Abstract
The nozzle of cross-flow turbine has to give a certain circumferential velocity and an optimum angle to the flow at the nozzle exit (runner inlet). Therefore the nozzle shape has an important influence upon the turbine performance. Its shape is asymmetric and complicated, and the exit flow from it has the free boundaries. The flow from such a nozzle has not enough analyzed until now because of complications of its flow. In this report, the flow from a nozzle with arbitrary asymmetric curved surfaces was calculated numerically with a Schwarz-Christoffel method, In order to estimate the accuracy of this method, the calculation results of the flow a cross-flow turbine nozzle are compared with experimental ones. Furthermore, the effects of nozzle shape on the exit flow are investigated.
