Abstract

This paper presents analysis of different inlet/outlet guide vane angles for an Impulse turbine with fixed guide vanes used for wave energy power conversion. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been used to analyze different inlet and outlet angles in 2D cascade with incompressible flows. The blade and guide vane geometry is based on 0.6m rotor diameter, with optimum blade profile, and a hub to tip ratio of 0.6. Different angles were analyzed and efficiencies at different flow conditions were plotted to find the optimum inlet and outlet angle for upstream and downstream fixed guide vanes.
