Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the optimum configuration of nozzle shape to further optimize the cross-flow hydraulic turbine structure and improve the performance. The results show that CFD analysis for the cross-flow turbine can be adopted as a useful method to examine the internal flow and turbine performance in detail. Pressure on the runner blade in Stage 1 and velocity at nozzle outlet have close relation to the turbine performance. The performance characteristics of cross-flow turbine have both impulse turbine and reaction turbine simultaneously.
