TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of centrifugal pumps, in particular to a centrifugal pump blade wrap angle determination method based on fluid mechanics numerical integration. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the design of centrifugal pump blades, the blade wrap angle is an important geometric parameter of the blade, and the size of the wrap angle directly affects the performance of the centrifugal pump impeller. According to the existing centrifugal pump blade design theory, the square grid conformal transformation method and the twisted triangle method all need to estimate an initial wrap angle according to experience at the beginning before determining the centrifugal pump blade wrap angle, and then draw the stream line expansion line. When the shape of the stream line expansion line is not ideal, the position of the blade inlet edge, the inlet and outlet installation angle or the wrap angle should be modified, and the process is relatively cumbersome. In the square grid conformal transformation method and the twisted triangle method, the initial value of the wrap angle can only be selected according to experience, and it is not necessarily the final wrap angle value. The final wrap angle value is determined only according to the shape and smoothness of the stream line expansion line, and the size of the final wrap angle can be determined only when the stream line expansion line is drawn, and the size of the wrap angle cannot be determined according to the design requirements at the beginning. Therefore, these two traditional methods for determining the centrifugal pump blade wrap angle are too dependent on experience, and there are great deficiencies in quickly determining the centrifugal pump blade wrap angle. If a wrap angle determination method can be proposed to calculate a reasonable wrap angle value according to the design requirements of the centrifugal pump, the selection of the wrap angle according to experience can be avoided, and the influence of the change of the final wrap angle on the performance of the impeller can also be avoided.
[0003] After searching, there is no patent related to the present application, only in some literature, and the corresponding technical solution is mainly to determine the blade wrap angle according to the blade inlet and outlet installation angle, which is still based on the square grid conformal transformation method, and the final wrap angle is determined according to the shape and uniformity of the stream line expansion line. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application aims to provide a centrifugal pump blade wrap angle determination method based on fluid mechanics numerical integration to solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides the following technical scheme: a centrifugal pump blade wrap angle determination method based on fluid mechanics numerical integration, the method comprising:

[0007] S2, calculating the fluid velocity v m from the blade inlet to the blade outlet according to the axial surface projection drawing of the impeller and the one-dimensional flow theory m , and drawing the curve of v along the axial surface stream line.
[0008] 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 streamline import tangential velocity moment and the streamline export tangential velocity moment are combined to draw the curve of the tangential velocity moment along the axial surface streamline from the import to the export;

[0011] Further, the axial surface streamline in the axial surface projection drawing of the impeller in S1 is obtained according to CFD software numerical simulation; when the axial surface streamline is divided in the axial surface projection drawing of the impeller, the axial surface streamline is divided into A equally spaced division points, and the A is a preset constant.
[0012] 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.
[0013] 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 . v m The curve of the tangential velocity moment along the axial surface streamline is drawn wherein f() represents the fluid velocity from the blade inlet to the blade outlet v m with the relationship function between Δs i The calculation formula is as follows:
[0014]
[0015] wherein, is the arc length between the i-th and the i+1-th division point; r1 is the inlet radius, which is 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.
[0016] 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 realizes the design of the blade wrap angle of the centrifugal pump through parameterization, and gets 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.
[0017] Further, the S3 is obtained according to the improved inlet circulation formula and the improved Euler formula, and the related 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:

[0020] wherein, is the blade inlet setting angle, is the magnitude of the incidence angle, 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 incidence angle 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 the 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 incidence angle correction; is the impeller inlet width; Q is the design flow rate; g is the acceleration of gravity, which is 9.81; v u2 is the outlet tangential velocity; r2 represents the outlet radius, which is the radius of the circular profile at the impeller outlet; v u1 The inlet tangential velocity; r 1 represents the inlet radius; the inlet radius is the radius of the circular profile at the impeller inlet. ω H is the impeller angular velocity; th To determine the theoretical head of the impeller; the tangential velocity v at the streamline inlet is obtained. u1 r1 and streamlined exit tangential velocity v u2 After r2, draw the tangential velocity moment v according to the formula. u The curve of r changing along the axial streamline from inlet to outlet. ;draw The relevant formulas are as follows:

[0023] Among them, the flow channel expansion of high specific speed pumps is a key factor affecting the hydraulic performance of centrifugal pumps. In the design of high specific speed pumps, significant flow channel expansion and large angle of attack correction are key technologies that are interrelated. When the flow channel expansion of a high specific speed pump is significant, it will lead to changes in the fluid flow state. At this time, large angle of attack correction is needed to deal with this change, optimize hydraulic performance, reduce impact loss, and widen the high efficiency zone.
[0024] Furthermore, in S4, the integral coefficient of the i-th division point is calculated as follows: Among them, C i Let be the radius between the i-th dividing point and the (i+1)-th dividing point; The arc length Δs between the dividing points i The corresponding tangential velocity, and According to Curve interpolation yields each component point The corresponding value; v m The arc length Δs between the dividing points icorresponding fluid velocity, and v m is obtained according to The integral coefficient of the i-th point is obtained by curve interpolation corresponding value; the integral coefficient of the i-th point is obtained by the blade profile differential equation ; wherein the blade profile differential equation is derived based on kinematics and dynamics principles of fluid in the blade passage.
[0025] The blade profile differential equation reflects the variation rule of the blade profile in geometry under the consideration of the rotation of the impeller and the flow of fluid, and is helpful to design and analyze the shape of the blade to meet specific fluid dynamics performance requirements; the integral coefficient of the i-th point is obtained by the blade profile differential equation , and the process is as follows:
[0026] The blade profile differential equation is transformed as: At the i-th point of the meridional streamline, the radius C i of the point and the corresponding velocity interpolation and are substituted, and the integral coefficient is obtained, which has the physical meaning of the angular change rate of the point i.
[0027] Further, the formula for calculating the blade wrap angle of the centrifugal pump in S5 is as follows:
[0028]

[0030] The application significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of the wrap angle design by using step-by-step calculation and parameterized modeling in the process of determining the wrap angle of the centrifugal pump blade based on the fluid mechanics differential equation and the numerical integration theory. The method takes a theoretical model as the core, directly calculates the wrap angle value according to the design parameters such as the head and the rotating speed by establishing the blade profile differential equation , combining the Euler equation and the axial plane velocity distribution, and overcomes the defects of the traditional method that relies on the initial value of experience. The discretization of the split point and the point-by-point integral formula are used to form a tabular calculation process, so that the design cycle is shortened by more than 40%, and the calculation error is controlled within 3%, which is better than the experience adjustment mode of the traditional conformal transformation method. At the same time, through the definition of the integral coefficient , the tangential momentum, centrifugal force and velocity gradient are dynamically related, and the method has good adaptability to multiple working conditions, and is especially suitable for complex operating conditions such as high specific speed and large flow.
[0031] Compared with the prior art, the application has the beneficial effects that the application provides a method for determining the wrap angle of a centrifugal pump, which can finally obtain the blade flow line wrap angle value by applying the blade profile differential equation, dividing points along the axial flow line and integrating point by point according to the design requirements of the impeller, and can avoid selecting the wrap angle value according to experience and avoiding determining the final wrap angle value only according to the shape and smoothness of the flow line development line.
