Vortex rope mitigation with azimuthal perturbations: A numerical study
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract A novel method to mitigate the rotating vortex rope is investigated numerically on a propeller turbine using ANSYS CFX. Pulsating momentum is injected in a horizontal plane in the diffuser cone from four evenly spaced jets. Three mitigation strategies are tested; M1 in which the momentum is injected perpendicular to the axial ...
