The Modeling of Cross Flow Runner With Computational Fluid Dynamics on Microhydro Tube

Abstract

The Model of Fluid Dynamics Computation (CFD) aims to obtain cross-tubine flow in microhydro tubes. The parameters used to determine the cross flow turbine power are the blade angle, the number of cross runner blades and the head tube as the production house. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is software that can load integral and partial equations into discrete algebraic equations (addition, multiplication, multiplication and division) that can be used with the help of computers to find solutions for sources and times. In the era of technology, the development of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) program is very fast making this method a trend in various fields of industry that utilizes a comparison of pure experimental data and pure theory. The study of turbine cross flow power on microhydro tubes shows 1213 Watt power on the parameters of blade number 16, blade angle of 150 and 200 at head 4 meters.
