Thermodynamic modeling of rolling fluid turbine
Kincl, Ondřej ; Pavelka, Michal (advisor) ; Hron, Jaroslav (referee)
in English Ondřej Kincl 21 May 2020 Rolling turbine is a small hydraulic turbine invented by Doc. Ing. Miroslav Sedláček CSc. in 1998. This turbine is bladeless, exhibits various interesting behaviour and operates on the basis of a yet unknown hydraulic principle. This thesis attempts to find an explanation using incompressible Navier- Stokes equations. We will introduce the concept of drag inversion - the idea that fluid force in rolling turbines is a positive feedback to the motion itself. This is explained in a simplified model using analytical methods. These results are then verified in a numerical simulation.
