摘要
The simulations of the three-dimensional turbulent flows through hydraulic turbine components[1] were conducted based on the standard k-Ε turbulent model with body-fitted coordinates and staggering grid system. The SIMPLEC algorithm was adopted in the numerical procedure. A new method to treat the periodic boundary condition was used. The calculated results of the new method were compared with those of traditional ones. These results indicate that the new method can give much better results, and can be used in simulating flow through rotational impellers. The presented method can be combined with alternative turbulent model or employed in large eddy simulation.
