管道内壁粗糙度对沿程阻力影响的FLUENT 数值模拟分析

摘要

针对在海底管道的设计阶段准确获取沿程阻力的问题，采用FLUENT软件运用数值模拟的方法，分析粘性流体在管道中的摩阻损失与管道内壁粗糙度的关系，将计算结果与理论结果进行对比。结果显示，除流态从水力光滑区到混合摩擦区间有一个过渡阶段存在误差外，其余都吻合良好，证实输油管道的内壁粗糙度只在混合摩擦区对摩阻有较大影响，改善管壁面粗糙度可以减小阻力。若流态处于水力光滑区到混合摩擦区之间，计算摩阻系数仅靠经验公式是不合适的，应考虑采用数值模拟计算的方法。%Aiming at the problem of obtaining accurately the on-way resistance of submarine pipeline at the design stage, numerical simulation method is adopted to analyze the relationship between loss of viscous fluid friction and wall roughness of the pipeline based on FLUENT.Comparing the calculated results with theoretical results and the actual situations, the results show there is a good agreement, except for the flow pattern transiting from the hydraulic smooth region to the mixed friction region.It is confirmed that the friction coefficient is strongly influenced by pipeline wall roughness only in the turbulent mixing friction re-gion.In this case, reducing the surface roughness of the wall can cut down the resistance.If the flow pattern transits from the hy-draulic smooth region to the mixed friction region, it is inappropriate to calculate friction coefficient only by the empirical formu-las, and numerical simulation is the method that should be considered.
