The invention belongs to the technical field of fluid machinery and
hydroelectric generation, and particularly relates to a draft tube using a hyperbolic central tube as a vortex suppression device. The draft tube using the hyperbolic central tube as the vortex suppression device comprises the hyperbolic central tube, a support, a straight cone
barrel, an
elbow tube and a
diffusion tube. The inner curved surface of the hyperbolic central
pipe meets the equation # imgabs0 #, and the hyperbolic central
pipe and the straight cone
barrel are coaxially arranged, and the hyperbolic central
pipe is fixed in the straight cone
barrel through a support. The device is suitable for the central spiral vortex strip working condition of the draft tube, after
water flow flows out of the rotating wheel and enters the straight cone barrel, the formed central vortex strip is damaged due to
impact on the inner wall of the hyperbolic central tube, the speed circulation is reduced, and the negative pressure at the center is reduced due to
water flow rotation, so that the strength of the vortex strip is reduced, and the pressure pulsation amplitude is weakened; and the central vortex strip is separated from a mainstream area outside the hyperbolic central pipe, so that the
hydraulic stability of the hydroelectric generating set under the working condition of the central spiral vortex strip of the draft tube is enhanced.
