Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of computational fluid dynamics and structural engineering, and particularly relates to a nonlinear liquid sloshing proportional boundary finite element numerical simulation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Liquid sloshing, as a typical nonlinear fluid-structure interaction phenomenon, widely exists in civil engineering liquid storage structures, water conservancy engineering water guide pipe networks and transportation engineering transport containers. When such structures are subjected to swing excitation such as seismic waves, vehicle braking or wave loads, the free surface will excite large gravity waves, local splashing and even impact loads, resulting in a 40%-60% increase in the dynamic stress amplitude of the structure.

[0003] Traditional numerical analysis methods face significant bottlenecks when dealing with swing excitation working conditions: the finite element method (FEM) requires global mesh dynamic reconstruction. For a typical two-dimensional container (aspect ratio 3:1), a single 0.5Hz excitation simulation takes 6.2 hours (ANSYS Fluent 2022R2, mesh number 120k); the boundary element method (BEM) reduces the dimensionality requirement, but it is difficult to handle the strong nonlinear term of the free surface velocity potential, resulting in a wave height prediction deviation of more than 20%; existing commercial software (such as ADINA, ABAQUS) has insufficient adaptability to time-varying boundary conditions, making it difficult to accurately simulate the subharmonic resonance phenomenon caused by sudden changes in excitation frequency (Δf≥0.2Hz). The above methods have engineering applicability in specific working conditions, but their limitations are more pronounced when subjected to swing excitation, the calculation process is inconvenient, the prediction accuracy and efficiency are low, and the engineering applicability is limited. Patent No. CN117150868B provides a finite element numerical simulation model generation method and system for damage assessment, including the following steps: calibrating the finite element numerical simulation model of the warhead and the equivalent finite element numerical simulation model of the target based on the actual damage element distribution in the damage process; generating a new finite element numerical simulation model of the warhead damage target based on the calibrated finite element numerical simulation model of the warhead and the equivalent finite element numerical simulation model of the target; calibrating the new finite element numerical simulation model of the warhead damage target based on the actual damage element distribution in the damage process to obtain a finite element numerical simulation model for damage assessment. In this patent, numerical simulation is also realized by finite element method, which has the same disadvantages as existing technology.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a numerical simulation method that is convenient and efficient in calculation process, and has high prediction accuracy and efficiency under swing excitation working conditions, is a problem that needs to be solved by technical personnel in this field. SUMMARY

[0066] The present application provides a nonlinear liquid sloshing proportional boundary finite element numerical simulation method, which is applied to the dynamic response prediction and safety evaluation of liquid storage structures such as hydrogen energy storage and transportation equipment and large aqueducts, and combines Figure 2 With Figure 3 In this embodiment, Figure 2 The motion schematic diagram of the nonlinear liquid sloshing proportional boundary finite element numerical simulation method provided by the present application, Figure 3 For Figure 2 The proportional boundary finite element method grid discrete schematic diagram of the rectangular container shown in the figure, in Figure 3 The model is established and discretized, and the operation object of the model establishment and discretization process is a rectangular container, and the detailed method specifically includes the following steps:

[0067] S10, the semi-Lagrangian method is used to track the motion of the liquid free surface, and the nonlinear sloshing motion equation under the pitch excitation is derived by using the velocity potential.

[0068] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , a multi-reference frame kinematic model is established, the coordinate system is defined as a fixed inertial system O-XY: the origin O is located at the geometric center of the container, the X axis is horizontal to the right, and the Y axis is vertical upward; the motion system o-xy: the container makes a swing motion around the O point, and the x axis is always coincident with the container bottom. The rectangular container in swing oscillation is subjected to angular velocity motion Determined;

[0069] In the case that there is no viscosity and compressibility in the fluid, it is assumed that the fluid does not rotate, and the control equation can be defined as the Laplace equation: Under the assumption condition that the atmospheric pressure is 0, the pressure of the free surface is equal to the atmospheric pressure to obtain the dynamic boundary condition:

[0070]

[0071] Wherein, g represents the acceleration of gravity, Γ S1 Indicates the boundary formed by the free surface;

[0072] According to the assumption that the fluid particles reaching the free surface still stay on the free surface in the subsequent motion, the dynamic boundary condition on the free surface can be expressed as:

[0073]

[0074] Wherein, n y And n xare the direction cosines of the normal vector and the outward projection along the boundary, respectively, denotes the differential along the normal direction;

[0075] The remaining boundary conditions on the inner wall of the container wetted by the liquid are:

[0076]

[0077] S20, create a nonlinear liquid sloshing model in a scaled coordinate system and establish a scaled boundary finite element system (SBFEM) equation.

