低压下穿孔三角波纹板填料流体力学性能的CFD模拟

    CFD Simulation of Hydrodynamic Properties of Perforated Triangular Corrugated Plate Filler Under Reduced Pressure

    • 摘要: 用于水精馏分离技术的填料需要在低压条件下运行,研究低压条件下填料的流体力学性能对填料的开发和改性至关重要。本研究基于计算流体力学(CFD)对穿孔三角波纹板填料在低压条件下的流体力学性能进行了模拟。并与已报道的实验数据进行了对比来验证模型的准确性。研究了在不同填料几何结构(改变穿孔孔径或波纹角)下F因子与压降的关系以及雷诺数与阻力系数的关系,并分析了压力场与速度场。结果发现,随着入口流速增大,压降均呈现出抛物线上升的趋势,阻力系数随雷诺数的增大而降低,直至趋于稳定。随着环境压力降低,填料整体流速有升高的趋势,但这一趋势随着压力的进一步降低而减弱。增大穿孔孔径的同时也增大了填料的当量直径和空隙率,导致压降降低而阻力系数升高。增大波纹角后气体通道增大,气体流动阻力减小,填料的干压降和阻力系数均减小,速度场分布得更加均匀。

       

      Abstract: At present, the main methods for large-scale treatment of tritium-containing wastewater include electrolysis, catalytic exchange, low-temperature distillation, and water distillation. Among them, the water distillation method has the advantages of simple operation, non-corrosiveness, no hydrogen production, and no explosion, and has broad application prospects. Currently, the packing used in water distillation separation technology needs to be operated under low-pressure conditions. Studying the hydrodynamic properties of the packing under low-pressure conditions is crucial to the development and modification of the packing. In this study, the hydrodynamic properties of perforated triangular corrugated plate packings were explored based on CFD modeling and numerical simulation methods. SolidWorks software was used for modeling and fluent software was used for simulation, and the RNG k-ε model was selected as the turbulence model. To simulate the low-pressure environment of water distillation and more accurately analyze the hydrodynamic properties of the packing in the low-pressure environment, the effects of perforation aperture and corrugation angle on pressure drop and flow resistance under low-pressure conditions were explored. The proposed CFD model is first validated by comparing the simulation results with experimental data for pressure drop at different inlet gas velocities. The control variable method was used to study the relationship between the F factor and pressure drop and the relationship between the Reynolds number and drag coefficient under different packing geometric structures. The changes in the pressure field and velocity field under different perforation apertures and different corrugation angles were analyzed. The study found that as the flow velocity increases, the pressure drop shows a parabolic upward trend, and the resistance coefficient decreases in the laminar flow region, but the resistance coefficient is almost unchanged in the completely turbulent flow region. As the pressure decreases, the flow velocity shows an increasing trend, and the flow velocity distribution does not change significantly. The increasing trend of the flow velocity becomes less obvious as the pressure decreases, indicating that the influence of pressure on the velocity field weakens. Increasing the perforation aperture reduces the pressure drop, but leads to an increase in the resistance coefficient. As the perforation aperture increases, the flow rate decreases overall and the low flow rate area increases. This is due to the simultaneous change of the void ratio and equivalent diameter of the filler. After increasing the corrugation angle, the gas channel increases, the gas flow resistance decreases, the dry pressure drop and resistance coefficient of the filler decrease, and the velocity field is distributed more uniformly.
