Methods, apparatus, equipment, media, and procedures for determining impeller hydraulic models
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410676963.7, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on May 29, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to the field of hydraulic design of high-pressure flushing pumps for trailing suction hopper dredgers, and for example to a method, apparatus, equipment, medium and program product for determining the impeller hydraulic model. Background Technology
[0003] High-pressure flushing pumps are typically installed on trailing suction hopper dredgers to assist dredging operations. These pumps operate in two main ways: first, by jetting water through the nozzles of the scraper head into the dredged sediment, loosening the soil, reducing the scraper head's cutting resistance, and liquefying the sediment to allow the pump to draw in high-concentration slurry; second, by flushing the sludge chamber, diluting the sediment at the bottom and assisting the pump in quickly emptying the chamber. These two operating methods may require two to four operating points, covering a wide range of operating conditions from minimum scraper flow to maximum sludge flow. Therefore, the hydraulic performance curve of the high-pressure flushing pump must cover a broad, high-efficiency operating range.
[0004] Currently, high-pressure flushing pumps are often designed to meet flow rate and head requirements, which can cause significant off-condition vibration or cavitation problems during the construction of trailing suction hopper dredgers. This results in poor hydraulic performance of the high-pressure flushing pumps, which in turn affects the economic benefits of dredging projects. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Figure 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining an impeller hydraulic model according to an embodiment of this application. This embodiment is applicable to the design of impellers for high-pressure flushing pumps in trailing suction hopper dredgers operating under multiple conditions. The method for determining an impeller hydraulic model provided in this embodiment can be executed by the device for determining the impeller hydraulic model provided in this embodiment. This device can be implemented through software and / or hardware and integrated into the electronic device executing this method.
[0038] Referring to Figure 1, the method of this embodiment includes, for example, the following steps:
[0039] S110. Construct a mathematical model for performance optimization of the high-pressure flushing pump in a trailing suction hopper dredger under multiple operating conditions.
[0040] A trailing suction hopper dredger is a large, self-propelled, bucket-type dredger equipped with a trailing hopper and a hydraulic suction system. The high-pressure water pump operates in two main modes: first, it jets water through the trailing hopper nozzles to loosen the soil, reducing cutting resistance and liquefying the mud, allowing the pump to draw in high-concentration slurry; second, it flushes the sludge chamber, diluting sediment at the bottom and assisting the pump in quickly emptying the chamber. Multiple operating conditions can include main flushing with the trailing hopper, main flushing of the sludge chamber, auxiliary flushing with the trailing hopper, and auxiliary flushing of the sludge chamber. The performance optimization mathematical model refers to the performance optimization requirements that the high-pressure water pump must meet under these multiple operating conditions, including efficiency requirements, shaft power requirements, and cavitation safety margin requirements.
[0041] In this embodiment, considering the efficiency, head, power, and net positive suction head (NPSH) requirements of the high-pressure flushing pump under multiple operating conditions, a performance optimization mathematical model is constructed to satisfy the multi-condition operation requirements of the high-pressure flushing pump. For example, the head H of the target construction condition is known. i (unit: meter (m)) and flow rate Q i (unit: cubic meters per second (m)) 3 / s)) requirements and power limit value P max (Unit: kilowatts (kW)) With efficiency as the main optimization objective, the efficiency requirement can be expressed by formula (1); with shaft power as the optimization objective, the shaft power requirement can be expressed by formula (2); with net positive suction head (NPSH) as the optimization objective, the critical NPSH with a 3% head reduction is used. 3% For the verification index, the cavitation safety margin requirement can be expressed by formula (3): η=Σα i η i =α1η1+α2η2+…+α n η n ≥85%, and η i ≥80% (i=1,2,…,n) (1) P i ≤P max (2) [NPSH] i =NPSH a,i -NPSH 3%,i ≥2 (3)
[0042] Where η is efficiency, in %; α is the weighting coefficient for the operating condition; P is shaft power, in kW; P max [NPSH] represents the power limit value in kW; [NPSH] represents the cavitation safety margin in meters. a NPSH is the net positive suction head (NPSH) of the unit, in meters (m). 3%The critical net positive suction head (NPSH) is defined as a 3% reduction in head, expressed in meters (m). The subscript i indicates the operating condition number among multiple operating conditions, with a maximum of n. This implementation uses n=4 (i.e., four operating conditions) as an example to explain the method for determining the impeller hydraulic model in this application.
[0043] Optionally, the weighting coefficients of multiple operating condition efficiency indicators are shown in Table 1 below. The table illustrates the weighting coefficients of four operating conditions under four different design schemes.
[0044] Table 1. Weighting coefficients of efficiency indicators under multiple operating conditions
[0045] S120. Determine the impeller's external parameters and the target speed of the impeller under the main operating condition based on the main operating parameters of the main operating condition among multiple operating conditions.
