Harnessing the remaining energy downstream of dams has recently attained great attention
as the kinetic energy transported by the water current is indeed considerable. This work
develops a study on the performance of a horizontal-axis hydro turbine under di!user e!ect,
in order to quantify the energy gain by comparing both turbines with and without di!user.
A 3-bladed hydro turbine with 10 m diameter shrouded by a flanged conical di!user is
employed. A numerical modeling using computational fluid dynamics is carried out based
on the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes formulation, using the Ÿ – Ê – SST (Shear Stress
Transport) turbulence model. The results yield good agreement with experimental and
theorical data available in literature. |
