Mathematical Modeling of the Correction of the Shape of the Rotor of the Hydraulic Unit in a Three-Dimensional Setting

Abstract

The presented work is devoted to the wedging of the rotor rim of the hydraulic unit to restore its geometry. To assess the technical condition of the rotor, measurements of its shape are performed beforehand. The shape of the rotor is decomposed into a Fourier series, and the location of its geometric axis and ellipticity are determined. Based on this, a decision is made about the need for work on the centering of the hydraulic unit. Then, the vibrations of the critical components of the hydraulic unit are measured at idle without excitation and with excitation, under load in generator and pump modes to assess the possibility of its further operation. At this stage, the reasons for the unsatisfactory vibration condition of the hydraulic unit are determined. At the last stage, the boundary conditions are determined and the problem statement is performed for performing a mechanical calculation in a three-dimensional setting to take into account expansions that compensate for mechanical deformations. The calculation itself is carried out and a decision is made to wedge the rotor rim of the hydraulic unit.