[0046] For example, determining the impeller's external parameters and target speed under the main operating condition based on the main operating parameters among multiple operating conditions includes: calculating the impeller's speed range under the main operating condition based on the impeller's specific speed and the main operating parameters; calculating the impeller's suction inlet diameter range based on the main operating parameters and the speed range; determining the impeller's suction inlet diameter from the suction inlet diameter range; and calculating the impeller's target speed under the main operating condition based on the suction inlet diameter and the main operating parameters.
[0047] External parameters include the impeller's suction inlet diameter. Specific speed refers to the rotational speed of a high-pressure flushing pump at its highest efficiency when the head is one meter and the flow rate is 0.075 cubic meters per second, denoted as n. s This implementation requires a specific speed n s The range is 80±5. This embodiment uses the main impact rake working condition as the main working condition.
[0048] In this embodiment of the application, based on the specific speed n s The design head and flow rate of the main impeller under the main impeller condition can be calculated using the following formula (4). The range of the impeller's suction inlet diameter D1 can be calculated using the velocity coefficient method based on the flow rate and speed range in the main operating parameters, as shown in formula (5). To improve cavitation performance, D1 is taken upward within the suction inlet diameter range, requiring it to be a multiple of 50, thus obtaining the value of D1. Based on formula (6), the target speed n1 of the impeller under the main operating condition can be obtained.
[0049] Where, n 区间 Indicates the range of rotational speeds; n s Indicates specific speed; H1 represents the head under main operating conditions; Q1 represents the flow rate under main operating conditions; D 区间 D1 represents the impeller's suction port diameter; n1 represents the target rotational speed.
[0050] Optionally, the external parameters also include the impeller outer diameter and the impeller blade outlet width. The impeller outer diameter and the impeller blade outlet width can be calculated based on the impeller inlet diameter. For example, the blade outer diameter D2 (in millimeters (mm)) is 2 to 2.3 times the impeller inlet diameter D1 (in mm), and the blade outlet width b2 (in mm) is 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the impeller inlet diameter D1.
[0051] S130. Determine the candidate impeller hydraulic model based on the external parameters, target speed, and impeller blade profile model.
[0052] For example, determining a candidate impeller hydraulic model based on external parameters, target rotational speed, and impeller blade profile model includes: using general techniques to determine the front and rear cover surfaces of the impeller based on external parameters and target rotational speed; determining candidate blade profile curves based on the impeller inlet diameter and blade profile model in the external parameters; and combining the front and rear cover surfaces of the impeller with the candidate blade profile curves to obtain the candidate impeller hydraulic model.
[0053] In this embodiment, the blade profile can be designed using a logarithmic spiral. The blade profile model can be expressed by formula (7):
[0054] Among them, R s θ is the distance from a point on the blade profile to the center of the circle; θ is the angle of the blade in the circumferential direction. D1 represents the blade wrap angle; D2 represents the impeller inlet diameter; D2 represents the blade outer diameter; k1 and k2 are coefficients. Multiple sets of parameters are obtained within the constraints of formula (7), namely (k1, k2, ...). This allows us to obtain multiple candidate blade profile curves corresponding to multiple sets of parameters.
[0055] S140. Based on the performance optimization mathematical model, select the target impeller hydraulic model from the candidate impeller hydraulic models under multiple operating conditions.
[0056] In some embodiments, before selecting the target impeller hydraulic model from candidate impeller hydraulic models under multiple operating conditions based on the performance optimization mathematical model, the method further includes: obtaining the volute flow channel design drawing and generating the volute flow channel curve using a general design method based on the impeller outer diameter, blade outlet width, main operating condition parameters (such as head and flow rate) and target speed.
[0057] For example, selecting a target impeller hydraulic model from candidate impeller hydraulic models under multiple operating conditions based on a performance optimization mathematical model includes: There are multiple candidate impeller hydraulic models; for the first impeller hydraulic model among the multiple candidate models, firstly, using general computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology, a high-pressure flushing pump is run based on the volute flow channel curve and the first impeller hydraulic model to determine the performance indicators of the high-pressure flushing pump under multiple operating conditions, such as efficiency, shaft power, and cavitation rate; then, it is determined whether the performance indicators under multiple operating conditions satisfy the performance optimization mathematical model; finally, if they satisfy the performance optimization mathematical model, the first impeller hydraulic model is determined as the target impeller hydraulic model; and this process is repeated for each candidate impeller hydraulic model among the multiple candidate models to obtain the target impeller hydraulic model.
