According to the identification theory, the frequency characteristic was achieved with the Matlab/ Ident toolbox. Then parametric model was established by adopting the subsection linearization method, and the damp value was estimated. The curve and function of damp changing with speed ratio was also established by fitting. In order to validate the identification results, the experimental output was compared with the output of the model in which torque was chosen as input signal and speed as output signal in Matlab/Ident toolbox. It was shown that model output is in good agreement with experimental output.展开更多

A new torus coordinate system is proposed so as to quantitatively describe fluid movement inside the hydrodynamic torque converter. The particle movement inside the hydrodynamic torque converter is decomposed into meridional component movement and torus component movement, and a universal meridional streamline equation is derived. According to the relationship between the converter wheel velocity polygon and its blade angle, a torus streamline differential equation is established. The universal meridional streamline equation is approximated with square polynomials. The approximation error curve is given and the percentage error is not greater than 0.86%. Considered as a function of polar angle, the blade angle cotangent of each converter wheel varies linearly with polar angle. By using integral calculus, torus streamline equations are obtained. As a result, the problem of difficult flow description of the hydrodynamic torque converter is solved and a new analytic research system is established.展开更多

The semi-automatic modeling technique of torque converter flow passage was proposed. The flow passage model of each converter wheel is considered as a revolution entity sliced by two curved surfaces. In order to generate the revolution entity, a new approximation method, condition optimum arc approximation, was proposed. The method was used to approximate the meridional streamlines of the inner and outer wall. As a result, the three-dimensional revolution entity can be conveniently generated. In order to create slice surfaces, the central stream surface of flow passage was approximated with a quadric surface. The normal vector of the quadric surface and the thickness/thickness-function of bade were used to calculate the discrete point coordinates of blade surfaces. Via the rotation transformation to the coordinates, the discrete point coordinates of slice surfaces were obtained. A parameterized program code used for the hydrodynamic torque converter design and semi-automatic modeling was developed. Modeling errors were calculated and analyzed. The flow passage model was generated in several minutes with the help of the program code, Auto CAD and Solidworks software. Finally, the model was inputted into Gambit, and the pre-processing task used for the numerical simulation of torque converter flow field was successfully completed. The investigation results show that the semi-automatic modeling not only can ensure the accuracy of modeling, but also librates the research and design workers of torque converter from the time-consuming modeling work, which paves the way for the numerical simulation of the complex flow field of the hydrodynamic torque converter.展开更多
