3 INTRODUCTION  Use a Numerical methods  Introduced the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH)

4 TEST CONFIGURATION Geometry of Pelton turbine Numerical methods Computational mesh

5 Geometry of Pelton turbine  The performance curve measured from the experiment was available at different injector configurations and different rotational speeds of the turbine runner  In this numerical study, the position of needles was fixed to provide the mass flow rate of 45.8 kg/s through two injectors, and only the rotating speed was changed.

6 Numerical methods  In this study, the flow field inside the Pelton turbine has been calculated using a commercial flow solver, ANSYS CFX-14. The three-dimensional (3D) Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations, including Table 1.

9 COMPUTATIONAL RESULTS  The performance of Pelton turbine can be characterized by three non-dimensional parameters such as the flow coefficient(cifra caudal), the head coefficient(cifra Presion), and the overall efficiency

10  The predicted efficiency is in good agreement with the experimental data, and the difference between the computation and the experiment is about 3.5% points at 600 r/min. The overall efficiency of grid 2 is a little bit higher than grid 1 by about 1.2% points.

14 CONCLUSIONS  The maximum efficiency of a Pelton turbine can be achieved with the optimum operating speed of a turbine runner, at which the maximum torque occurs when the water jet from the injector impinges a bucket in the vertical direction.  The torque generated by a bucket is closely related to the water sheet on the inner surface of the bucket. Regardless of the rotating speed, the torque has a maximum value when the water sheet fills the inner surface completely.  For a revolution, the impingement of the water jet increases in time, but the portion of the effective impinging time decreases as the turbine runner rotates faster. At a slower speed of the wheel, the impinging time was short but effective to increase torque as theory with nearly vertical water jet.
