Analysis of aeroelastic stability and loads for wind turbines based on CFD-CSD coupling simulation

  • 摘要: 针对超大型风力机轻量化发展面临的强非线性气动弹性瓶颈,以及传统叶素动量理论在大攻角分离流动工况下仿真精度不足、现有流固耦合研究工况覆盖不全的工程痛点,本文构建了高精度、高稳定性的双向CFD-CSD耦合仿真方法。方法基于通用CFD求解器与自主研发的多体动力学软件GTSim搭建耦合框架,融合改进延迟分离涡湍流模型、铁木辛柯梁结构理论与渐进自适应多层级B-Spline动网格技术,实现了风力机叶片堆场、停机空转、并网发电等全工况下气弹响应精细化模拟,并通过多维度试验与对比开展算法验证。结果表明,本文方法对翼型气动力系数的计算结果与实测结果的相对偏差小于5%,计算得出的结构挠度与行业标准Bladed软件偏差小于4.9%;常规发电工况载荷计算结果与实测结果的相对偏差控制在10%以内,同时可精准捕捉极端工况下传统方法无法预测的气弹失稳与耦合振动特征,突破了传统方法的固有局限,可为大型风力机气弹设计与安全评估提供可靠技术支撑。

     

    Abstract: To address the strong nonlinear aeroelastic bottleneck in the lightweight development of ultra-large wind turbines, as well as the insufficient simulation accuracy of the traditional blade element momentum (BEM) theory under large-angle separated flow conditions and the incomplete coverage of working conditions in existing fluid-structure interaction studies, this paper develops a high-precision and high-stability bidirectional CFD-CSD coupling simulation method. A coupling framework is established using a general-purpose CFD solver and the self-developed multi-body dynamics software GTSim. By integrating the improved delayed detached eddy simulation turbulence model, Timoshenko beam theory, and a progressive adaptive multi-level B-spline dynamic mesh technique, the proposed method enables refined aeroelastic response simulations of wind turbine blades under full operating conditions, including blade stacking, idling, and grid-connected power generation. The method is validated through multi-dimensional experiments and benchmark comparisons. Results show that the relative deviation of the aerodynamic force coefficients calculated by the proposed method from experimental measurements is less than 5%, and the calculated structural deflection deviates by less than 4.9% from that obtained using the industry-standard software Bladed. Under normal power generation conditions, the relative deviation of load predictions from measured data is within 10%. Moreover, the method accurately captures aeroelastic instability and coupled vibration characteristics under extreme conditions, which cannot be predicted by traditional methods. This approach overcomes the inherent limitations of conventional methods and provides reliable technical support for the aeroelastic design and safety assessment of large wind turbines.
