Design of Francis Turbine and Openfoam Methods

本書為學術界和業界專業人士提供了一個全面的指南，介紹了水力渦輪機的設計和優化，特別關注弗朗西斯渦輪機。本書涵蓋了弗朗西斯渦輪機的主要尺寸，包括轉輪、導翼和分配器。作者選擇了免費的開源CFD軟件OpenFOAM，供讀者進行模擬。儘管已有一些相關文獻存在，但本書通過詳細介紹CFD方法的三個階段，使自己與眾不同。作者還逐步描述了如何為水力機械創建一個新的求解器，以考慮沉積物侵蝕。內容以易於理解的方式呈現，以幫助讀者快速掌握材料。本書適用於相關領域的專家、本科和研究生學生、研究人員和其他對設計適合的弗朗西斯渦輪機或模擬旋轉機器的多相流場感興趣的專業人士。
