Numerical Simulation of Water Flow through a Nano-Hydraulic Turbine of Waterfall-Type by Particle Method

This study simulates the flow through an impulse-type small-scale hydraulic turbine utilizing a waterfall of extra-low head. The two-dimensional Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) method is employed for the simulation. The fluid is discretized by particles, and the flow is computed by the Lagrangia...
