Hydraulic Turbine Blades Modeling Based on Two-Dimensional Wooden Patterns

Abstract:

There are many difficulties to design, processing and research on numerical simulation for Francis turbine because of the complexity of blade shape and the difficulty of solid modeling. Based on two-dimensional wooden patterns of Francis turbine blades, this article aims to complete blades three-dimensional modeling for Francis turbine runner with long and short blades by means of Pro-E software which has powerful 3D modeling function. After comparing three kinds of available methods to generate blade across section which provided by Pro-E, finally completed blades three-dimensional modeling by method of generating across section with point files, established a smooth and accurate three-dimensional model. The method provides an accurate physical model for the numerical simulation of the Francis turbine with long and short blades, as well as provides a feasible approach for hydro-mechanical blades modeling.
