Simulation of Simplified Three-Dimensional Space Flow Velocity Field in Reservoir on the Condition of Unsteady Flow and its Application

Abstract:

In view of the complexity of the conventional simulation calculation method of three-dimensional flow field for the reservoir, and to analysis of the change of the reservoir’s flow field in flood period, in this paper, based on the unsteady flow numerical calculation, the simulation method for three-dimensional space flow velocity field of the reservoir in flood period was studied and applied to the Wenyuhe Reservoir. First refining the actual extraction of grid, and then having an unsteady flow numerical calculation for the reservoir, finally through layering and stripping the grid, three-dimensional space flow velocity field the reservoir on the condition of unsteady flow has been studied. The results showed that the reservoir velocity along the flow direction is becoming smaller, and surface velocity is fast; with the flow increase gradually, the unsteady flow has a great effect on the flow field of the reservoir’s concave bank. The grid can at will encryption, so the calculation precision can be effectively controlled and the process of simulation is easy to be programmed. The research results can simplify the complexity of the reservoir for three-dimensional numerical simulation, and up to providing theoretical support for reservoir flood control.
