Metodología de diseño y simulación hidrodinámica de una microturbina tipo Kaplan usando herramientas computacionales Authors: Sanchéz-Ríos, Carlos Andrés, Cardona-Mancilla, Cristian Camilo, Sierra del Río, Jorge, Hincapié-Zuluaga, Diego Andrés

“…This paper evaluates a simulation model of a six blades Kaplan microtur­bine; with this, the effect caused by the pitch variation of the turbine when obtaining power at the output shaft is parametrically analyzed implement­ing different rotation speeds of the latter, related to the surrounding water flow. The geometry is simplified to reduce the processing time, discretiza­tion and the model analysis; the simulation was performed under defined boundary conditions and using computational fluid dynamics. …”
