Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of thermal-fluid coupled topology optimization, and in particular to a thermal-fluid coupled topology optimization method, apparatus, equipment, medium and product. Background Technology

[0002] Composite materials possess advantages such as high specific strength, specific modulus, and structural designability; however, their final cured quality is highly sensitive to the temperature field during molding. Autoclave molding is currently an important method for fabricating composite components in the aerospace field. Frame molds are the main tooling for autoclave molding, with large-curvature frame molds typically used for molding curved panels on composite fuselages. Under forced convection heating conditions in the autoclave, the hot gas flow first undergoes convective heat transfer with auxiliary materials and the frame mold, while the temperature rise of the composite component mainly depends on the heat conduction of the auxiliary materials (absorbent felt, breathable felt, vacuum bags, etc.) and the surface of the frame mold.

[0003] To ensure the geometric accuracy of composite material components, frame molds typically require numerous support plates to guarantee mold rigidity. However, although these support plates often incorporate temperature equalization holes and ventilation holes to create airflow channels, the complex support frame often results in uneven flow velocity distribution within these channels. Locally lower flow velocities lead to reduced local convective heat transfer intensity and uneven spatial distribution, causing temperature variations across the mold surface. This further contributes to uneven temperature distribution in the composite material components, resulting in asynchronous curing and ultimately reduced component quality. Therefore, designing a reasonable mold structure and creating suitable airflow channels to improve the temperature uniformity of the frame mold surface is crucial for enhancing the curing quality of composite material components. The temperature uniformity of frame molds used in autoclave molding of composite materials significantly impacts the molding quality. However, some existing optimization methods suffer from issues such as indirectly improving mold temperature uniformity through empirical design and sacrificing rigidity design parameters to enhance temperature uniformity. Therefore, a heat-fluid coupling topology optimization method is urgently needed to improve mold temperature uniformity while ensuring mold rigidity. Summary of the Invention

The optimization objective is to maximize the average temperature of the plate surface, and the volume fraction of fluid and the energy dissipation generated by fluid flow are used as constraints to construct a thermal-fluid coupled topology optimization finite element model.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Currently, there are several methods for optimizing the temperature field of composite material autoclave frame molds: First, by adding heat-conducting fins with high thermal conductivity in the low-temperature region of the mold, the convective heat transfer efficiency between the mold and the hot airflow is improved, reducing the temperature gradient of the mold. However, this empirical design significantly increases auxiliary structures, making installation difficult, and it cannot achieve global optimization, resulting in limited improvement in temperature uniformity. Second, a genetic algorithm is used to parameterize the mold's geometric features to optimize the mold structure, effectively improving the temperature uniformity. However, this method is sensitive to parameter selection and has a high degree of randomness; furthermore, it does not consider the impact of parameter changes on mold stiffness. Third, a stiffness-based topology optimization method is used, taking mold stiffness as the objective function and indirectly improving mold temperature uniformity by constraining the volume fraction of the support plate to change the shape and size of the ventilation holes. However, this structural topology optimization method cannot directly use temperature uniformity as the objective function, belonging to a semi-empirical design, making it difficult to guarantee the positive impact of the optimization results on temperature uniformity. Furthermore, the optimized structure is usually complex and difficult to manufacture. Based on this, this application provides a heat-fluid coupling topology optimization method. In an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a heat-fluid coupling topology optimization method is provided, including: Step 201: Construct the geometric model of the composite material autoclave molding frame mold; the geometric model includes a mold plate and a support frame, the support frame being used to support the mold plate, and the support frame having temperature equalization holes and ventilation holes. The mold plate is a large curvature mold plate, and the support plates of the support frame are distributed intersectingly along the length and width directions.

[0032] Step 202: Fill the temperature equalization holes and ventilation holes opened on the support frame in the geometric model to obtain the thermal-fluid coupling topology optimization geometric model.

[0033] Step 203: Mesh the thermal-fluid coupled topology optimization geometric model, set the governing equations and boundary conditions, and take the filled support frame in the thermal-fluid coupled topology optimization geometric model as the design domain and the plate as the non-design domain. Take the maximum average temperature of the plate surface as the optimization objective, and take the volume fraction of fluid and the energy dissipation generated by fluid flow as constraints to construct a thermal-fluid coupled topology optimization finite element model.

