Abstract: For Francis hydraulic turbines, unsteady flow caused by vortex ropes in the draft tube leads to a problem of stability in operation. The unsteady flow field of a model Francis hydraulic ...

For most of us, the word "turbomachinery" may conjure up images of superheroes or fast exotic cars, but in reality most people leverage turbomachinery to get things done nearly every day.

Simulation programs are increasingly getting a work out in the design of wind turbines and wind farms. One reason: As the size and number of wind power Simulation programs are increasingly getting a ...

Abstract: Simulation analysis of turbulence is one of the key technologies for design, development, use and maintenance of fluid machinery. In this paper, aiming at the heat transfer problem of the ...

Increasingly fierce competition driven by deregulation and privatization is putting downward pressure on power plant operations and maintenance (O&M) budgets. Recently, lower natural gas prices have ...

This page contains all simulation cases, modified libraries and post-processing tools from the Master Thesis "CFD Simulation of a Floating Wind Turbine with OpenFOAM: an FSI approach based on the ...

ABSTRACT: To investigate the influence of additional device on the flow in marine current turbine, two additional devices for ma- rine current turbine including short diffuser and long diffuser types ...

ABSTRACT: The present work provides an exhaustive examination of the impact that physical mechanical thermal and tribological properties of materials have on the operational performance of Francis ...
