A Comparative Numerical Analysis for Vortex Generation on Different Geometries

Abstract

—Demand for renewable energy is escalating in the present world where power generation through generating vortex which is the whirling mass of fluid plays a crucial role in being harmless for the environment. This study is composed of analyzing different structures of vortex chamber by implementing several conditions for extracting the finest vortex generation that will be efficient enough to move the runner blades for the production of electricity. Two different geometries of vortex chamber of different diameters along with channel with a contraction section are carried out for simulation through ANSYS CFD after modeling in CAD for the comparison for most befitting vortex generation is obtained by differentiating through pressure, velocity, swirling strength, and from different diameters of the vortex chamber.
