    Summary Water Turbine-CFD

    Cross-flow water turbines have a drum-shaped rotor with fixed disks at both ends connected by curved buckets. Water enters through a guide and transfers impulse force inside the drum before exiting at ambient pressure. This pressure change converts kinetic energy into mechanical energy. The angular momentum of water flowing through the buckets produces torque to drive a generator for small hydroelectric systems. Key components include the runner disks and buckets, nozzle to create high-speed water flows, and housing to prevent splashing. Advantages are low cost, good regulation, and high efficiency from water passing through the impeller twice, while disadvantages include difficulty self-starting and slightly lower maximum efficiency than other turbine types.

    Cross-Flow Water Turbines

     Savonius Turbine
    Crossflow Turbine Working:

    Crossflow turbine has a drum-shaped rotor with fixed disks at both ends, and trough-designed
    buckets connect the two disks. The water is led from the inlet guide to the rotor. The inlet
    guide guides the water under pressure to the rotor for the first time, transfers the impulse force
    inside the drum. After this process, the water passes the rotor and leaves the turbine at
    ambient pressure.
    The cross-flow turbine then changes the water pressure and converts it into mechanical
    energy. This effect reduces the pressure drop in very little amount across the buckets of the
    turbine and improves efficiency. Most part of the energy extracts from the top buckets
    (around 75%) and the remaining 25% from the bottom buckets.
    The angular momentum of the water flowing through the turbine rotor buckets converts the
    kinetic energy of the water into torque on the output shaft, with which the generator can be
    driven in a small hydroelectric system. The cross-flow water turbine then turns the coil of the
    generator coupled to the electrical load. Depending on the building, the generator supplies
    electricity to a building or an industrial area.

    1. Runner
    The runner includes in the most important components of the cross-flow turbine. It makes
    of two parallel discs in which several curved buckets are used to connect them. The
    impeller is a hollow circular cross-section of the turbine that supports both ends of the
    curved buckets.
    2. Nozzle
    The nozzle is an integral part of the turbine and can create high-speed water flows. The
    jet of water hits the impeller buckets and converts potential energy into kinetic energy.
    The nozzle also includes in the most important components of the cross-flow turbine.
    3. Buckets:
    The edges of the buckets are sharp to decrease water flow resistance. The cross-sectional
    area of the bucket metal is circular. The blade’s ends are welded to the disc to make a
    cage that resembles a hamster cage. This is sometimes referred to as a “squirrel cage
    turbine“.
    4. Housings:
    The housing of the cross-flow turbine prevents from the splashing of water in the outside
    area.

    Crossflow Turbine Advantages and Disadvantages:


    Advantages:
    1. It has a very low price.
    2. These turbines have good regulation.
    3. It does not require too much maintenance.
    4. Crossflow turbine is more dependable as compared to other types.
    5. The efficiency is high when the water flows through the impeller twice.
    6. These are mainly used in micro and small hydroelectric plants.
    7. The benefit is that it also removes small contaminants and debris from the impeller when
    the water leaves the impeller.
    8. The annual efficiency generated by the flat efficiency curve is superior to other turbine
    systems, especially for the mini-run of the water power plants.
    9. The output of belt power can come from both sides of the cross-flow water turbine.
    Disadvantages:
    1. Problems for self-starting
    2. It reduces the coefficient of performance.
    3. The maximum efficiency of the cross-flow turbine is slightly lower than the maximum
    efficiency of Pelton, Francis, and Kaplan turbines.
