This paper presents the design process and structural characteristics of the runner and other parts of the bulb tubular turbine this the authors analysis for reference.
A finite element method for solving the flow field between bulb and conduit of bulb tubular turbine is given in this paper. It can be used for searching the optimal configuration of the bulb body.
The software FLUENT for 3d viscous turbulent flow is used to analyze the influence of gravity on flow field analysis and hydraulic performance evaluation of bulb turbine.
