Meshes and the flow domain model selected influence the predicted flow solution in hydraulic turbines like Kaplan, Francis. Read to know more
Cavitation in turbines is the phenomenon in which vapour bubbles form rapidly and collapse within a liquid. It occurs when the static pressure becomes smaller than the liquid’s vapour pressure.
Francis turbines generate power by impulse and lift force. This article explains the Francis turbine’s working mechanism and flow physics.