[0078] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 , a scaled boundary coordinate system (ξ, η) is introduced, the radial coordinate ξ ∈ [0, 1]: the scaling ratio of the domain, ξ = 1 corresponds to the physical boundary; the circumferential coordinate η ∈ [-1, 1]: the dimensionless parameter along the boundary, the geometry of the problem domain boundary is defined by the scaled boundary coordinate.

[0079] The boundary conditions are discretized using the weighted residual method, and the SBFEM system equation in the scaled coordinate system is derived, where through the control equation and the boundary condition, the following relationship can be obtained:

[0080]

[0081] where, v n The normal liquid velocity outside the domain boundary is shown, and w is an arbitrary weighting function. The spatial derivative in the equation is expressed as:

[0082] dΩ = ξ |J b |dξds

[0083] where,

[0084]

[0085]

[0086] where, ξ, s are scaled boundary coordinates, and according to the Galerkin method, the weighted function w of the liquid potential energy can be expressed as:

[0087] w(ξ, s) = [N(s)]{w(ξ)} = {w(ξ)} T [N(s)] T

[0088] Substituting the above equation into the boundary condition equation, we get:

[0089]

[0090] By applying Green's theorem, the integral and expansion of the domain integral with respect to the radial coordinate are realized, and the SBFEM system equation is obtained:

[0091]

[0092] wherein,

[0093] [E0] = ∫ s [B1(s)] T [B1(s)]|J b |ds

[0094] [E1] = ∫ s [B2(s)] T [B1(s)]|J b |ds

[0095] [E2] = ∫ s [B2(s)] T [B2(s)]|J b |ds.

[0096] S30, time domain solving is performed using the second-order Runge-Kutta algorithm (RK2), ensuring accurate time updating of physical variables and their gradients.

[0097] Specifically, the improved midpoint method format is adopted to represent the motion and dynamic boundary conditions,

[0098]

[0099]

[0100] wherein, n and n+1 represent the values of physical quantities at t n and t n+1 , and t n =t0+n△t, c1, c2 and c3 satisfy c1+c2=1, c2c3=1 / 2.

[0101] S40, the control equation and the boundary condition are simplified into second-order ordinary differential equations using the weighted residual method, the free surface elevation change is obtained by solving the equations, and the fluid dynamic pressure on the liquid container is calculated using the Bernoulli equation.

[0102] Specifically, in view of the arbitrariness of the weighting function, [E0], [E1] and [E2] must satisfy the following relationship:

[0103]

[0104] The second-order ordinary differential equation is solved by introducing a dual variable vector to convert it into a more simplified form:

[0105]

[0106] wherein,

[0107]

[0108] When ξ = ξ1, the nodal values of {q(ξ)} on the right side of the equation can be calculated by the following formula:

[0109]

[0110] where, can be expressed as: then get ξ{X(ξ)}, ξ = [Z] {X(ξ)}, where the coefficient matrix [Z] is determined as:

[0111]

[0112] Substituting the above formula gives: λ{Φ} = [Z] {Φ}, whose eigenvalue decomposition gives:

[0113] [Z] [Φ] = [Φ]<λ>

[0114] [Φ] = [{Φ1} {Φ2} … {Φ i} … {Φ 2n}]

[0115] <λ> = diag(λ1 λ2 … λ i … λ 2n )

[0116] then:

[0117]

[0118] And because can be deduced:

[0119]

[0120] If <λ b > = diag(λ1,λ2,…,λ i ,…,λ n )

[0121]

[0122] get where {c} = [c1,c2,…,c n ] T represent the integral constant vector.

[0123] Finally, the liquid velocity on the domain boundary is calculated as

[0124]

[0125] The fluid dynamic pressure applied to the liquid container is calculated by Bernoulli's equation The field variables at any point in the liquid domain are calculated. Specifically, the information is brought into the equation solution to obtain the liquid surface elevation, and the result data is imported into the prepared matlab visualization program for post-processing, i.e. drawing the liquid surface elevation variation graph, the container side wall pressure variation curve or the bottom pressure variation curve, and then the movement characteristics of the liquid in the container under the swing action can be determined intuitively.

