Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wet motor technology, and in particular to a method for calculating the oil friction torque of a wet motor that takes into account flow state and roughness. Background Technology
[0002] Wet-type motors possess advantages such as lubrication compensation, thermal conductivity, and pressure balance. Their applications continue to expand in fields like aerospace and deep-sea development. However, because wet-type motors are filled with an oil-based medium, the viscosity of which is higher than that of a gaseous medium. This results in significant oil friction torque due to shear stress on the rotor walls within the gaps, leading to a substantial increase in the proportion of oil friction torque in mechanical losses under high-speed operating conditions. Therefore, predicting and mitigating this friction torque based on the motor's structure and operating parameters has become a critical challenge in the field of motor design and operation.
[0003] Currently, there are numerous reference models for calculating the torque or loss of oil friction in wet-type motors, mainly focusing on motor structural parameters and drive parameters. However, current research on the Taylor-Couette flow pattern in fluid mechanics and on the morphology of objects in materials science introduces errors into these models. Firstly, existing models generally classify flow states into laminar and turbulent flows. However, cutting-edge research in fluid mechanics reveals that the evolution of actual Taylor-Couette flows involves rich flow structures, which can introduce errors. Secondly, existing models often rely on a surface roughness height coefficient, determined based on empirical values. However, cutting-edge research in materials science shows that different surface roughness heights alter the boundary layer hydraulic flow state, and this equivalent roughness height is determined by the surface morphology parameters. Therefore, considering the evolution of flow structures and obtaining the equivalent roughness height is crucial in calculating oil friction torque. Furthermore, CFD numerical calculation methods for the stator-rotor clearance of motors do not yield highly accurate results. Therefore, boundary layer mesh generation and rotation of the turbulence model are essential. Summary of the Invention

[0061] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0062] This embodiment provides a method for calculating the oil friction torque of a wet-type motor that considers flow regime and roughness. It takes into account four typical flow regimes of the Taylor-Cooette flow regime existing in the stator-rotor gap region of the motor and incorporates a new model for establishing equivalent roughness heights for the stator and rotor. The establishment of the analytical model includes 3 main steps and 12 sub-steps, such as... Figure 1 As shown. The three main steps include: S1, a modeling method for the equivalent roughness height of the motor gap surface; S2, a CFD-based method for calculating the flow domain of the motor gap; and S3, an analytical modeling method for oil friction torque based on flow regime and roughness.
[0063] The method S1 for modeling the equivalent roughness height of the motor clearance surface includes four sub-steps:
[0064] Step S10:

[0081] Where the fitting coefficient in the above equation R 2 =0.99241, proving the accuracy of the fit. This formula is applicable to surfaces involved in the stator and rotor clearance of the motor. The absolute error is obtained by comparing this formula with the experimental values measured in the references, as shown in Table 2. k sa The fitted value is the equivalent roughness height model from the literature. k sp The values represent the experimental roughness values from the literature. The maximum absolute error of this model is 7.20%, demonstrating its accuracy.

[0083] The CFD-based method S2 for calculating the motor gap flow domain includes four sub-steps:
[0084] Step S20:
[0085] Based on the actual stator inner diameter of the motor R s Rotor outer diameter R r Gap width d g = R s - R r Circumferential length L a radius ratio or = R r / R s , length-to-diameter ratio Г= La / d g A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was established to represent the gap between the stator and rotor of the motor. Based on the characteristics of the complete Taylor vortex pattern, translational boundary conditions were set in the axial direction (with the number of periods consistent with the existing DNS value of Г=3.1), and rotational boundary conditions were set in the circumferential direction (with 20 periods). Figure 2 As shown. The boundary conditions are set as follows: rotor rotating wall 100, stator stationary wall 101, rotational period boundary 102, and translational period boundary 103. The equivalent roughness height model proposed in this invention is set on the rotor rotating wall 100 and the stator stationary wall 101 using a user-defined function.
[0086] Step S21:
[0087] During radial mesh generation, the flow channel contraction theory is adopted, and the virtual wall displacement method is used to move the wall to half of the equivalent roughness height. y + = y + + k s + / 2, where k s + This is the equivalent roughness height Reynolds number. Therefore, the thickness of the first mesh layer is Δ. h Need to be greater than k s + / 2. To ensure that the first mesh layer is located in the viscous sublayer of boundary layer 104, the height of the first mesh layer of boundary layer 104 between the rotor rotating wall 100 and the stator stationary wall 101 must satisfy 1 ≤ y + ≤5.
[0088] Step S22:
[0089] Design 8 sets of mesh node division schemes, in the axial direction ( N z ), Zhou Xiang ( N θ ) and radial ( N r An increasing sequence is used, and dimensionless torque is selected.

Starting with scheme 7, G and No ω The volatility decreased to 0.47%, indicating that the scheme achieved a balance between computational efficiency and result accuracy. Therefore, scheme 7 was adopted for the mesh generation of subsequent numerical calculations.

