    • 摘要: 风力机在风沙环境中运行时,沙尘颗粒会对风力机叶片表面造成冲蚀磨损,出现形貌变化,导致气动性能变化。为了深入理解风力机叶片在风沙环境中的磨损程度及其随时间的变化规律,并为风沙环境中风力机的运行与维护提供科学依据,有必要系统地研究叶片表面的冲蚀磨损动态演化过程以及这一过程中气动性能的变化情况。该研究采用流-固-侵蚀耦合的数值模型,基于颗粒浓度-时间换算方法,通过模拟风沙对风力机专用翼型S809的冲蚀过程,探讨了翼段表面在沙尘颗粒冲蚀作用下的形貌动态演化过程,分析了翼段表面的冲蚀深度及形貌特征,进一步研究了不同攻角下,风沙颗粒对S809翼段表面形貌变化及其气动性能的影响规律。研究表明:随着冲蚀时间的推进,沙尘颗粒对翼型表面造成的磨损程度不断加剧,使得冲蚀小坑的深度逐渐加深,使得翼型表面的压力系数波动逐渐剧烈。与此同时,升力系数呈现出先轻微升高后缓慢降低的趋势。当攻角为10°时,冲蚀40 h后的翼段升力系数相较光滑翼段在含沙气流中的升力系数升高可达6.3%,然后随冲蚀时间的推进缓慢降低。通过分析含沙气流和洁净空气环境下升阻比的比值 β 与攻角的关系,可得翼段升阻比在小攻角下受风沙来流影响较大,在大攻角下受风沙来流影响较小。研究成果可为风力发电机组在风沙环境下的维护与修理工作提供科学的指导和建议。

       

      Abstract: When the wind turbine operates in the wind-sand environment, the sand particles will cause erosion and wear on the surface of the wind turbine blades, which will result in morphological changes and lead to changes in aerodynamic performance. In order to deeply understand the degree of wear of wind turbine blades in the wind-sand environment and its change rule with time, and to provide scientific basis for the operation and maintenance of wind turbines in the wind-sand environment, it is necessary to systematically study the dynamic evolution process of erosion and wear on the surface of the blades, as well as the change of the aerodynamic performance in this process. This study adopts the numerical model of flow-solid-erosion coupling, based on the particle concentration-time conversion method, and by simulating the erosion process of wind-sand on the wind turbine-specific airfoil S809, the dynamic evolution process of the morphology of the airfoil surface under the erosion effect of the sand particles is explored, and the depth of erosion and morphology of the airfoil surface are analyzed, and the influence law of the wind-sand particles on the morphology and its aerodynamic performance of the airfoil surface of the S809 are further investigated under different angles of attack. The influence of sand particles on the surface morphology of S809 airfoil at different angles of attack is further investigated. The study shows that, with the advancement of erosion time, the abrasion degree of sand particles on the airfoil surface increases, which makes the depth of the erosion pits deepen, and the pressure coefficient fluctuation of the airfoil surface becomes drastic. At the same time, the lift coefficient shows a trend of slight increase and then slow decrease. The particle erosion and wear were concentrated mainly in the high-pressure areas of pressure surface at the leading edge of airfoil segment. The wear area of airfoil segment was gradually enlarged with the increase of the erosion time, and the depth of wear was deepened. There was the slightly decrease rate of the maximum depth after the surface erosion of airfoil segment. The area of suction surface erosion wear was shifted to the leading edge, with the increase of angle of attack. While the area of pressure surface erosion wear was to the trailing edge. The larger the angle of attack was, the more serious the erosion wear in the region of the pressure front edge of the airfoil segment was. At the same time, the pressure coefficient of the wing section cross-section was appeared the fluctuation in the process of erosion. The more outstanding fluctuation was found with the advancement of the erosion time, especially on the more significant fluctuation of the pressure coefficient at the front edge of the suction force. Overall, the wing segment lift coefficient showed the increasing first and then decreasing in the process of particle erosion, with the advancement of erosion time. Once the angle of attack was 10° and the erosion duration was 40 h, the wing segment lift coefficient increased up to 6.3% than before. When the angle of attack was more than 12°, the coefficient of lift decreased significantly after 20 h of erosion, compared with the low angle of attack. The value of β was about 0.62 at the angle of attack from 2° to 8°, whereas, the value of β increased up to 0.82 at the angle of attack of 10°. The slow increase was observed with the increase of the angle of attack. In general, the wing segment lift-to-drag ratio was depended mainly on the incoming wind and sand at small angles of attack. There was no influence under the incoming wind and sand at large angles of attack. The findings can provide the data support and theoretical basis to maintain and repair the wind turbines in the wind-sand inflow environment.
