstructed based on the time-reversal principle is in high agreement with the actual flow field with small errors. At the same time, this technology has strong adaptability to different fluid environments and flow states, and can provide high-quality velocity field data for many engineering applications and scientific research that rely on accurate flow velocity data. This helps to improve the research accuracy and the safety and effectiveness of engineering practices in related fields. Attached Figure Description
