Particle impact prediction of an archimedes screw runner blade for micro hydro turbine

Energy is one of the important sources in the world and important for developing countries. In rural and remote areas, transmission and distribution of energy generated from fossil fuels can be difficult and expensive and producing renewable energy such as water turbine can locally offer a viable al...

description Energy is one of the important sources in the world and important for developing countries. In rural and remote areas, transmission and distribution of energy generated from fossil fuels can be difficult and expensive and producing renewable energy such as water turbine can locally offer a viable alternative. The subject study is conducted to investigate the flow behaviour of water inside the turbine and predict the impact of particle towards blade surface. For this reasons, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods are used. The three-dimensional flow of fluid is numerically analysed using the Navier-Stokes equation with standard k-ε turbulence model by applying some boundaries condition such as steady state flow condition, isentropic flow and isothermal temperature.
