Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of centrifugal pump technology, specifically to a method for determining the blade wrap angle of a centrifugal pump based on numerical integration of fluid mechanics. Background Technology
[0002] In centrifugal pump blade design, the blade wrap angle is a crucial geometric parameter, directly impacting the impeller's performance. According to existing centrifugal pump blade design theories, both the grid conformal transformation method and the twisted triangle method require an initial estimate of the wrap angle based on experience before determining its size. Then, streamline development lines are drawn. If the shape of the streamline development lines is not ideal, modifications must be made to the blade inlet edge position, inlet / outlet angles, or the wrap angle itself, making the process quite cumbersome. Furthermore, in both the grid conformal transformation method and the twisted triangle method, the initial wrap angle value can only be selected empirically and is not necessarily the final value. The final wrap angle value is determined solely by the shape and smoothness of the streamline development lines, and its final size can only be determined when drawing the streamline development lines, not initially based on design requirements. Therefore, these two traditional methods for determining the wrap angle of centrifugal pump blades rely too heavily on experience and are far from sufficient for quickly determining the wrap angle of centrifugal pump blades. If a wrap angle determination method can be proposed that can calculate a reasonable wrap angle value based on the design requirements of the centrifugal pump, it can avoid selecting the wrap angle based on experience and also avoid the impact of changes in the final wrap angle on the impeller performance.
[0003] A search revealed that no patents related to this invention have been published yet. It is only mentioned in some literature, and the corresponding technical solutions mainly determine the blade wrap angle based on the blade inlet and outlet placement angles. This is still based on the grid conformal transformation method, and the final wrap angle is determined based on the shape and uniformity of the streamline development line. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for determining the wrap angle of centrifugal pump blades based on numerical integration of fluid mechanics, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for determining the wrap angle of a centrifugal pump blade based on numerical integration in fluid mechanics, the method comprising: S1. Divide the streamlines of the impeller shaft into equally spaced points in the impeller shaft projection diagram, and calculate the arc length and radius between each two adjacent equally spaced points; S2. The fluid velocity v from the blade inlet to the blade outlet is calculated based on the impeller axial projection diagram and one-dimensional flow theory. m Then, draw v m A curve that varies along the streamlines of the axial plane; S3, according to the improved import circulation formula and the improved Euler formula, the streamline import tangential velocity moment and the streamline export tangential velocity moment are obtained; and the tangential velocity moment curve along the axial surface streamline from the import to the export is drawn in combination with the tangential velocity moment curve along the axial surface streamline from the import to the export; S4, the integral coefficient K of the i-th division point is calculated according to the blade profile differential equation i ; S5, the blade wrap angle is calculated after the arc length, the radius, the tangential velocity moment curve along the axial surface streamline from the import to the export, the tangential velocity moment curve along the axial surface streamline from the import to the export and the integral coefficient K obtained in steps S1-S4 are combined m i
[0006] Further, the axial surface streamline in the impeller axial surface projection drawing in S1 is obtained according to CFD software numerical simulation; when the axial surface streamline is divided in the impeller axial surface projection drawing, the axial surface streamline is divided into A equally spaced division points, and A is a preset constant.
[0007] CFD software numerical simulation is one of the most commonly used methods for obtaining axial surface streamline at present; compared with other methods for obtaining axial surface streamline, CFD software numerical simulation can obtain axial surface streamline distribution more quickly, realize visualization and optimization of outlet edge shape, and balance accuracy and efficiency; the axial surface streamline obtained by CFD software numerical simulation in the application can minimize errors and realize accurate design of the blade wrap angle of the centrifugal pump.
[0008] Further, after the arc length between each adjacent two division points obtained in S2, the arc length between the i-th division point and the i+1-th division point is recorded as Δs i , and the arc length Δs i is combined with the integral coefficient K i to obtain Δs i corresponding to Δ θ i , wherein Δ θ i is the central angle corresponding to the arc length Δs i ; for the radius between each adjacent two division points obtained, the radius between the i-th division point and the i+1-th division point is recorded as C i ; and the fluid velocity from the blade import to the blade export is obtained according to the related formula v m , and the curve v m along the axial surface streamline is drawn , wherein f() represents the fluid velocity from the blade import to the blade export v m and Δs i The relationship function between the two is as follows: wherein, is the arc length between the i-th and the i+1-th division point; r1 is the inlet radius, the inlet radius being the radius of the circular profile at the impeller inlet; Q is the design flow rate, wherein the design flow rate Q is preset according to a theoretical model.
[0009] The design flow rate of a centrifugal pump is one of the core parameters of the design of the centrifugal pump, and the size change of the design flow rate will affect important geometric parameters such as the impeller inlet diameter and the flow passage width; since the present application is to realize the design of the blade wrap angle of the centrifugal pump through parameterization, and to get rid of the method of relying on experience to obtain the blade wrap angle of the centrifugal pump, the presetting of the design flow rate according to the theoretical model in the present application avoids the blindness of the experience-based design, and realizes the unity with the core technology of the present application.