[0094] The S3 method for analytical modeling oil friction torque based on flow regime and roughness includes four sub-steps:
[0095] Step S30:
[0096] For a TC system with a smooth surface and constant temperature, the driving intensity of the system gradually increases with the continuous increase of the inner rotor speed. During this process, the flow state within the TC system changes from Couet flow to a turbulent state containing Taylor-Couet flows of varying development stages. Based on the flow characteristics, the flow states during this development process can be divided into four categories, and the rotor friction torque derived from this also has four forms:
[0097] ① Kuet flow
[0098] when The When the velocity is sufficiently small, the flow is in a purely azimuthal laminar state. At this point, due to the conservation of radial angular momentum, the tangential velocity... u φ ( r Radial position only rThe function, independent of f and z And the other two velocity components u r ( r )and u z ( r All are 0. Substituting the above conditions into the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations yields a second-order linear differential equation, the solution of which is:
[0099]
[0100] Simultaneously, by incorporating the boundary conditions of the Taylor-Couet system and applying Newton's law of internal friction, the frictional torque on the infinitesimal element of the rotor surface is obtained. t r Integrating this value over the rotor surface, the total frictional torque on the rotor surface under laminar flow conditions is obtained. T CFR :
[0101]
[0102] ②Laminar flow
[0103] When the driving force of the system is very small, energy transfer is limited by the laminar boundary layer. At this point, the boundary layer remains laminar, but the mainstream region becomes turbulent and exhibits spatiotemporally stable Taylor vortices. The and No ω The relationship between them satisfies the scaling power law ( α (Scaling factor for different TC systems under low-drive flow conditions) No ω -1~ The 1 / 3+α ,Right now No ω -1= aTa 1 / 3+α ( f (This refers to the offset coefficient of the function). Combining this with the parameters defined above, the oil friction torque under laminar flow conditions can be derived. T LR for:
[0104]
[0105] ③Classical Transient Flow
[0106] As the driving intensity is further increased, the flow regime within the boundary layer gradually changes from laminar to turbulent. At this point, the spatiotemporally stable Taylor vortices are disrupted, and the Taylor vortex flow state transitions to a modulated Taylor vortex state, resulting in its time dependence. In this transitional state, hairpin vortices (considered plumes in Rayleigh-Bénard flows) are ejected from the inner and outer cylinders, and these vortices contribute to the formation of large-scale mainstream structures. These structures, in turn, generate axial pressure gradients and couple back into the boundary layer, causing plumes to be ejected back to nearby locations. The and No ω The relationship between them satisfies the scaling power law ( β (Scaling factor for different Taylor-Couette flow systems under transitional flow conditions) No ω ~ The 1 / 3+β ,Right now No ω = bTa 1 / 3+β ( g (This refers to the offset coefficient of the function). Combining the parameters defined above, the oil friction torque under low-drive flow conditions can be derived. T CTR for:
[0107]
[0108] ④Limited turbulent flow state
[0109] When the driving force of the system is sufficiently large, the boundary layer becomes fully turbulent, and the system enters the so-called limiting flow state. The Taylor-Couet flow system with stator-rotor clearance in a motor exhibits... or →1 indicates a small gap characteristic, resulting in relatively less disruption to flow continuity. Therefore, the scaling exponent of the limiting flow state or the transitional flow state close to the limiting flow state has a significant impact on the flow's continuity. or The dependence on [the value of] is relatively weak, meaning that it exhibits a similar scaling power law under different stator and rotor size parameters. At this point... The and No ω The relationship between them satisfies the scaling power law ( c (Scaling factor for different Taylor-Couette flow systems under transitional flow conditions) No ω ~ The 0.39+γ ,Right now No ω = cTa 0.39+γ ( h (This refers to the offset coefficient of the function). Combining the parameters defined above, the oil friction torque under low-drive flow conditions can be derived. T UTR for:
[0110]
[0111] Because the critical Taylor number for flow regime transition varies among Taylor-Couette flow systems with different characteristics, studies have found that increasing the radius ratio will advance the flow regime transition. Therefore, the critical Taylor number for flow regime transition needs to be determined based on the system under study; here, we assume that they are respectively... The c1 , The c2 and The c3 .
[0112] Step S31:
[0113] When fluid flows over a series of densely distributed rough elements, most of the fluid between the rough elements is trapped, forming streamlined, closed, small vortices. A small portion of the fluid above the rough elements is trapped and added to these vortices. There is only a small amount of momentum exchange and virtually no mass exchange between the trapped fluid and the flowing fluid. The fluid trapped by the rough elements acts as a blockage in the flow, equivalent to reducing the cross-sectional area of the flow channel. The flow channel contraction theory has been well proven, especially for flows with rough walls that satisfy… e / D h,cf Under the condition of ≤0.05 (which meets the condition of the motor stator-rotor gap flow channel characteristics), this theory has a more obvious modeling advantage (wherein, e For surface roughness, D h,cf (To reduce the hydraulic diameter). Therefore, this invention proposes a correction method for the analytical calculation of oil friction of the geometric parameters and driving parameters of the Taylor-Couet flow system based on the above-mentioned influencing factors: extending the actual wall surface in the direction of the flow domain. k s / 2 length, that is, the stator extends radially inward. k ss / 2 length and the rotor extends radially outward. k sr The length is 2 / 2 to account for the influence of the flow channel contraction theory caused by the combined effects of pressure and viscous forces. The existing parameters are corrected using the above method: a) Stator inner radius. R se =R s - k ss / 2; b) Rotor outer radius R se =R r - k sr / 2; c) Gap width d ge = Rse - R re d) Radius ratio or e = R re / R se e) Aspect ratio Г e = L a / d ge f) Reynolds number Re re = R re oh r d ge / ν;g) Taylor number The e =(1+ or e ) 4 (64 or e 2 ) -1 d ge 2 ( R se + R re ) 2 oh r 2 ν -2 .
[0114] Step S32:
[0115] The oil friction torque was derived based on the corrected relevant parameters. T AC subscript i , j and k The codes represent three types of rotor surfaces: 1 for metal sheath, 2 for carbon fiber sheath, and 3 for 0.1mm iron core.
[0116]
[0117] Step S33:
[0118] For the latter three types of Taylor-Couette turbulent flows within the stator-rotor gap of the motor, the scaling factor cannot be obtained analytically. Using the CFD numerical calculation method proposed in this invention, the aforementioned power-law relationship is fitted, as shown in Table 4. Based on the data in this table, the oil friction torque of the motor can be accurately calculated.