[0034] Step 204: Perform finite element analysis on the thermal-fluid coupled topology optimization finite element model to obtain the thermal-fluid coupled topology optimization results.

[0035] In another exemplary embodiment of this application, after performing finite element analysis on the thermal-fluid coupling topology optimization finite element model to obtain the thermal-fluid coupling topology optimization result, the method further includes: reconstructing the geometric model based on the thermal-fluid coupling topology optimization result to obtain a reconstructed geometric model; and manufacturing a composite material autoclave molding frame mold based on the reconstructed geometric model.

[0036] In practical applications, step 203 specifically involves: dividing the thermal-fluid coupled topology optimization geometric model into a finite element hexahedral mesh; using the mold plate as the non-design domain for topology optimization and the filled support frame as the design domain for topology optimization; selecting the average temperature of the mold plate surface as the optimization objective, and selecting the energy dissipation generated by fluid flow and the fluid volume fraction in the filled support frame region as constraints; setting boundary conditions based on the fluid flow and temperature distribution during the heating process of the frame mold; and finally performing thermal-fluid coupled topology optimization.

[0037] In another exemplary embodiment of this application, the governing equations are: the Navier-Stokes equations and the energy conservation equations.

[0038] In another exemplary embodiment of this application, the boundary conditions include: boundary conditions of the inlet of the composite material autoclave molding frame mold, boundary conditions of the outlet, boundary conditions of the template, and boundary conditions of the remaining outer wall surfaces of the mold. Setting the boundary conditions specifically includes: given the temperature and velocity of the inlet of the composite material autoclave molding frame mold, obtaining the boundary conditions of the inlet of the composite material autoclave molding frame mold.

[0039] The wall condition of the outlet of the composite material autoclave molding frame mold is set to be adiabatic, i.e. the heat flux is zero, and the pressure of the outlet of the composite material autoclave molding frame mold is given to obtain the boundary condition of the outlet of the composite material autoclave molding frame mold.

[0040] Given the heat source distribution of the composite material autoclave molding frame mold plate, the boundary conditions of the composite material autoclave molding frame mold plate are obtained.

[0041] Given the flow velocity and heat flux of the outer wall surface of the composite material autoclave molding frame mold, excluding the outer wall surface corresponding to the mold inlet and outlet, the boundary conditions of the remaining outer wall surface of the mold are obtained.

[0042] In another exemplary embodiment of this application, the pressure at the outlet is 0.

[0043] In another exemplary embodiment of this application, the temperature equalization hole is semi-circular.

[0044] This application also provides a more specific embodiment, which details the above-described heat-fluid coupling topology optimization method, specifically including: S1, as... Figure 2As shown, a geometric model of a composite material autoclave molding frame mold is created.

[0045] The geometric model provided in this application mainly consists of a mold plate 1 and a support frame 2. The support frame 2 is composed of multiple support plates that are evenly distributed in a cross pattern along the length and width of the frame mold. Semi-circular temperature equalization holes 3 and ventilation holes 4 are opened on the support frame 2.

[0046] S2, such as Figure 3 As shown, a thermal-fluid coupled topology optimization geometric model is created.

[0047] The thermal-fluid coupling topology optimization geometric model consists of two parts: a template 1 and a filled support frame 5. The template 1 in S1 is kept unchanged, and all holes in the envelope of the region where the support frame 2 is located are filled to obtain the filled support frame 5.

[0048] S3, such as Figure 4 As shown, a thermal-fluid coupled topology optimization finite element model is created.

[0049] Finite element hexahedral meshes were generated for the thermal-fluid coupling topology optimization geometric model in S2; plate 1 was used as the non-design domain for topology optimization, and the filled support frame 5 was used as the design domain for topology optimization. The governing equations, boundary conditions, optimization objectives, and constraints were determined based on the working environment and design requirements of the mold.

