If the change in key hydraulic parameters is less than the set threshold when the number of grids increases by a certain percentage, then the grid division scheme is considered to meet the requirements.

[0026] For complex flow fields (such as boundary layers and vortex regions) and regular flow channels near the flap gate, a differentiated meshing strategy is adopted to balance computational accuracy and efficiency. Unstructured meshes (tetrahedral) in the gate region adapt to complex curved surfaces, and denser boundary layers accurately capture wall flow characteristics; structured meshes (hexahedral) in the flow channel reduce the number of meshes and improve computational speed; mesh independence verification ensures that the calculation results are independent of mesh density, avoiding simulation deviations caused by mesh errors.

[0028] A multi-physics coupled mathematical model is constructed to simulate the real flow environment (such as turbulence, cavitation, and gas-liquid two-phase flow). The turbulence model accurately simulates complex turbulent flow, and the standard wall function is used to process the near-wall region flow. The VOF model tracks the gas-liquid interface, and the cavitation effect is quantitatively analyzed by combining the vaporization pressure formula. The dynamic mesh technology is used to simulate the rotating motion of the flap valve, and supports dynamic condition (such as opening and closing process) simulation.

[0029] As a further improvement of the present application, the numerical solution steps are as follows: the ANSYS Fluent solver is selected, the SIMPLE algorithm is used for pressure-velocity coupling calculation, the second-order upwind format is used for discretization of the convection term, and the central difference format is used for the diffusion term; the residual convergence criterion is set as the residual curve of each equation being lower than ν, while monitoring the flow rate, the force on the door body, and other parameters; when the parameter fluctuation amplitude is ν<φ, it is determined that the solution converges, ν is the upper limit value of the residual convergence criterion, and φ is the upper limit value of the parameter fluctuation amplitude; steady-state and transient-state solutions are performed respectively, and key data in the solution process are recorded to provide a basis for subsequent analysis.

[0030] The control equation is solved by numerical method to obtain the key parameters of the flow field (pressure, flow rate, gas holdup, etc.).

The flow coefficient evaluates the flow efficiency, and provides pressure data for cavitation risk assessment; the hydrodynamic moment M provides key mechanical parameters for the selection of the opening and closing machine and the design of the driving system. Further, in the comparison of multiple working conditions and the construction of a database, the system analyzes the influence of different working conditions (water level, opening degree, water temperature) on the performance of the flap gate, and constructs a standardized data asset. The orthogonal test design (such as water level and opening degree) covers the actual operation range of the project; the database supports parameter sensitivity analysis, and identifies key influencing factors, such as the influence of water temperature on the cavitation threshold. The reliability of the simulation model is verified by physical test data, ensuring the engineering credibility of the numerical simulation results. The flow error, pressure coincidence degree, and other indicators quantify the precision, which meets the water conservancy industry standards (such as SL155-2020); the corrected model can be used as a reliable basis for design optimization, avoiding the problem of "garbage in, garbage out". Based on the simulation data, the optimal structure parameter combination is found through intelligent algorithms, balancing multiple performance indicators. Technical value: NSGA-II algorithm handles the conflict of multiple objectives such as flow efficiency, cavitation risk, and opening and closing torque, generating a Pareto solution set; the optimized structure can significantly improve the engineering performance (among them, the flow efficiency is improved by 12%, and the cavitation index is reduced by 18%).

[0035] The following is an example of a tongue flap gate in a certain water conservancy project, which will explain in detail the implementation process of the simulation method of the tongue flap gate hydraulics characteristics: The water conservancy project is located on a river, mainly for flood control, irrigation and power generation. The tongue flap gate as the key water discharge equipment of the project, its hydraulics characteristics directly affect the operation efficiency and safety of the project. In order to optimize the design and operation of the tongue flap gate, it is decided to use the simulation method of the invention for research.

[0036] A three-dimensional parametric geometric model of the tongue flap gate is constructed using professional three-dimensional modeling software SolidWorks. According to the design requirements of the project, the opening range of the tongue flap gate is set to (ie , , ), the range of the door body curvature is (ie , , ), and the range of the door slot width is (ie , , ). The assembly relationship and size constraints of each component are determined, and the full flow channel model is generated by Boolean operation. The length of the upstream inlet section is set to 4 times the height of the door , and the length of the downstream outlet section is set to 8 times the height of the door .

[0037] Meshing is performed using ANSYS ICEM CFD software. In the door body and door slot area, tetrahedral unstructured mesh with size range of (0.02m-0.06m) (ie a =0.02m, b =0.06m) is used, and the boundary layer is encrypted on the wall surface, so that (y + <25) (c=25). The upstream and downstream flow channels use hexahedral structured mesh with size range of (0.06m-0.25m) (ie (d=0.06m), (e=0.25m)), and the total number of meshes is controlled between 1.5 million and 2.5 million (ie (f=1500000), (g=2500000)). Mesh independence verification is performed by changing the mesh density to ensure that the key hydraulic parameters change less than (3%) under different mesh densities.

[0038] In the ANSYS Fluent software, the control equations and boundary conditions are set. The continuity equation , momentum equation and RNG turbulence model are used, and the standard wall function is used for near-wall region treatment. The VOF model is used to track the gas-liquid interface, and the surface tension coefficient Based on water temperature (assuming the water temperature is in this simulation), the vaporization pressure is calculated by the formula . The inlet is set as a velocity inlet with a velocity range of (i.e. , ), the outlet is set as a pressure outlet with a pressure range of (i.e. , ), and the door body is defined as a moving mesh rotating around an axis with an angular velocity range of (i.e. , ).

[0039] ANSYS Fluent is selected as the solver, the SIMPLE algorithm is used for pressure-velocity coupling calculation, the second-order upwind scheme is used for discretization of the convection term, and the central difference scheme is used for the diffusion term. The residual convergence criterion is set to be small -6 (i.e. h =10 -6 ), real-time monitoring of flow rate, door force and other parameters, and when the parameter fluctuation amplitude is less than i (i.e. =1.5%) is determined to be convergent. Steady and transient solutions are performed respectively to obtain key data such as flow field pressure, flow rate, and gas holdup.

[0040] Flow capacity analysis: calculate the flow coefficient , draw the opening-flow coefficient curve. Through analysis of the curve, it is found that when the opening is about , the flow coefficient reaches the maximum value, indicating that the flow capacity of the flap door is the strongest at this time. Cavitation analysis: extract the door body surface pressure cloud picture, calculate the cavitation index , and identify the high-risk cavitation area near the door slot corner and the bottom of the door body. Hydrodynamic moment calculation: visualize the door slot and the flow field vector diagram behind the door, and calculate the hydrodynamic moment . The calculation results show that the hydrodynamic moment increases with the increase of the opening, and reaches the maximum value when the opening is .

[0041] A number of typical working conditions are set, and the working condition parameters cover water level (i.e. , , ), opening (20°, 40°, , i.e. , , ), water temperature (15° i.e. , ), considering the influence of temperature on water density and viscosity , simulation calculation was carried out for each group of working conditions to construct the working condition database. By comparing and analyzing the differences in hydraulic characteristics under different working conditions, it was found that the increase of water temperature would lead to the increase of vaporization pressure, thereby increasing the risk of cavitation; the increase of water level would increase the flow rate, but would also increase the water power moment.
