The pressure pulsation caused fatigue failure due to vibration in electric submersible pump and affects the life and performance of its system. The objective of this study was to experimentally investigate the characteristics of pressure pulsation which were generated at various stages of a multistage electric submersible pump during closed valve operation at different speeds. An electric submersible pump with five stages was selected for conducting experiments. A variable frequency drive( VFD)was used to operate the electric submersible pump at five different speed settings from 40 to 60 Hz. Piezoresistive pressure transducers were mounted at each stage of the electric submersible pump to capture the unsteady pressure signals. At each speed setting,the electric submersible pump was operated at the shut-off condition and the signals of unsteady pressure from all the five stages were captured. A fast fourier transformation( FFT) was carried out on the pressure signals to convert into frequency domain.From the spectra of pressure pulsation signals,the characteristics of pressure pulsation are obtained for each stage and for various speed settings which were then used to understand its variation with speed and stages.展开更多

The pressure pulsation is predicted and compared with experimental data at positions in the draft tube, in front of runner, guide vanes and at the inlet of the spiral case. The relationship between pressure pulsation in the whole passage and air admission is analyzed. The computational results show: air admission from spindle hole decreases the pressure difference in the horizontal section of draft tube, which in turn decreases the amplitude of low-frequency pressure pulsation in the draft tube; the rotor-stator interaction between the air inlet and the runner increases the blade-frequency pressure pulsation in front of the runner.展开更多

Pressure pulsations caused by such positive displacement pumps can lead to malfunctions and noise in a hydraulic system. A common measure to reduce pressure pulsations is the integration of pressure pulsation dampers downstream of the pump. This type of damping measure can also be found in biology as e.g. in the human blood circulatory system. Such working principles found in living organisms offer a high potential for a biomimetic transfer into technical applications. The newly developed bio-inspired damper consists of cellular rubbers with non-linear viscoelastic material properties. In order to evaluate the new damping method, pressure pulsations were measured at two different back pressures and at a wide engine speed range of the vane pump. For further assessment, different setups, varying the stiffness of the cellular rubber materials and the damper volume, were tested. Within the tested back pressures, the pressure pulsations could be reduced by up to 40%. The developed integrated pulsation damper offers a high potential to dampen pressure pulsations of positive displacement pumps used in mobile hydraulic applications ooeratin~ below 10 bar.展开更多

The flow visualizations show that jetting is the flow regime for the submerged gas injection at a high speed in the parameter range under consideration. The obtained results indicate that high-speed gas jets in still water induce large pressure pulsations upstream of the nozzle exit and the presence of shock-cell structure in the over- and under-expanded jets leads to an increase in the intensity of the jet-induced hydrodynamic pressure.展开更多

However, experimental study on this problem is unacceptable for industrial applications due to unsustainable cost. A hybrid method that couples computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with computational aeroacoustic software is used to predict the flow-induced noise of pumps in order to minimize the noise of centrifugal pumps in actual projects. Under Langthjem's assumption that the blade surface pressure is the main flow-induced acoustic source in centrifugal pumps, the blade surface pressure pulsation is considered in terms of the acoustical sources and simulated using CFX software. The pressure pulsation and noise distribution in the near-cutoff region are examined for the blade-passing frequency (BPF) noise, and the sound pressure level (SPL) reached peaks near the cutoff that corresponded with the pressure pulsation in this region. An experiment is performed to validate this prediction. Four hydrophones are fixed to the inlet and outlet ports of the test pump to measure the flow-induced noise from the four-port model. The simulation results for the noise are analyzed and compared with the experimental results. The variation in the calculated noise with changes in the flow agreed well with the experimental results. When the flow rate was increased, the SPL first decreased and reached the minimum near the best efficient point (BEP); it then increased when the flow rate was further increased. The numerical and experimental results confirmed that the BPF noise generated by a blade-rotating dipole roughly reflects the acoustic features of centrifugal pumps. The noise simulation method in current study has a good feasibility and suitability, which could be adopted in engineering design to predict and optimize the hydroacoustic behavior of centrifugal pumps.展开更多

This will be useful for generating a precise numerical model and studying the hydropower station.展开更多

The S-curve characteristics are analyzed by a combined use of the model test and the steady state simulation with the aligned guide vane firstly. Four misaligned guide vanes with two different openings are chosen to analyze the influence of pressure pulses in the turbine. The characteristics of the dominant unsteady flow frequencies in different parts of the pump turbine for various misaligned guide vane openings are investigated in detail. The predicted hydraulic performance and the pressure fluctuations show that the misaligned guide vanes reduce the relative pressure fluctuation amplitudes in the stationary part of the flow passage, but not the runner blades. The misaligned guide vanes have changed the low frequencies in the entire flow passage with the change of the pulse amplitudes mainly due to changes in the rotor-stator interaction and the low frequency vortex rope flow behavior.展开更多

