Abstract

The flow in a stationary Pelton bucket is simulated by a Moving-Particle Semi-Implicit Method (MPS). The bucket is set at three angular positions so that different inlet conditions can be imposed. In the MPS method, the solid wall of the bucket has to be represented by the same calculation particles as the particles for fluid, though a Pelton bucket has complicated 3D shape. Therefore, a simple method arranging the wall particles is proposed. The particle and pressure distributions on the bucket are presented in this paper.
