Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooling tower design technology, and more specifically to a method for applying loads to a cooling tower model. Background Technology
[0002] Natural draft indirect air-cooled tower systems have been widely used in coal-rich but water-scarce thermal power plants due to their significant water-saving advantages. Steel structure cooling towers, with their high strength, lightweight design, fast construction speed, good seismic performance, and low construction costs, are becoming increasingly widely used.
[0003] Despite the numerous advantages of hyperbolic steel cooling towers, several significant challenges remain in their structural design. In the pre-design phase, software load application is typically employed. Taking wind load calculation as an example, according to relevant load specifications, loads need to be calculated and applied in separate zones: first, a zone model is established; then, wind tunnel simulation is performed on the model; subsequently, formula fitting is performed using the simulation results; finally, the concentrated loads for each zone are obtained. However, when calculating multiple zones, the above steps must be repeated multiple times to obtain the concentrated loads for each zone, resulting in a large workload and significant difficulties in the early stages of structural design. Summary of the Invention

Step S5: Based on the area centroid coordinates of each plate unit and the plane angle between each plate unit and the direct wind direction, calculate the standard value of the wind load for each plate unit. Step S6: Adjacent plate units are combined to form a load-bearing unit, and the standard value of the unit wind load on the surface of the multiple plate units is converted into the nodal concentrated load of the load-bearing unit. Step S7: Calculate the concentrated loads at the nodes of all stressed elements, apply the calculated concentrated loads at the nodes of all stressed elements to the calculation model, and complete the generation of the cooling tower model.
[0006] Beneficial effects: This method modularizes the building envelope and uses a combination of vertex coordinates of plate elements and spatial vector methods to quickly calculate the standard wind load value of each plate element through vertex coordinates. By combining different plate elements, the standard wind load value of the plate element is directly converted into the nodal concentrated load of the stress-bearing elements in different zones. This eliminates the need for repeated modeling experiments, improves design speed, and shortens the design period.

Step S53: Calculate the standard value of wind load for each plate unit based on the wind pressure height variation coefficient and the average wind pressure distribution coefficient.
[0010] Beneficial effects: The wind pressure height variation coefficient and average wind pressure distribution coefficient can be obtained solely from the area centroid coordinates of the plate element, realizing the integration of key wind load parameters. This eliminates the need for additional complex parameter input or zonal testing, simplifies the calculation process, and significantly improves the efficiency and convenience of wind load calculation.
[0011] In one alternative implementation, the standard value of the wind load is... In step S53, the method for obtaining the standard value of the wind load for each plate unit is as follows: ; in, For wind gust coefficient, Inter-tower interference coefficient, This is the basic wind pressure; The average wind pressure distribution coefficient; This is the wind pressure height variation coefficient.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The circumferential wind pressure distribution is expressed in the form of a cosine series, which fits the nonlinear change of the circumferential wind pressure of the cooling tower, and can be adapted to different tower types by adjusting different coefficients.
[0015] In an optional implementation, step S6, converting the standard values of the element wind loads on the surfaces of the plurality of plate elements into the nodal concentrated loads of the stressed elements, includes the following steps: By sequentially connecting the centroids of the areas of multiple plate units to the midpoints of their adjacent sides, each plate unit is projected onto the XY plane to form a polygon. The area of each polygon is obtained by using the vertex coordinates and area centroid coordinates of the plate element; The concentrated loads at the nodes of a stressed element can be obtained using the following expressions: ; Among them, Q NiHere, m represents the concentrated load at the nodes of the load-bearing element, and m is the number of plate elements that make up the load-bearing element. i The area of the polygon obtained within each plate unit. Standard wind load values for each plate unit.
[0016] Beneficial effects: By connecting the centroid of the area with the midpoint of the edge to form a polygon, the wind load is distributed according to the area ratio. The load equivalent conversion accuracy is high and the distribution is uniform. It is consistent with the actual force transmission path of the purlin structure and the nodal load application is more reasonable.
