Research on Simulation Technique for Fixed Guide Vanes in Axial Symmetric Models of Spiral Case

Abstract:

The axial symmetric model has been widely used in the research and design of spiral case structure in hydraulic power station due to its convenience, however, instead of a continuous entity, the fixed guide vanes are discretely distributed around the vertical axis of the unit, and there are some different opinions on the simulation techniques for the fixed guide vane in the existing research. Commonly used processing methods for fixed guide vanes in the spiral case axial symmetry model are summarized and two new simulation techniques on the basis of existing research are proposed. Static analyses for a practical spiral case with cushion layer are conducted using 4 axial symmetry models and a 3-D FEM model. The influences of simulation techniques for fixed guide vanes on the stress and their distribution of steel liner, concrete and fixed guide vanes are investigated. The rationality and applicability of each simulation technique for fixed guide vanes are discussed.
