Minimum wall pressure coefficient of orifice plate energy dissipater

Orifice plate energy dissipaters have been successfully used in large-scale hydropower projects due to their simple structure, convenient construction procedure, and high energy dissipation ratio. The minimum wall pressure coefficient of an orifice plate can indirectly reflect its cavitation characteristics： the lower the minimum wall pressure coefficient is, the better the ability of the orifice plate to resist cavitation damage is. Thus, it is important to study the minimum wall pressure coefficient of the orifice plate. In this study, this coefficient and related parameters, such as the contraction ratio, defined as the ratio of the orifice plate diameter to the flood-discharging tunnel diameter; the relative thickness, defined as the ratio of the orifice plate thickness to the tunnel diameter; and the Reynolds number of the flow through the orifice plate, were theoretically analyzed, and their relationships were obtained through physical model experiments. It can be concluded that the minimum wall pressure coefficient is mainly dominated by the contraction ratio and relative thickness. The lower the contraction ratio and relative thickness are, the larger the minimum wall pressure coefficient is. The effects of the Reynolds number on the minimum wall pressure coefficient can be neglected when it is larger than 10^5. An emoirical expression was presented to calculate the minimum wall oressure coefficient in this study.

新型震后可修复预制混凝土填充墙板抗震性能研究

为了解决预制混凝土墙板在强震作用下损伤严重、结构功能难以快速恢复的问题,提出了一种带防屈曲耗能杆的柔性连接预制混凝土填充墙板(flexible connected prefabricated concrete wall panel,FCWP)。首先,介绍了新型墙板的概念及工作原理;其次,采用ABAQUS有限元软件对耗能杆及预制混凝土填充墙板进行了有限元模拟;最后,对比分析了FCWP和传统刚性连接预制填充墙板(traditional rigid connected prefabricated wall panels,RCWP)在低周往复荷载下的受力机理及损伤模式。结果表明:RCWP加载初期预制墙板底部出现水平裂缝,墙板右底部出现逐渐向左上部延伸的斜裂缝,随着位移的持续增大,斜裂缝在墙板跨中贯通,结构破坏;FCWP中防屈曲约束耗能杆发挥了优异的耗能能力,预制墙板仅在底部及顶部与耗能杆连接部分出现裂缝,损伤程度较轻。所提新型柔性连接墙板应力及损伤显著低于刚性连接墙板,且损伤主要集中于耗能杆,具有较好的耗能能力和震后可恢复能力。

齿墩长度对齿墩式内消能工水力特性影响的数值分析

为了探究齿墩长度对齿墩式内消能工水力特性的影响,使用Fluent软件中的k–ε数学模型进行数值模拟,并和前期物理模型试验的结果进行比对,验证了模型的准确性,进而对7种不同齿墩相对长度(相对长度η为齿墩长度l与管道内直径D之比)的内消能工的中心轴流速、时均压强、过流能力、消能率、紊动能和流场等进行了分析。结果表明不同相对长度齿墩式内消能工中心轴流速分布规律基本一致,除η等于0.1外,各方案中心轴峰值流速出现的位置相同,不随相对长度的变化而变化,均在齿墩进口后0.38D处;齿墩前后壁面时均压强变化较大,存在低压区;齿墩段后侧旋涡区内紊动能较大,且回流区长度随齿墩相对长度增加逐渐减小;在模拟范围内,流量系数随着齿墩相对长度的增加先增加后减小,η在0.2~0.9范围内流量系数较大,消能率的变化规律则相反;η大于0.9时,突缩突扩段旋涡区分离,此后随着齿墩相对长度增加,多余长度对消能的作用仅由沿程水头损失产生,对消能工消能率的贡献不大,可忽略。综合分析,相对长度为0.2~0.9范围内的齿墩长度较优,给齿墩式内消能工的体型优化提供了依据。

FLOWS THROUGH ENERGY DISSIPATERS WITH SUDDEN REDUCTION AND SUDDEN ENLARGEMENT FORMS

The energy dissipation of flood discharges has been one of important problems that affect directly the safety of hydropower projects. The energy dissipater with sudden reduction and sudden enlargement forms, used widely in large-scale projects has been a kind of effective structure for energy dissipation. The concept of critical thickness was defined, which is related to both the geometric parameters and the hydraulic parameters of the energy dissipater, and the factors affecting the critical thickness, were analzsed by means of dimensional analysis. The empirical expression about the critical thickness was obtained and could be used as the criterion to distinguish the flows through the energy dissipater, i.e., the plug flow and the orifice plate flow. The error analysis showed that the critical thickness calculated by the expression has the errors of smaller than 10% in the estimation of the flows for the energy dissipater mentioned above.

HYDRAULIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PLUG ENERGY DISSIPATER IN FLOOD DISCHARGE TUNNEL

The hydraulic characteristics of three types of plugs, namely, the single plug, the stepped plug and the gradually contracted plug were studied by means of experimental and numerical simulations. Main research findings are as follows. For the single plug, the pressure recovery lengths inside and after the plug range from 0.63-1.05 times and 2.02-2.84 times of the tunnel diameter, respectively. For the stepped plug, the lengths are 0.24-0.32 times and 1.62-2.84 times of the tunnel diameter, respectively. The best ratio of the inlet diameter to the outlet diameter of the gradually contracted plug can be expressed by a linear function. The relationship between the head loss coefficient and the area contraction ratio is obtained. The incipient cavitation numbers of different plugs are experimentally and numerically determined, and the incipient cavitation numbers are expressed by a formula. Model experiment with scale of 1：50 was carried out on a pressure tunnel with three-stage gradually contracted plugs. The results show that this type of energy dissipater is suitable for spill tunnels of high head （nearly 200 m） and large flow rate （nearly 2500 m^3/s）.

Flow choking characteristics of slit-type energy dissipaters

In this paper, the behavior of the flow choking, including the critical and developing states, was experimentally investiga- ted by means of five slit-type outlets, characterized by the outlet width, the contraction angle and the opening of the working gate. The results showed that the approach flow Froude number of the critical choking decreases if the outlet width increases, or the con- traction angle decreases, or the opening increases. There is the hysteresis when the flow choking develops, i.e., the Froude numbers of the appearance and disappearance of the flow choking at the increasing discharge regime are all larger than those at the decreasing discharge regime. For various widths of the outlets, the differences between the critical Froude numbers at small opening are much larger than thoset at large opening. The change range from appearance to disappearance of the flow choking at small opening is smaller than that at large opening.

Local scour by multiple slit-type energy dissipaters

Energy dissipation and scour control are all the key issues for the design of hydraulic structures.On the basis of the high energy dissipation for the multiple slit-type energy dissipaters(M-STED)developed by the authors,in this work,the characteristics of the scour hole for the M-STED were experimentally investigated through three sets of those physical models with five cases and a scour hole form index was proposed.The results show that,the M-STED results in not only the high energy dissipation but also the mild upstream slope of the scour hole thanks to the scour hole form index of larger than 0.5,which is in favor of the safety of the release works.

Shock waves and water wing in slit-type energy dissipaters

The slit-type energy dissipater（STED）is widely used in hydraulic projects of high water head,large discharge,and narrow river valley,thanks to its simple structure and high efficiency.However,the water wing caused by the shock waves in the contraction section of the STED may bring about harmful effects.A coefficient is introduced for the application of Ippen？s theory in the STED.The expression of the coefficient is experimentally obtained.Simplified formulas to calculate the shock wave angle and the water wing scope are theoretically derived,with relative errors within 5%.

减压环耗能性能的静力试验及动力有限元分析

被动柔性防护系统中采用的减压环由钢管及铝管套筒组成,应用中将钢丝绳穿过钢管连接在防护系统的支撑绳及拉锚绳上,起到吸收能量和缓冲冲击荷载的作用。根据被动防护系统中减压环的工作状态,将减压环的受力形式简化为一端固定,另一端受荷载作用,并进行了静力试验和动力有限元分析。在较低的冲击荷载作用下,数值计算结果与试验结果较吻合,随着冲击荷载速度的增大,启动荷载逐渐增大,减压环耗能能力有一定的提高。另外,采用数值计算方法研究了减压环中的铝管套筒长度对耗能性能及启动荷载的影响。结果表明:减压环在动力荷载作用下的耗能能力开始增大比较明显,后期耗能能力无明显增大,而启动荷载随着套筒长度的增大先减小而后增大,当铝管套筒在合适长度范围内时,减压环在动力荷载作用下理想吸能效率与静力试验结果较接近。
