CFD analysis was used for calculation of energetic characteristics of the Saxo turbine type TS4 with blade geometry labeled LitC. Hydraulic shape of the blade was designed in Litostroj; model tests have been undertaken at Turboinštitut (Report number: 2934 in 2894). The main objective was to build and validate numerical model; to compare calculated energetic and hydraulic characteristics and to estimate accuracy of the CFD results from the aspect of turbine order without model tests. CFD analysis of whole water passage has never been performed in Litostroj jet.

COBISS.SI-ID: 23275559CFD analysis was used for evaluation of energetic characteristics for Saxo turbine TS5-SX3 with blade, which is hydraulically equivalvent to blades used at prototypes of HPP Magpie, Chute Allard and Rapides-des-Coeurs. Model tests have been undertaken at Turboinštitut (report numbers: 2856 in 2858). The main objective was to validate again procedures for CFD caluclations, to validate measured energetic and hydraulic characteristics and to evaluate accuracy of CFD results.