文摘Rocky landslides on river banks can result in the generation of ultra-high waves,which may destroy structures on the opposite bank.Existing methods to calculate the pressure on bank slopes under the effect of impulse waves generated by landslides are,however,few and of low precision.Therefore,in this study,a three-dimensional physical model test was conducted by taking into account factors such as landslide geometry parameters and the bank slope angle.The model test section was generalized on the basis of a certain section of the Three Gorges reservoir area as a prototype,after which the wave parameters and wave pressure acting on the bank slope were measured.Subsequently,the magnitude,acting point,and distribution of the pressure of the impulse waves generated by the rocky landslide upon the bank slope were determined.The distribution curve of the impact pressure was similar to that calculated using theСНиПⅡ57-75 formula,and the experimental pulsating pressure value was close to the value calculated using the Subgrade formula.Based on the test results,a power function of the relative pulsating pressure steepness with respect to the reciprocal of the wave steepness,relative water depth,and slope ratio was proposed.The acting point of the maximum pulsating pressure was found to be located near the still water level.Finally,an empirical formula for calculating the envelope of the maximum pulsating pressure distribution curve was proposed.These formulas can serve as a theoretical basis for the prediction of impulse wave pressure generated owing to landslides on bank slopes.

文摘In view of the problem that crystalline particles cause wall vibration at a low temperature,based on two-phase flow model,computational fuid dynamics is used to conduct the numerical simulation of internal flows when the valve openings are 20%,60%and 100%respectively.The molten salt fow may be changed under strict conditions and produce forced vibration of the inner parts of molten salt particle shock valve body.Euler two-phase flow model is used for different molten salt sizes to extract temporal pressure pulse information and conduct statistical data processing analysis.The influence of the molten salt crystallization of molten salt particles on the fow and pressure pulse strength is analyzed.The results show that the crystallization of molten salt has a serious impact on the vibration of the valve body,especially in the throttle rate.The valve oscillation caused by the pressure pulsation mostly occurs from the small opening rate.As the opening increases,the pressure pulse threshold and its change trend decrease.

文摘To reduce the vibration and sound radiation of underwater cylindrical shells,a skin composed of micro floating raft arrays and a compliant wall is proposed in this paper.A vibroacoustic coupling model of a finite cylindrical shell covered with this skin for the case of turbulence excitation is established based on the shell theories of Donnell.The model is solved with the modal superposition method to investigate the effects of the structural parameters of micro floating raft elements on the performance of reducing vibration and sound radiation of the cylindrical shell of this skin.The results indicate that increasing the stiffness ratio,damping ratio,mass ratio,or decreasing the interval betweenmicro floating raft elements can improve the vibration and sound radiation reduction performance of this skin over the frequency range 0∼2000 Hz.Moreover,the mean quadratic velocity level and sound radiation power level of the finite cylindrical shell with this skin can be reduced by 12.00 dB and 9.65 dB respectively compared to the finite cylindrical shell with homogeneous viscoelastic coating in the frequency range from0∼2000Hz,implying a favorable performance of this skin for reducing the vibration and sound radiation of cylindrical shells.
文摘The present paper describes experimental investigation on the flow pattern and hydrodynamic effect of underwater gas jets from supersonic and sonic nozzles operated in correct- and imperfect expansion conditions. The flow visualizations show that jetting is the flow regime for the submerged gas injection at a high speed in the parameter range under consideration. The obtained results indicate that high-speed gas jets in still water induce large pressure pulsations upstream of the nozzle exit and the presence of shock-cell structure in the over- and under-expanded jets leads to an increase in the intensity of the jet-induced hydrodynamic pressure.

文摘With the increasing noise pollution, low noise optimization of centrifugal pimps has become a hot topic. However, experimental study on this problem is unacceptable for industrial applications due to unsustainable cost. A hybrid method that couples computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with computational aeroacoustic software is used to predict the flow-induced noise of pumps in order to minimize the noise of centrifugal pumps in actual projects. Under Langthjem's assumption that the blade surface pressure is the main flow-induced acoustic source in centrifugal pumps, the blade surface pressure pulsation is considered in terms of the acoustical sources and simulated using CFX software. The pressure pulsation and noise distribution in the near-cutoff region are examined for the blade-passing frequency (BPF) noise, and the sound pressure level (SPL) reached peaks near the cutoff that corresponded with the pressure pulsation in this region. An experiment is performed to validate this prediction. Four hydrophones are fixed to the inlet and outlet ports of the test pump to measure the flow-induced noise from the four-port model. The simulation results for the noise are analyzed and compared with the experimental results. The variation in the calculated noise with changes in the flow agreed well with the experimental results. When the flow rate was increased, the SPL first decreased and reached the minimum near the best efficient point (BEP); it then increased when the flow rate was further increased. The numerical and experimental results confirmed that the BPF noise generated by a blade-rotating dipole roughly reflects the acoustic features of centrifugal pumps. The noise simulation method in current study has a good feasibility and suitability, which could be adopted in engineering design to predict and optimize the hydroacoustic behavior of centrifugal pumps.

