Optimization of the propeller turbine position in a pit
Duda, Petr ; Štefan, David (referee) ; Rudolf, Pavel (advisor)
The thesis contains basic information about propeler turbines. It deals with the correct location in the fountain so as to ensure the highest possible performance. Part of the work is devoted to the all-weather resulting blade to blade channels and their impact on the room is filled with diffuser.
Study of Surface Vortex Behaviour
Illík, Jakub ; Rudolf, Pavel (referee) ; Štigler, Jaroslav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis studies surface vortex and its time evolution. The theoretical part introduces an elementary set of equations used to describe vortex motion. The experimental part focuses mainly on defining the shape of surface vortex in enclosed space. A special program to process recorded images was developed in order to detect a part of the vortex. The entire surface profile is subsequently determined by fitting with curve of Cauchy probability distribution.
Intake vortex modeling
Galuška, Jiří ; Kozák, Jiří (referee) ; Rudolf, Pavel (advisor)
This paper covers information research of basic design rules of industrial wet sumps. It describes mathematical models of vortices and method for their identification and visualization. Then the author focuses on CFD modeling of surface vortices with single phase and multiphase approach with Volume of Fluid method. Basic principles of multiphase CFD modelling in OpenFOAM and ANSYS Fluent are given. Description and benchmarking of suitable turbulence models is also present. The single phase and multiphase approach were successfully validated for a simple test case of bathtub surface vortex. Satisfactory agreement with experimental data was achieved. The accuracy and behavior of both solvers were compared between each other. This gives us useful tool for evaluation of inflow condition and danger of surface vortex occurrence in wet sumps. The acquired knowledges were used to design an experimental test case with geometry similar to industrial wet sump. A map of surface vortex occurrence has been created for different operating points. One of the operating point has been used for numerical simulation (both single phase and multiphase). Partial agreement with experimental observation has been achieved.
Safety submersion depth of small hydro-power plant Vydra 2 inlet
Jobánek, Stanislav ; Žoužela,, Michal (referee) ; Šulc, Jan (advisor)
The thesis deals the measurement results on a physical model of the inlet part of the small hydro-power plant Vydra 2. The influence of the shape and location of the intake into the pressure pipe of small hydro-power plant Vydra 2 with respect to the water surface state was analysed. The work also deals with possibilities of using devices to eliminate the generation of vortex of higher intensities.
Fluid flow analysis in the open cylindrical container with the free surface vortex
Illík, Jakub ; Klas, Roman (referee) ; Štigler, Jaroslav (advisor)
This master's thesis analyses fluid flow in an open cylindrical tank with vortex using numerical simulation. The theoretical part introduces a set of equations governing fluid flow and relations used to describe vortex motion. A general overview of terms used in computational fluid dynamics is presented. The experimental section consists of three parts. The vortex modelling is performed using ANSYS Fluent software. Data are consequently analysed within ANSYS CFD-Post software tool. Special focus is put on the vortex shape that is fitted with a curve corresponding to a probability density function of the Cauchy distribution. Results are then plotted in MATLAB software.
