Abstract

This project will improve the hydrodynamic performance of the undershot waterwheel turbine with a flow concentrator designed by the Participant, using a computational fluid dynamics study. The influence of different result parameters including the number of blades, turbine profile, submerged depth, tip speed ratio, concentrator geometry and wave + current conditions will be assessed to maximize power performance and minimize structural loads.
