Analysis of operation in flowing part of axial flow turbine on the basis of numerical simulation of three-dimensional flow of viscous liquid

Applied hydromechanics, Vol. 14 (86) ¹ 3, (2012) p.45-54
The results of the three-dimensional viscous incompressible flow numerical research are presented for vertical axis Kaplan turbine, which developed on head of 20 m. The flow simulation was carried out on the basis of numerical integration of the Reynolds equations with two-parameter Menter turbulence model (SST). The numerical simulations were realized using the CFD software package FlowER-U. The analysis of the flow structure, averaged parameters and energy losses in all elements of turbine setting are described.
KEY WORDS:
