摘要
A twin unidirectional impulse turbine for wave energy conversion has been suggested in our previous study, and the performance under unsteady flow has been investigated by quasi-steady analysis. In the present study, the performance of twin impulse turbine under unsteady flow condition has been investigated by unsteady analysis of Computational fluid dynamics. As a result, the mean efficiency of twin unidirectional impulse turbine under unsteady flow is lower than the maximum efficiency of unidirectional impulse turbine. Moreover, it is verified that airflow goes backward in the reverse turbine in low flow rates. © 2016 Turbomachinery Society of Japan. All rights reserved.