[0017] In one alternative implementation, the polygons obtained by projecting each plate unit onto the XY plane are triangles and / or quadrilaterals.
[0018] In an optional implementation, the plate unit has multiple vertices, and in step S3, the method for determining the area centroid coordinates of each plate unit in the cooling tower model is to take the arithmetic mean of the three-dimensional coordinates of all vertices of each plate unit.

[0027] The following is combined Figures 1 to 13 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.
[0028] Example 1 In this embodiment, a method for applying loads to a cooling tower model is provided, referring to... Figure 1 As shown, the steps include: Step S1: Determine the plate units 121 of the enclosure structure 12. Multiple plate units 121 are provided. Step S2: Using the bottom center of the cooling tower model 10 as the reference origin, establish an XYZ three-dimensional coordinate system to obtain the vertex coordinates of each plate unit 121 in the cooling tower model 10. Step S3: Determine the area centroid coordinates of each plate unit 121 in the cooling tower model 10 based on the vertex coordinates of the plate unit 121. Step S4: Based on the area centroid coordinates of plate unit 121, determine the projection quadrant of the area centroid of each plate unit 121 on the XY plane, and obtain the plane angle between each plate unit 121 and the direct blowing direction. Step S5: Based on the area centroid coordinates of each plate unit 121 and the plane angle between each plate unit 121 and the direct wind direction, calculate the standard value of the wind load for each plate unit 121. Step S6: Multiple adjacent plate elements 121 are combined to form a load-bearing element, and the standard value of the unit wind load on the surface of the multiple plate elements 121 is converted into the nodal concentrated load of the load-bearing element. Step S7: Calculate the concentrated loads at the nodes of all stressed elements, apply the calculated concentrated loads at the nodes of all stressed elements to the calculation model, and complete the generation of cooling tower model 10.
[0029] By applying the cooling tower model load application method of this embodiment, the enclosure structure 12 is unitized. By combining the vertex coordinates of the plate element 121 with the spatial vector method, the standard value of wind load of each plate element 121 is quickly calculated through the vertex coordinates of the plate element 121. By combining different plate elements 121, the standard value of wind load of the plate element 121 is directly converted into the nodal concentrated load of the stress unit in different zones. There is no need to repeat modeling experiments, which improves the design speed and shortens the design period.
[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the cooling tower model 10 includes a purlin structure 11 and an enclosure structure 12. The laying direction of the enclosure structure 12 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the purlin structure 11. In step S1, the plate unit 121 of the enclosure structure 12 is determined according to the actual span and spacing of the purlin structure 11.
[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the plate unit 121 is provided in multiple layers, with multiple units in each layer. To facilitate the differentiation of the plate unit 121, the plate unit 121 of the enclosure structure 12 is named P. ij , where i corresponds to the i-th layer of plate unit 121, and j corresponds to the j-th block of plate unit 121 in the clockwise direction along the central axis of cooling tower model 10.
[0032] It is worth noting that the dimensions of plate unit 121 are determined based on the actual span and spacing of the purlins. The division of plate unit 121 matches the actual structure, and the load application position is accurate, which is more in line with the stress characteristics of steel structure cooling towers.
[0033] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the polygons obtained by the projection of plate element 121 onto the XY plane are all quadrilaterals.
[0034] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the plate unit 121 has four vertices. In step S3, the method to determine the area centroid coordinates of each plate unit 121 in the cooling tower model 10 is to take the arithmetic mean of the three-dimensional coordinates of all vertices of each plate unit 121.
[0035] Specifically, taking a single plate element 121 as an example, the four vertices of the quadrilateral plate element 121 are denoted as N1(x1, y1, z1), N2(x2, y2, z2), N3(x3, y3, z3), and N4(x4, y4, z4), respectively. The coordinates of the centroid of the area of this plate element 121 are N. ij (x) ij y ij , z ij ), where x ij = (x1 + x2 + x3 + x4) / 4, y ij = (y1+y2+y3+y4) / 4, z ij = (z1+z2+z3+z4) / 4.
