Prediction for the Influence of Guide Vane Opening on the Radial Clearance Sediment Erosion of Runner in a Francis Turbine
In this paper, the Eulerian–Lagrangian method and Tabakoff erosion model are used to study the solid–liquid two-phase flow in a Francis turbine. Through the analysis of the overall flow pattern, particle flow, particle concentration, and wear in the bladeless area of the unit under different guide vane openings, the influence of runner radial gap flow on the surrounding flow field characteristics and wear under different guide vane openings is revealed. The results show that the smaller the opening of the guide vane, the greater the influence on the vortices and flow pattern and the particle distribution in the runner. The overall wear in the hydraulic turbine unit with the optimal opening is the smallest. The long-term wear of the runner inlet and guide vane outlet will cause the loss of local structures, an increase in the radial clearance of the runner, an increase in the clearance leakage, an increase in the vibration of the unit, and a reduction in efficiency. The research results provide a basis for the structural and hydraulic optimization of the Francis turbine.
