Abstract

In this study, a model of two-stage Weis-Fogh type water turbine model is proposed, the hydrodynamic characteristics of this water turbine model are calculated by the advanced vortex method. The basic conditions and the motion of each wing are the same as that of the single-stage model previously proposed by the same author. The two wings (NACA0010 airfoils) and both channel walls are approximated by source and vortex panels, and free vortices are introduced from the body surfaces. The distance between the front wing axis and the rear wing axis, and the phase difference between the motion of the two wings, which is in phase and out of phase are set as the calculation parameters. For each case, the unsteady flow fields, pressure fields, force coefficients, and efficiency of the two wings are calculated, and the hydrodynamic characteristics of the proposed water turbine model are discussed.

연구는 직렬 2단 Weis-Fogh형 수차모델을 제안하고, 이 수차모델의 유체역학적 특성을 개선 와법으로 수치계산한 것이다. 기본조건 및 각 날개의 움직임은 이전에 저자가 제안한 단단 수차모델에서와 같게 했다. 두 날개(NACA0010 airfoils) 및 양쪽 수로벽은 소스 및 볼텍스 판넬로 근사하였고, 자유볼텍스는 각 물체 표면 전체에서 도입하였다. 계산변수로는 앞날개와 뒷날개의 날개 축 사이의 거리 및 두 날개 운동의 위상차 즉 동위상과 역위상으로 했다. 각 경우에 대해 비정상 유동장 및 압력장 그리고 두 날개에 작용하는 힘의 계수 및 효율을 계산하였고, 이 수차모델의 유체역학적 특성을 논의하였다.