[0050] The mold is placed in an autoclave, and the main heat transfer mechanisms are forced convection and heat conduction. Due to the obstruction of the mold support frame 1, the flow velocity distribution within the channel is often uneven, resulting in uneven spatial distribution of convective heat transfer intensity and thus causing temperature distribution differences on the mold surface. This application focuses on optimizing the temperature uniformity of the mold during the heating stage, using the Navier-Stokes equation and energy conservation equation to control the flow and heat transfer performance of the mold. Maximizing the average temperature of the mold plate 1 surface is selected as the optimization objective, and convergence is considered when the change in the objective function value is less than 1%. To ensure the engineering feasibility of the optimized structure, the energy dissipation generated by the fluid flow needs to be used as a constraint. During the optimization process, the fluid volume fraction in the filled support frame 5 region also needs to be constrained.

[0051] In addition, the boundary conditions for the governing equations of this finite element model are set as follows: 1) The mold inlet is set as a velocity inlet with a given temperature (453K) and velocity (0.1m / s); the outlet is set as a pressure outlet with a given heat flux and pressure of zero.

[0052] 2) The mold plate has a non-uniformly distributed heat source. The heat source gradually decreases along the length of the mold. The mold plate is divided by the support frame, and there are non-uniform heat sources Q1:Q2:Q3:Q4:Q5:Q6:Q7=1:2:3:4:5:6:7; where Q1=1e8W / m 3 .

[0053] 3) The remaining boundaries of the mold are set to no slip and no thermal insulation boundary conditions, that is, the flow rate and heat flux are both zero.

[0054] S4. After passing through S1 to S3, the thermal-fluid coupling topology optimization result of the frame mold is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the optimized airflow channel configuration is obtained, and the reconstructed model is obtained based on the optimization results. Figure 6 As shown, based on the obtained optimized airflow channel configuration, a novel frame-type mold structure with a "rectifier plate" is proposed. The innovation of this mold lies in stretching the dividing lines in the optimized airflow channel along the thickness direction to form a thin-walled "rectifier plate". The "rectifier plate" can be obtained by 3D printing using low-density and low-specific-heat-capacity materials.

[0055] S5. Compare the temperature uniformity of the original mold and the optimized mold during the heating stage in the autoclave.

[0056] 1) Create a mesh model of the autoclave-frame mold coupling.

[0057] like Figure 7 As shown, the commercial finite element software Fluent was used to calculate the temperature field of the frame mold. First, the finite element preprocessing software HyperMesh was used to mesh the surface of the autoclave-frame mold coupled model. The model surface mesh was divided into five parts: inlet, outlet, autoclave wall, mold surface, and other mold structures. Then, the Meshing module in Fluent was used to mesh the volume, dividing the model into solid and fluid regions. The Body of Influence (BOI) method was used to locally refine the mesh in the vicinity of the frame mold to improve the calculation accuracy.

[0058] 2) Create a coupled calculation model of autoclave-frame mold.

[0059] like Figure 8 As shown, a coupled model of an autoclave and frame mold was created using the Solution module in Fluent. Based on the working principle and actual process of autoclave molding, corresponding boundary conditions were set. A constant airflow velocity and inflow gas temperature were set at the autoclave inlet 6 to match the curing temperature curve. A static pressure of 0 was set at the autoclave outlet 7, and an adiabatic boundary condition was applied. The autoclave wall 8 was set to a no-slip condition and an adiabatic boundary condition.

[0060] 3) Create a temperature distribution cloud map of the mold surface at the end of the heating process.

[0061] The calculation results are post-processed using Fluent's post-processing function to obtain a temperature distribution cloud map of the mold surface at the end of the heating process. The temperature uniformity is measured based on the maximum and minimum temperature differences.

[0062] This application fills all the holes within the envelope of the support frame of the frame mold, and uses the filled support structure as a thermal-fluid coupling topology optimization design domain. By selecting appropriate governing equations and boundary conditions, the airflow state and temperature distribution of the frame mold at the moment of maximum temperature difference in the autoclave are characterized. By changing the fluid volume fraction and energy dissipation, different forms of rectifier plates can be obtained, which can improve the convective heat transfer efficiency between the frame mold and the airflow in the autoclave to varying degrees. By retaining the support frame of the frame mold and without changing the rigidity of the reconstructed mold, the temperature uniformity of the reconstructed mold is improved by 19.1% compared with the original mold, which significantly improves the temperature uniformity of the frame mold.
