The demand for energy is increasing, especially in developing countries. Renewable energies such as hydroelectric power, has become one of the most demanded energy sources for its generation, that is why it was studied and analyzed, through the computational dynamics of fluids "CFD" in the software ANSYS, the flow of a micro vortex gravitational hydroelectric power station for the generation of electric power. This study analyzes a structure that, by its design, has the capacity to form a gravitational vortex current from a water flow with a small difference in height. To verify results, a prototype of the system is built, which will generate energy from the formation of the gravitational vortex.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
