Flow Modeling and Runner Design Optimization in Turgo Water Turbines
The incorporation of computational fluid dynamics in the design of modern hydraulic turbines appears to be necessary in order to improve their efficiency and cost-effectiveness beyond the traditional design practices. A numerical optimization methodology is developed and applied in the present work to a Turgo water turbine. The fluid is simulated by a Lagrangian mesh-free approach that can prov...

متن کاملDevelopments in ducted water current turbines
Unlike conventional hydro and tidal barrage installations, water current turbines in open flow can generate power from flowing water with almost zero environmental impact, over a much wider range of sites than those available for conventional tidal power generation. Recent developments in current turbine design are reviewed and some potential advantages of ducted or “diffuser-augmented” current...
متن کاملFlow Misalignment and Tidal Stream Turbines
Extensive Research and Development (R&D) within the tidal energy industry is pushing this sector towards commercial viability, with full scale prototypes starting to meet the challenges of the marine environment. This paper combines velocity data collected from Ramsey Sound (Pembrokeshire, Wales), with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to assess the impact of non-rectilinear flows on turbine r...
متن کاملHydrodynamic Optimization of Cross-flow Turbines with Large Chord to Radius Ratios
INTRODUCTION Cross-flow turbines present several advantages over axial flow types for power generation from moving water. First, the rectangular form factor is well suited to take advantage of the hydrokinetic energy often concentrated in shallow channels. This form factor presents an opportunity to construct arrays with high blockage (ratio of swept area to channel cross-sectional area), poten...
