摘    要:针对天然气水合物深海开采系统中管道的水力输送过程分析以及参数选择等问题,提出此系统的垂直提升硬管中管径、浆体流速、矿物密度、颗粒粒径和体积分数各参数及其范围,列出14种方案并以上述参数为依据划分为4组,基于FLUENT软件中的Eulerian模型,采用SIMPLE算法和标准k-ε湍流模型对上述方案进行数值仿真和分析。研究结果表明:颗粒在垂直管道入口附近处体积分数高,往出口方向体积分数降低,且颗粒向中心聚集;浆体流速为中心区域大,略大于浆体进口流速,管壁附近小,接近于0 m/s;由压力损失、阻力损失与效率的关系,结合仿真数据分析得到的最优方案是管径为300 mm、浆体流速为1.65 m/s、矿物密度为1 190 kg/m3、颗粒粒径为10 mm、体积分数为25%;在一定范围内,管径大、流速低、矿物密度小、颗粒粒径小、体积分数高对于天然气水合物管道水力提升有利,矿物密度对输送系统影响最大、颗粒粒径对输送系统影响最小,对工况的选取提供理论依据。

Abstract: For procedure analysis and parameters selection in hydraulic pipe of gas hydrate deep-sea mining system, slurry flow velocity, pipe diameter, mineral density, particle diameter and volume fraction as well as the range of the parameters in vertical hard pipe of the system were presented. The 14 kinds of schemes were listed, and divided into four groups based on the above parameters. Based on the Eulerian model of FLUENT software, SIMPLE algorithm and standard k-ε turbulence model were used for numerical simulation and schemes analysis. The results show that the volume fraction of particles is high near the inlet in the vertical pipe, while smaller to the direction of outlet, and that particles concentrate to the center; slurry flow velocity is large in the center area, slightly larger than slurry inlet flow velocity, while small near the pipe wall, close to 0 m/s; the optimal scheme which combined simulation results with the relationship between pressure loss, resistance loss and efficiency is that pipe diameter is 300 mm, slurry flow velocity is 1.65 m/s, mineral density is 1 190 kg/m3, particle diameter is 10 mm and volume fraction is 25%. The large pipe diameter, low flow velocity, small mineral density, small particle diameter and high volume fraction are beneficial for gas hydrate pipe hydraulic lifting, mineral density has the greatest influence on transportation system, and particle diameter has the minimum influence on transportation system, which can provide theory basis for selection of operating condition.
