Abstract

This paper presents the comparison of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis with Experimental analysis of 0.6m Impulse Turbine with Fixed Guide Vanes used for wave energy power conversion. A 2D-cascade model was used for CFD analysis while uni-directional steady flow was used for experimental analysis. The blade and guide vane geometry is based on 0.6m rotor diameter, with optimum profile, and a hub to tip ratio of 0.6. The aim of this paper is to report comparison of CFD performance data with experimental results, and to benchmark/validate CFD analysis.
