Investigation of 3D flow in Typical Body and Decrease its Drag Coefficient at Hight Reynolds, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Abbaspoor, Majid (Supervisor) ; Rad, Manoochehr (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
Rapid growth in energy consumption and environmental concerns over conventional power generation technologies has increased the need for alternative energy sources. Kinetic hydropower has been available for decades, however, despite its minimal environmental impact, commercialization has been limited. The main purpose of the first part of this thesis is investigation of flow properties near the convergent-divergent nozzles with various geometries. Two parameters that studied include variation of drag force on body and mean velocity of water flow in middle cross section. In the second part, we studied a horizontal marine current turbine (which its geometry is taken from a NREL wind...
