Numerical investigation of flow recirculation in a draft tube

Abstract: A numerical investigation of turbulent flow in a draft tube with and without an opening (slot) in the top of each of its three outlet channels is presented. A commercial CFD code, CFX-5, is used to solve the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and a standard k-ε turbulence model with a scalable wall-function. The case for no slots was compared with the cases of three mass flow rates into the slots. The results demonstrate that values of the overall pressure coefficient and velocity head obtained for vari… Show more

“…Nevertheless, examples of successful application can also be found in a wide range of cases: from wind forces on photovoltaic panels (Edgar et al, 2015) to anti-icing systems for wings (Hannat et al, 2014) or hydro power intakes (Bermúdez et al, 2017;Gabl et al, 2018). This commercial code is well validated for free surface (Andersson et al, 2013;De Cesare et al, 2001) and pressurized flow conditions (Adam et al, 2016b;Adane et al, 2008;Gabl et al, 2014bGabl et al, , 2018Seibl, 2016;.…”
