Improvement of the Runner Design of Francis Turbine using Computational Fluid Dynamics
2011
American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences
Problem statement: The objective of this study is to improve runner design of the Francis turbine and analyze its performance with the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. Approach: A runner design process uses a direct method with the following design conditions: flow rate of 3.12m 3 /sec head of 46.4 m and speed of 750 rpm or dimensionless specific speed of 0.472. Results: The first stage involves the calculation of various dimensions such as the blade inlet and exit angle at hub and
