  2. 1. Analytical and Numerical Investigations of Steady and Unsteady Turbulent Swirling Flow in Diffusers

    Author : Walter Gyllenram; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; draft tube; diffuser; LES; vortex breakdown; turbulence; CFD; swirling flow;

    Abstract : Swirling flows are found in many technical applications, e.g. turbines, pumps, fans, compressors and combustors. The objective of the present work is to acquire an understanding of the physics of swirling flow in general and unsteady swirling flow in draft tubes of water turbines in particular. READ MORE

  4. 2. Effects of boundary conditions and unsteadiness on draft tube flow

    Author : Michel Cervantes; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : The present research focuses on flow properties of the elbow draft tube. This element has a major function in low head turbines, since up to half of the losses may arise there at part load. The use of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) to redisign a draft tube necessitates detailed knowledged of the boundary conditions. READ MORE

    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; turbulence; vortex; draft tube; hydro turbine; filter; RANS; LES; swirling flow;

    Abstract : Swirling flows are common in technical applications, e.g. turbines, pumps, fans, compressors and combustors. READ MORE

  6. 4. An exerimental study of the flow in a sharp-heel draft tube

    Author : Urban Andersson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : The goal of the Turbine 99 Draft Tube experiments is to provide extensive experimental data on a well-defined sharp-heel draft-tube flow. The data bank has served as calibration data for the simulation challenge presented by the Turbine 99 workshop in Porjus in June 1999. READ MORE

  7. 5. An experimental study of the flow in a sharp-heel Kaplan draft tube

    Author : Urban Andersson; Torbjørn K Nilsen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : This research project was originally part of a package (Turbine-99 Draft Tube) that had a mutual goal, to improve the understanding of draft tube flow and establish Best Practise Guidelines for simulation of draft tube flow.The draft tube is situated after the runner in a Hydropower turbine to recover as much of the remaining head and kinetic energy as possible before the water leaves the turbine.
