3D Cavitations Turbulent Transient Calculation in the Francis Turbine Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

Analysis had been carried out, based on the three-dimensional transient viscous turbulent calculation of a Francis turbine full flow field, the complete cavitations model and the two-phase mixture flow model were combined during the calculation, more accurate numerical solution had been obtained. According to the simulation results, the site and extent of cavitations in the turbine flow were reflected within the specific conditions, and were more consistent with the cavitations phenomenon observed in the model experiment, also provided a reference for the more in-depth research.