[0010] Further, the relevant formula for obtaining the streamline inlet tangential velocity moment v u1 r 1 and the streamline outlet tangential velocity moment v u2 r 2 is as follows: ; wherein, is the blade inlet setting angle, is the magnitude of the angle of attack, and = 0.8 (N S / 100) 0.6 ; wherein is the specific speed of the impeller; the present application increases the specific speed because the formula dynamically correlates the angle of attack with the specific speed Ns, and reflects the influence of the specific speed on the inlet flow direction through the exponential form (0.6) and the coefficient (0.8), the flow passage of a high specific speed pump (large flow rate, low head) expands significantly, and the inlet flow is easy to deviate from the design direction, and needs a larger angle of attack correction; is the impeller inlet width; Q is the design flow rate; g is the acceleration of gravity, taken as 9.81; v u2 is the outlet tangential velocity; r 2 is the outlet radius, the outlet radius being the radius of the circular profile at the impeller outlet; u1 is the inlet tangential velocity; r 1 is the inlet radius; the inlet radius being the radius of the circular profile at the impeller inlet; ω is the angular velocity of the impeller; H this the theoretical head of the impeller; after v u1 r1and v u2 r2are obtained, the tangential velocity moment v u ris drawn according to the formula ; the related formula is as follows: wherein, the tangential velocity moment v v u r the change along the axial surface streamline from the inlet to the outlet is linear change; v u2 is the outlet tangential velocity; r 2is the outlet radius; v u1 is the inlet tangential velocity; r 1is the inlet radius; ω is the angular velocity of the impeller; H th is the theoretical head of the impeller; is the arc length between the i th equal point and the i+1 th equal point; L is the total arc length of the axial surface streamline.
[0011] Wherein, the flow passage expansion of the high specific speed pump is a key link affecting the water conservancy performance of the centrifugal pump, and in the design of the high specific speed pump, the flow passage expansion is significantly associated with the large cam angle correction, which is a key technology. When the flow passage expansion of the high specific speed pump is significant, the fluid flow state changes; at this time, the large cam angle correction is needed to cope with the change, optimize the water conservancy performance, achieve the purpose of reducing the impact loss and widening the high efficiency area.
[0012] Further, the integral coefficient of the i th equal point in S4 is calculated as ; wherein, C i is the radius of the i th equal point and the i+1 th equal point; is the arc length Δs i corresponding to the tangential velocity, and is the value of each point corresponding to the curve according to the interpolation; v is the value of each point corresponding to the curve according to the interpolation; v is the value of each point corresponding to the curve according to the interpolation; v m is the arc length Δs i corresponding to the fluid velocity, and v m is the value of each point corresponding to the curve according to the interpolation; the integral coefficient of the i th equal point is obtained through the blade profile differential equation ; wherein, the blade profile differential equation is obtained through the blade profile differential equation ; wherein, the blade profile differential equation Is based on the kinematics and dynamics of fluid in the blade passage derived.
[0013] Blade profile differential equation ; Reaction in the case of considering the rotation of the impeller and fluid flow, the change rule of blade profile in geometry, help to design and analyze the shape of the blade to meet the specific requirements of fluid dynamics performance; through the blade profile differential equation Integral coefficient of the i-th point of equal division The process is as follows: From the blade profile differential equation Transformed as: At the i-th point of equal division of the meridional streamline, the radius C i And the corresponding velocity interpolation And Substitute, that is, the integral coefficient , the physical meaning of which is the angular rate of point i .
[0014] Further, the related formula for calculating the blade wrap angle of the centrifugal pump in S5 is: Wherein, The blade wrap angle of the centrifugal pump is obtained; the cumulative sum of Δ θ i Corresponding to each Δ θ i When i is different, Δ θ i The arc length Corresponding to the central angle and ; wherein, The arc length between the i-th point of equal division and the i+1-th point of equal division; In the formula The integral coefficient of the i-th point of equal division, The integral coefficient of the i+1-th point of equal division.
[0015] In the process of determining the blade wrap angle of the centrifugal pump based on the fluid mechanics differential equation and the numerical integral theory, step-by-step calculation and parameterized modeling are adopted, which significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of the wrap angle design. The method takes the theoretical model as the core, and directly calculates the wrap angle value according to the design parameters such as head and speed by establishing the blade profile differential equation , combined with Euler equation and meridional velocity distribution, which overcomes the defects of relying on empirical initial value in traditional methods. The discrete points and point-by-point integral formula , form tabular calculation process, make design cycle shorten more than 40%, and the calculation error is controlled within 3%, which is better than the empirical adjustment mode of traditional conformal transformation method. Through the definition of integral coefficient , tangential momentum, centrifugal force and velocity gradient are dynamically related, and good multi-working condition adaptability is achieved, especially for complex operating conditions such as high specific speed and large flow.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present application are: the present application proposes a determination method of the wrap angle of a centrifugal pump, which can obtain the blade streamline wrap angle value according to the design requirements of the impeller, by applying the blade profile differential equation, dividing points along the axial surface streamline and integrating point by point, so that the wrap angle value can be selected according to experience and the final wrap angle value can be determined only according to the shape and smoothness of the streamline development line.
