This study is related with numerical modeling of a Francis turbine draft tube. In order to reveal this relationship, a real Francis turbine model test results are used as inputs of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study. Firstly, the flow in divergent ch…

Energy dissipaters used in open channels are devices designed to reduce the flow velocity and allow water to pass downstream without harming water structures and environment. In this study the effect of energy dissipaters on energy loss is investigated depende…

The industrial–style designs affecting today’s perception of designs in a huge velocity has emerged first by the industrial revolution. Although being time–dependent and taking longer time and economically highcost product, the handcraft has allowed the indus…

Renewable energy can be produced by using kinetic energy of the flowing water such as rivers, ocean currents and tidal flows. The kinetic energy can be transformed to the power by hydrokinetic turbines. There are many different designs of hydrokinetic turbin…

In this study, mixed convection heat transfer and fluid flow in a three-dimensional horizontal duct with three different geometries of cavity were investigated numerically. Air flows in a square duct which is heated by a cavity with triangular, a rectangular a…