[0036] In this embodiment, the plane angle between the plate unit 121 and the direct airflow direction is θ. In step S4, the method for obtaining the plane angle between each plate unit 121 and the direct airflow direction is as follows: When the centroid of the area is projected into the first quadrant. = ; When the area centroid is projected into the second quadrant. = ; When the centroid of the area is projected into the third quadrant = ; When the centroid of the area is projected into the third quadrant = ; when When θ = 0, θ is 90°; in, The x-axis coordinate of the centroid of the area. The Y-axis coordinate is the coordinate of the centroid of the area.
[0037] It is worth noting that by determining the quadrant of the area centroid projection of plate unit 121 and combining it with the arctangent formula to calculate the wind direction angle in segments, the solution can be automatically solved in a programmed manner, with high accuracy and high reliability in angle calculation.
[0038] In this embodiment, step S5 specifically includes: Step S51: Determine the wind pressure height variation coefficient based on the area centroid coordinates of each plate unit 121; Step S52: Determine the average wind pressure distribution coefficient based on the plane angle between each plate unit 121 and the direct wind direction. Step S53: Calculate the standard value of wind load for each plate unit 121 based on the wind pressure height variation coefficient and the average wind pressure distribution coefficient.
[0039] It is worth noting that the wind pressure height variation coefficient and the average wind pressure distribution coefficient can be obtained solely from the area centroid coordinates of plate element 121, realizing the integration of key wind load parameters. This eliminates the need for additional complex parameter input or zonal testing, simplifies the calculation process, and significantly improves the efficiency and convenience of wind load calculation.
[0040] Specifically, the standard value of wind load is In step S53, the method for obtaining the standard value of wind load for each plate unit 121 is as follows: ; in, For wind gust coefficient, Inter-tower interference coefficient, This is the basic wind pressure; The average wind pressure distribution coefficient; This is the wind pressure height variation coefficient.
[0041] It should be noted that the wind gust coefficient Inter-tower interference coefficient Basic wind pressure All of these are fixed when the project is determined, and therefore can be regarded as constants and invariants; The average wind pressure distribution coefficient is related to the area described in the enclosure structure 12 of the cooling tower model 10 and the angle of the direct wind direction; This is the wind pressure height variation coefficient, which varies with the height of the cooling tower.
[0042] In this embodiment, the method for determining the wind pressure height variation coefficient in step S51 is as follows: ; in, The Z-axis coordinate is the coordinate of the centroid of the area.
[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cooling tower model 10 has a ground roughness of type B, and the wind pressure height variation coefficient is only related to the height of the loaded area.
[0044] It should be noted that in other alternative implementations, other types of ground roughness can be used depending on the actual situation. For example, when the ground roughness is Class A, When the roughness is of type C, When the surface roughness is Class D, .
[0045] In this embodiment, the method for determining the average wind pressure distribution coefficient in step S52 is as follows: = ; Wherein, θ is the plane angle between plate unit 121 and the direct airflow direction. is a coefficient.
[0046] It should be noted that, Related to the enclosure structure 12 of the cooling tower model 10, in this application, the plate type of the enclosure structure 12 has been determined and can be considered as... The value is a constant, m=7.
[0047] Specifically, in this application, at locations on the outer surface of the cooling tower model 10 where there are no ribs, the plate element P... ij Average wind pressure distribution coefficient at location = + + + + + + + .
[0048] It is worth noting that the circumferential wind pressure distribution is expressed in the form of a cosine series, and the nonlinear change of the circumferential wind pressure of the cooling tower is fitted. Different tower types are adapted by adjusting different coefficients.
