dc.descriptionThe project mathematically defines the toroidal turbine geometry and develops a three-dimensional model using CAD software. ANSYS Fluent is employed for CFD simulations to analyze flow behavior, pressure distribution, and the designed turbine's efficiency under specified operating conditions.
dc.description.abstractThis final year project investigates the design, modeling, simulation, fabrication, and experimental testing of a toroidal turbine for low head hydropower applications. Toroidal turbines are a novel and innovative technology that shows promise for hydropower generation, especially in low head situations. The project aims to enhance the understanding of toroidal turbine geometry and efficiency through advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and experimental validation. Initially, limited data and information posed challenges, but insights from studies by other engineers and available research papers provided a foundation for turbine development. Recent advancements in manufacturing processes have made the production of this complex geometry more viable.
