Discretization uncertainty and numerical validation of a pico-hydraulic counter rotating turbine
This dataset contains the results of a parametric mesh study to quantify the discretization uncertainty of steady state multi-reference frame simulations on a counter rotating pico-hydraulic turbine reference case [1][2]. The results of this study were used in the published article [3] for numerical validation purposes. The mesh was made with open-source tool Salome-Platform for the bulk domains and Ansys Turbogrid® for the blade row domains. The simulations where made with OpenFoamV8 open-source library. Three meshes where evaluated, taking in account an effective size ratio r=1.4 (eq. 1). The results where analyzed using the Roache's convergence index, obtaining for the medium mesh about 2% of discretization uncertainty on the total power, and less than 1% on pressure head. \( r = \left(\frac{N_\mathrm{fine}}{N_\mathrm{medium}}\right)^\frac{1}{3} = \left(\frac{N_\mathrm{medium}}{N_\mathrm{coarse}}\right)^\frac{1}{3} \) (1) Additional simulations where made with the medium mesh to reconstruct the hydraulic efficiency curve. Main simulation results folders: picoTurbineValCase/sim/results/MS[0-2] contains the mesh study simulation results picoTurbineValCase/sim/results/curve contains the off-design simulation results On the meshStudy.org file a summary of the calculations is given.
