LES of turbulent flow in 3D skew blade passage of a reacting hydro turbine

摘要

The turbulent flow in a reacting hydro turbine was simulated with large eddy simulation (LES) to investigate the spatial and temporal distributions of the turbulence in a 3D skew blade passage. The simulations show that the intrinsic features are quite complicated. LES can capture the details of the structures, and the results are generally agreeable with those by direct numerical simulation.
