CFD SIMULATION AND FEA DESIGN OF THE COMPLEX CHANNELS IN A HIROHAX-UNIT

  • 摘要: 在分析希罗装置调节阀的失效情况基础上,揭示出其主要失效机理为气蚀;结合防止气蚀失效的现有技术和该调节阀的实际工况,提出管路压降优化设计的方案设想。利用CFD软件Fluent,采用 湍流模型和Simplec算法,模拟比较了调节阀内流场在管路压降优化前后的湍流状况。结果表明:通过增设迷宫式限流孔板组,分担调节阀部分压力降后,气蚀程度可大大降低,从而延长调节阀使用寿命,提高经济效益。进一步对设想的限流孔板组进行有限元分析设计,由Fluent计算出孔板组内流场的边界压力分布,转化为孔板组的内压载荷,进而在ANSYS环境下采用适合于曲面边界的20节点三维等参元进行有限元应力分析和强度评定;对初始设计方案的几何参数进行调整和计算,最终获得既经济又安全的设计方案,并由应力分布特点确定挡板的合理焊接工序。分析中成功实现了流体与结构两种不同软件和力学模型之间压力载荷的无缝连接技术。该方法对各类复杂输液通道的优化与延寿设计均有参考价值。

     

    Abstract: Based on the analysis of the failure phenomena of the regulation valve in a Hirohax-Unit, the primary mechanism to interpret the failure is revealed as cavitations. By considering various techniques of preventing cavitations and the situations of the regulation valve, a new design scheme is proposed to optimize the pressure fall in the pipeline. The turbulence model and Simplec algorithm are employed to simulate and compare the turbulence flow characteristics fore-and-aft the optimization of the pressure fall in channels by using the CFD software Fluent. The numerical results indicate that the turbulence cavitations can be well restrained by introducing a proper set of labyrinth orifices in the pipeline, which shares a part of the total pressure fall in the channel of the valve originally, so that the service life of the valve can be prolonged and also the economic benefits are increased. Furthermore, the set of labyrinth orifices according to the initial ideas is designed based on the finite element analysis. Firstly the boundary pressure of the flow field in the labyrinth channel of the set of orifices is calculated by using Fluent, which is transferred as the surface loads applied on the inside walls of the cylinder and orifices in the FE model. Then, the stresses are calculated and the strength is estimated for the structure of the cylinder and orifices by using 20-nodes 3D-isoparametric elements, which are very suitable for the structure with complex curved boundary, in ANSYS. The optimization of the geometric parameters is further conducted based on the original scheme, so that a both economic and safe design scheme is finally obtained. Besides, a reasonable welding order of the orifices in the cylinder is determined according to the stress distribution. In the simulation, a perfect connection of the pressure loads is realized between the different software and models for fluid and structures. This approach can be referred to the design of various complex fluid channels.
