Abstract

The results of the three-dimensional viscous incompressible flow numerical research are presented for vertical axis Kaplan turbine, which developed on head of 20 m. The numerical simulations were realized using the CFD software package FlowER−U. The analysis of the flow structure character for the four operating modes and energy losses at turbine draft tube are described.
