Abstract

This paper describes numerical analysis of the impulse turbine with fixed guide vanes, a high performance bi-directional air turbine having simple structure for wave energy conversion. The numerical analysis of the 2-dimensional incompressible viscous flow based on the full Reynold-averaged Navier-Stokes equations which was made to investigate the internal flow behavior. Numerical results are compared with experimental data obtained by T.Setoguchi laboratory. As a result, as suitable choice of design factor has been clarified with the understanding of the internal flow from the numerical analysis.
