6 NUMERICAL INVESTIGATIONS 6.1 Numerical Method
Numerical simulations are carried out employing a commercial CFD code (ANSYS CFX v11). The solver is using a full-scale time-marching 3D viscous model. Underlying equations, three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in their conservation form, are being solved by using a Finite Volume method, where equations are integrated over the finite control volumes. Thereby, the solution domain is subdivided into a finite number of control volumes employing a suitable grid, which defines the control boundaries around a computational node in each control volume center. 6.1.1 Governing equations In fluid dynamics, the fluid flow is governed by the conservation laws for mass, momentum and energy. The basic conservation laws are formulated by using Leibniz-Reynolds transport theorem, which is an integral relation stating that the changes of some intensive property defined over a control volume must be equal to what is lost (or gained) through the boundaries of the volume plus what is created/consumed by sources and sinks inside the control volume.

This solution is then used as initial value for the transient simulation. In the unsteady simulations, the motion of the center blade was prescribed by a set of equations for the requested mode. The correctness of the imposed motion is confirmed by an analytical model. A timemarching solution was acquired spanning typically 3 oscillation periods. The flow could be regarded as time periodic already after the second oscillation cycle (criterion used: >0.5% phase-locked difference). A time trace of unsteady pressure coefficient at a chosen point on the blade surface is presented in Figure 6.3. One oscillation period was resolved by 20 time steps and with three iteration loops per time

    In experiment 2 our main objective was to understand the analysis of resistors, inductors and capacitors in a sine wave circuit. we measured the impedance of the inductor and capacitor using a current sensing resistor. Inductive reactance is the opposition to the flow of current, and capacitive reactance is the opposition to the flow of charge. The tools we used for this experiment a pair of resistors, an inductor, a capacitor, dual channel oscilloscope, audio oscillator, and a digital multimeter. Using the oscilloscope we where able to measure the devises easily. Using the audio oscillator too change our setting to the wright context we measured the Vrms of our circuits. Using the Vrms we were able to find all of our unknowns using equations and our knowledge of circuit analysis.…

    Abstract. Diffuser augmented tidal turbines are getting enormous attention due to their immense potential to increase the generated power output. Researchers around the globe are investing considerable time and financial resources in this domain. Limited research results are available for diffuser augmented tidal turbines due to their emerging nature, large and costly research and development setup, startup cost and proprietary issues. Turbine enclosed in a diffuser is based on the principle that the generated power output by a tidal turbine is directly proportional to the cube of velocity of incoming fluid flow. Thus, even a minor increase in velocity considerably increases the generated power output. The diffuser helps accelerate the incoming fluid flow. Hence, the efficiency of the turbine is significantly increased by using a diffuser. It is challenging to accelerate the incoming flow by using a diffuser due to its shape, geometry and fabrication limitations. The diffuser design requires great deal of innovation and time investment. The purpose of this paper is to present the study of 2D model of diffuser for tidal current turbine. The study involves developing a 2D CFD model of diffuser, acquiring simulation results and comparison with experimental results. The mesh is generated in ICEM followed by simulation in CFX. The…