[0058] In some implementations, when using CFD technology to simulate the hydraulic models of each candidate impeller, it is necessary to first determine the three-dimensional model of the impeller corresponding to each candidate hydraulic model. For example, the three-dimensional model of the impeller in the high-pressure flushing pump can be simulated based on the curved surfaces of the front and rear cover plates of the impeller, the blade profile curve corresponding to the hydraulic model of the target impeller, the blade thickness, and the number of blades. The blade thickness can be 5% of the impeller suction port diameter, and the number of blades can be 5.
[0059] In some embodiments, the performance optimization mathematical model includes efficiency requirements, shaft power requirements, and cavitation safety margin requirements. Determining whether the performance indicators under multiple operating conditions meet the performance optimization mathematical model includes: determining the operating efficiency of each operating condition and the weighted efficiency of multiple operating conditions based on the efficiency index in the performance indicators; when both the operating efficiency and the weighted efficiency meet the efficiency requirements (i.e., formula (1)), determining the shaft power of each operating condition based on the shaft power index in the performance indicators; when the shaft power of each operating condition meets the shaft power requirements (i.e., formula (2)), determining the cavitation margin of each operating condition based on the cavitation amount index in the performance indicators; when the cavitation margin of each operating condition meets the cavitation safety margin requirements (i.e., formula (3)), determining that the performance indicators under multiple operating conditions meet the performance optimization mathematical model. That is, only when the performance indicators of multiple operating conditions corresponding to the candidate impeller hydraulic model simultaneously meet the efficiency requirements, shaft power requirements, and cavitation safety margin requirements can it be determined that the performance optimization mathematical model is met.
[0060] In some embodiments, the high-pressure flushing pump is operated based on the volute flow channel curve and the hydraulic model of the first impeller to determine the performance indicators of the high-pressure flushing pump under multiple operating conditions. This includes: simulating the impeller structure based on the volute flow channel curve and the hydraulic model of the first impeller; controlling the high-pressure flushing pump to operate under the main operating condition based on the simulated impeller structure to obtain the performance indicators of the high-pressure flushing pump under the main operating condition, and determining the main operating condition performance curve of the high-pressure flushing pump under multiple flow rates; converting the main operating condition performance curve into the first operating condition performance curve through speed similarity conversion based on the target speed of the main operating condition and the speed of the first operating condition, where the first operating condition is the operating condition other than the main operating condition among the multiple operating conditions; and determining the performance indicators of the high-pressure flushing pump under the first operating condition based on the first operating condition performance curve, thereby obtaining the performance indicators of the high-pressure flushing pump under multiple operating conditions.
[0061] This embodiment constructs a performance optimization mathematical model for the high-pressure flushing pump in a trailing suction hopper dredger under multiple operating conditions. Based on the main operating parameters of the main operating condition, the impeller's external parameters and target rotational speed under the main operating condition are determined. Candidate impeller hydraulic models are determined based on the external parameters, target rotational speed, and impeller blade profile model. Based on the performance optimization mathematical model, a target impeller hydraulic model is selected from the candidate impeller hydraulic models under multiple operating conditions. This application addresses the multi-condition operation characteristics of the high-pressure flushing pump in a trailing suction hopper dredger, quantitatively considering the efficiency, shaft power, and critical net positive suction head (NPSH) at each operating point, and constructs a performance optimization mathematical model for multi-condition operation. This model can optimize the comprehensive hydraulic performance of the high-pressure flushing pump in a trailing suction hopper dredger and solve significant off-condition vibration or cavitation problems during the construction process of the dredger. This application first determines the candidate impeller hydraulic models under the main operating condition, then operates the impellers corresponding to the candidate impeller hydraulic models under multiple operating conditions, and selects the target impeller hydraulic model that satisfies the performance optimization mathematical model from the candidate impeller hydraulic models. The high-pressure flushing pump impeller designed in this application is applicable to multiple working conditions. Its high-efficiency operating range can cover multiple working conditions of the high-pressure flushing pump and has a high cavitation safety margin, which can improve the economic benefits of dredging projects.
[0062] The following describes the method for determining the impeller hydraulic model provided in this application embodiment through a practical application example. A large trailing suction hopper dredger requires the hydraulic performance of the high-pressure flushing pump to meet the four working conditions listed in Table 2. Based on the weighting coefficients of design scheme A in Table 1 and the working condition parameters and boundary conditions in Table 2, a performance optimization mathematical model of the high-pressure flushing pump in the trailing suction hopper dredger under multiple working conditions is constructed using formulas (1)-(3). The design head (H1 = 100m) and flow rate (Q1 = 2.78m) of the main flushing and scraping working condition are as follows: 3 / s), n can be calculated according to formula (4). 区间 The speed ranges from 390 revolutions per minute (r / min) to 442 r / min. D can be calculated using formula (5). 区间The range is 877mm to 914mm. To improve cavitation performance, D1 is increased to a multiple of 50, i.e., D1 equals 900mm. According to formula (6), n1 equals 408r / min.