文摘The key problem of the energy dissipation scheme of the arch dam body flood discharge and plunge pool below the dam is the stability problem of the plunge pool slab.As the protection structure of the underwater bed,the plunge pool slab bears the continuous impact of high-speed water flow.The hourly average dynamic water pressure on the slab is one of the main loads directly affecting the stability of the slab and is the main factor causing its erosion destruction.After the impoundment of the Xiluodu Hydropower Station,the measuring line of valley width in the plunge pool area has been continuously shrinking.By 2020,the cumulative shrinking value is about 80 mm.In light of the general background condition of valley shrinkage,daily inspection,annual detailed inspection,underwater inspection and drainage inspection of the plunge pool found that the plunge pool has experienced different degrees of damage,which greatly influences the long-term safety stability of the plunge pool.In this paper,the prototype observation data of flood discharge is used as the input load of pulsatingpressure,and the stress and displacement distribution of the plunge pool structure under the vibration load of flood discharge is analyzed under the condition that the stress and strain state of the plunge pool is changed under the influence of valley displacement.The results show that the stress,strain,and displacement distribution of the plunge pool are mainly caused by valley deformation,the vibration caused by flood discharge is little in influence,and the impact effect of deep hole flood discharge tongue on the plunge pool slab is weak.

文摘To elucidate the dynamic mechanisms of unbalanced impellers in ultra-high head pump-turbines(PTs),this study employed a one-and three-dimensional coupled method to simulate the pump power-trip(PPT)process of an ultra-high head PT.The investigation revealed two novel pulsation frequency components,denoted as fDVand fINFT,associated with impeller forces.The pulsation intensities of these components were markedly higher than those of rotor-stator interaction frequency components in ultra-high head PTs.Notably,the fDVcomponents exhibited pulsations at 1–2 times the rated rotation frequency of the impeller,spanning the entire transition period.Meanwhile,the fINFTcomponents constituted a complex frequency band with various frequency values,primarily occurring near conditions(Q=0,n=0,M=0,and d M/dt=0).These two pulsation frequency components were predominantly linked to the unsteady evolution of dean vortices inside the volute and complex transitions of the flow pattern within the impeller,respectively.It is crucial to note that these unbalanced flow-induced impeller axial forces can elevate the risk of accidents where the rotor is subjected to significant upwind axial forces.These findings offer valuable insights into mitigating the risk of rotor lifting due to axial forces during PT events in ultra-high head PTs.

文摘Previous experimental and numerical analyses of the pressure pulse characteristics in a Francis turbine are extended here by using the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model to model the unsteady flow within the entire flow passage of a large Francis pump turbine with misaligned guide vanes at the rated rotational speed. The S-curve characteristics are analyzed by a combined use of the model test and the steady state simulation with the aligned guide vane firstly. Four misaligned guide vanes with two different openings are chosen to analyze the influence of pressure pulses in the turbine. The characteristics of the dominant unsteady flow frequencies in different parts of the pump turbine for various misaligned guide vane openings are investigated in detail. The predicted hydraulic performance and the pressure fluctuations show that the misaligned guide vanes reduce the relative pressure fluctuation amplitudes in the stationary part of the flow passage, but not the runner blades. The misaligned guide vanes have changed the low frequencies in the entire flow passage with the change of the pulse amplitudes mainly due to changes in the rotor-stator interaction and the low frequency vortex rope flow behavior.

文摘Pulsating pressure plays an important role in improving the poor irrigation quality and the uneven water distribution caused by the terrain slope.Water distribution is one of the key factors in design of the sprinkler irrigation system,however,it is difficult to measure in practice.To provide appropriate technical parameters for the design of sprinkler irrigation system with pulsating pressure on sloping land,a mathematical model was established according to the water conservation principle and finite element idea,and its accuracy was experimentally verified.The model was applied to study the effects of terrain slope,sprinkler arrangement,sprinkler spacing and average pulsating pressure on water distribution on sloping land.The results showed that the water distribution was more favorable under the gentle terrain slope,when slope decreased from 25%to 5%,the uniformity increased from 74.47%to 86.22%.Sprinklers arranged in equilateral triangle and with the spacing close to R_(0)had the best water distribution uniformity,the uniformity coefficient(CU)of which was 11.43%and 8.75%higher than that in square and rectangular arrangement,respectively.The CU increased with the increase of the average pulsating pressure.However,the effect of increasing water pressure on promoting the uniformity of water distribution gradually decreases.Therefore,when using the Rainbird R5000 sprinkler on sloping land with pulsating pressure,it is suggested that the sprinkler irrigation systems should be arranged below the terrain slope of 20%,and operated at the average pulsating pressure of 300 kPa.The suitable sprinkler arrangement is the equilateral triangle,and with the spacing of 0.8R_(0)to 1.0R_(0).
