Title : An underwater mooring platform water turbine with a horizontal axis, modelled and simulated for numerical purposes

Author : Karnati Raghavendra, V.Santosh Kumar, V.Nagesh

Abstract :

A horizontal axis water turbine is planned to provide electricity for Underwater Moored Platforms (UMPs) to keep them running for longer. In a moored position, the UMPs may be charged by opening the turbine's controlled blades to create electricity. The properties of the turbine's power output, thrust, and wake are investigated by three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. In particular, the impact of the turbine's placement during installation is taken into account. The shear stress transport k-u turbulent model is used for the simulations, which are based on the Reynolds Averaged NavierStokes (RANS) equations. Using previously collected experimental data, the numerical technique is verified. When placed towards the UMP's tail, the modeling results reveal that this turbine's power coefficient reaches its maximum of 0.327. We also talk about the flow configuration around the blade and in the wake.