[0049] In this embodiment, step S6 converts the standard values of the element wind loads on the surfaces of the multiple plate elements 121 into the nodal concentrated loads of the stressed elements, including the following steps: By sequentially connecting the centroids of the areas of multiple plate elements 121 with the midpoints of their adjacent sides, a polygon is obtained on the projection of each plate element 121 onto the XY plane. The area of each polygon is obtained by using the vertex coordinates and area centroid coordinates of plate element 121. The concentrated loads at the nodes of a stressed element can be obtained using the following expressions: ; Among them, Q Ni The nodal concentrated load of the load-bearing element is m, where m is the number of plate elements 121 that make up the load-bearing element, and A is the number of plate elements 121 that make up the load-bearing element. i The area of the polygon obtained within each plate unit 121, Standard wind load values for each plate unit 121.
[0050] It is worth noting that by connecting the centroid of the area with the midpoint of the edge to form a polygon, the wind load is distributed according to the area ratio. The load equivalent conversion accuracy is high and the distribution is uniform. It is consistent with the actual force transmission path of the purlin structure 11, and the nodal load application is more reasonable.
[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, four adjacent plate units 121 are selected to form a force-bearing unit, and the four plate units 121 are respectively P ij P i(j+1) P (i-1)j P (i-1)(j+1) The area centroid N of the four plate elements 121 is obtained respectively. ij N i(j+1) N (i-1)j and N (i-1)(j+1) Project the centroids of the four plate elements 121 onto the XY plane respectively, and refer to... Figures 4 to 7 The plane angle between each plate element 121 and the direct wind direction is calculated; the standard wind load values for the four plate elements 121 are as follows: , , , .
[0052] Specifically, by connecting the centroids of the areas of the four plate units 121 with the midpoints of their adjacent sides, four quadrilaterals can be obtained, with areas of A1, A2, A3, and A4 respectively.
[0053] Concentrated loads at the nodes of a load-bearing element consisting of four plate elements 121: Q Ni = + + + .
[0054] It should be noted that in the relevant technical schemes for determining the concentrated load of a zone, a zone model is first established; then, wind tunnel simulation is performed on the model; subsequently, formula fitting is performed using the simulation results; finally, the concentrated load of the zone is obtained. However, when calculating multiple zones, the above steps need to be repeated multiple times to obtain the concentrated load of different zones, which involves a large workload and makes the early stage of structural design very difficult.
[0055] Therefore, in the cooling tower model load application method of this embodiment, the enclosure structure 12 is unitized, and a calculation expression suitable for the concentrated load of the cooling tower model 10 is proposed. By combining the vertex coordinates of the plate element 121 with the spatial vector method, the standard value of the wind load of each plate element 121 is quickly calculated directly using the vertex coordinates of the plate element 121. By combining different plate elements 121, the standard value of the wind load of the plate element 121 is directly converted into the nodal concentrated load of the force-bearing element in different zones. There is no need to repeat the modeling experiment, which improves the design speed, shortens the design period, and facilitates the further development of subsequent design optimization work.

[0061] Furthermore, the board unit P ij The standard values of wind load are respectively =1.9×1.24×-0.448×2.21×0.5=-1.17kN / m 2 Similarly, the plate element P can be calculated. i(j+1) Standard value of wind load -0.964 N / m 2 Board unit P (i-1)j Standard value of wind load -1.16 N / m 2 Board unit P (i-1)(j+1) Standard value of wind load -0.954 N / m 2 .
[0062] Connecting the centroids of the four plate elements 121 to the midpoints of their adjacent sides yields four quadrilaterals, each with an area of A1 = 4.854 m². 2 A2 = 4.857m 2 A3 = 4.854m 2 A4 = 4.855m 2 .

[0064] After verification using relevant technical methods, the results of the concentrated load at the nodes of the stress unit are within the allowable error range.

Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in this embodiment, the polygon obtained by projecting the plate unit 121 onto the XY plane is a triangle. The triangular plate unit 121 has three vertices, and the coordinates of the centroid of the triangular plate unit 121 are N. ij (x) ij y ij , z ij ), where x ij = (x1 + x2 + x3) / 3, y ij =(y1+y2+y3) / 3,z ij = (z1+z2+z3) / 3.
