Numerical investigation of cavitation performance and critical sigma characterization in a 55 kW propeller turbine

IntroductionThis study presents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) investigation of cavitation performance in a 55 kW horizontal-axis propeller turbine using ANSYS CFX.MethodsA total of 43 steady-state RANS simulations were performed employing the SST k–ω turbulence model and the Zwart–Gerber–Bela...
