[ 1 ] - Numerical optimization of hydrofoil geometry for a Darrieus hydraulic turbine using dynamic mesh and central composite design

In this study, a Darrieus hydraulic turbine for power generation applications is chosen and the response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) is applied to obtain the optimized design for its hydrofoil geometry to increase the torque coefficient. For this aim, all turbine performance factors, except hydrofoil geometry, were considered to be constant and the turbine ...