[0126] Further, in this embodiment, in order to verify the applicability, accuracy and efficiency of the nonlinear liquid sloshing proportional boundary finite element numerical simulation method provided by the embodiment of the present application in the numerical simulation of liquid motion under the swing action, the calculation performance of the present application is investigated from different angles, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the swing motion of the liquid in the two-dimensional rectangular container is established, the distance between the undisturbed free surface in the rectangular container and the x-axis is represented by e, the positive value of which represents that the free liquid surface is located above the x-axis, the center of rotation o is located at the center of the x-axis and on the center line of the container, at the same time, the distance from the undisturbed free surface to the actual free surface is represented by η, as shown in the figure Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the height of the two-dimensional rectangular container is set to 0.6 meters and the width is set to 0.9 meters, the height of the free liquid surface on the left side of the rectangular liquid storage structure is selected as the verification index, the swing angular velocity of the container is ω, wherein the initial angle between the rectangular container and the vertical direction is 0.8°, the angular velocity of rotation is ω, the time is t, and the time marching scheme adopts multiple time steps, including 0.01, 0.005 and 0.001, the model proposed by the present application adopts a smaller number of elements, a lower element order and a smaller degree of freedom, but has a high consistency with the reference solution, thereby proving that the model proposed in this paper is suitable for simulating the nonlinear liquid sloshing phenomenon of the liquid storage structure under the swing excitation.

[0127] Further, as shown in the figure Figure 5 When a first-order frequency swing motion is applied, the liquid sloshing phenomenon will intensify over time, the wave height fluctuation amplitude of the free liquid surface gradually increases, and the change period gradually shortens, it is worth noting that the influence of the first-order natural frequency external excitation on the liquid sloshing phenomenon decreases as the center of rotation rises. In addition, under the same frequency excitation, the simulation results of the liquid with different filling amounts under the swing excitation are also tested, from Figure 6 It can be seen that under the same frequency of pitch excitation, the liquid sloshing of different heights shows different periods and amplitudes, as the filling height decreases, the period will be extended, and the amplitude will be increased. In Figures 7 to 10 The cross-sectional images of the moment when the liquid sloshing phenomenon in the container reaches the most severe moment in each period are obtained, it can be seen that for the container with higher loading capacity, the free liquid surface shape also shows strong nonlinearity.

[0128] Further, in order to prove the applicability of the nonlinear liquid sloshing proportional boundary finite element numerical simulation method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the model is improved to a rectangular liquid storage structure with rounded corners, as shown in Figure 11 Figure 11 The SBFEM grid of the rectangular liquid storage structure with rounded corners is shown, and in this embodiment, 19 cubic units are used, containing 57 nodes, as shown in Figure 12 As shown in the figure, increasing the radius of the rounded corner at the bottom of the rectangular container slightly prolongs the total vibration force period of the liquid in the x direction during free vibration, while the amplitude remains unchanged, as shown in Figure 13 As shown in the figure, the increase of the rounded corner at the bottom of the rectangular container has little effect on the total sloshing force of the liquid in the y direction during free vibration, but it will cause the period of the sloshing force acting on the container bottom to be prolonged.

[0129] Compared with the prior art, the nonlinear liquid sloshing proportional boundary finite element numerical simulation method described in the above embodiments has the following advantages: the prior art numerical analysis method has the following limitations when facing a rolling excitation: the calculation process is inconvenient, the prediction accuracy and efficiency are low, and the engineering applicability is limited. The process of the present application is simple and convenient to operate. The semi-Lagrangian method is used to track the motion of the liquid free surface, the nonlinear sloshing motion equation under the pitch excitation is derived using the velocity potential, the nonlinear liquid sloshing model in the proportional coordinate system is created and the proportional boundary finite element system equation is solved, the second-order Runge-Kutta algorithm is used for time domain solving to ensure accurate time updating of physical variables and their gradients, the control equation and boundary conditions are simplified into second-order ordinary differential equations using the weighted residual method, the free surface elevation change is obtained by solving the equation, and the fluid dynamic pressure on the liquid container is calculated using Bernoulli's equation, thereby reducing the calculation cost of the liquid motion characteristics under the rolling action, and effectively improving the prediction accuracy and calculation efficiency of the numerical simulation.
