Cfd simulation of multiple array arrangement of micro hydro power turbines

Micro Hydro Power (MHP) turbines were used to generate energy with a water flow. This energy is useful to the mankind. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software was used to simulate the water flow over MHP turbines as they are placed in a river domain. Multiple arrays arrangement of MHP turbines l...
