Improvement of hydro-turbine draft tube efficiency using vortex generator

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2015
Computational fluid dynamics simulation was employed in a hydraulic turbine (from inlet tube to draft tube). The calculated turbine efficiencies were compared with measured results, and the relative error is 1.12%.

Effect of Air Injection on the Internal Flow Characteristics in the Draft Tube of a Francis Turbine Model

open access: yesProcesses, 2021
Under low flow-rate conditions, a Francis turbine exhibits precession of a vortex rope with pressure fluctuations in the draft tube. These undesirable flow phenomena can lead to deterioration of the turbine performance as manifested by torque and power ...

Effect of draft tube diameter on nitrogen removal from domestic sewage in a draft tube type reactor

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 1998
The effect of the ratio of draft tube diameter to reactor diameter (Di/Do) on the efficiency of nitrogen removal from domestic sewage is discussed based on liquid-circulating flow rate and continuous treatment data. More than 2.5 minutes of circulation time in the annulus part, which is required to create an anoxic zone, could be maintained under ...

Computational fluid dynamics simulation and geometric design of hydraulic turbine draft tube

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2015
Any hydraulic reaction turbine is installed with a draft tube that impacts widely the entire turbine performance, on which its functions are as follows: drive the flux in appropriate manner after it releases its energy to the runner; recover the suction ...
