Projective Modeling of Hydraulic Turbine Draft Tube Elbow Part Based on Pro/E

Abstract

According to the CFD numerical simulation of hydraulic turbine internal flow and simulation calculation of vortex and cavitation of draft tube, and in the three dimensional modeling and analysis of the draft tube elbow is found that commonly modeling methods are tedious process, there is more deviations, not conducive to modify the part size and flow over a smooth. This article proposes a projective modeling method to avoid some drawbacks of traditional methods; the modeling process is convenient and concise, easy to modify the local size, flow more smoothly, and achieve more accurate simulation process.
