摘要

The three-dimensional unsteady turbulent flow is studied numerically in the whole flow passage of hydraulic turbine, and vortex flow in the draft tube is predicted accurately in this paper. The numerical prediction is based on the Navier-Stokes equations and Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) model. The SIMPLE algorithm with the body-fitted coordinate and tetrahedroid grid system is applied for the solution of the discretization governing equations.
