Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics Method for Cross-flow Turbine in Pico Scale

Abstract

Crisis electricity was a crucial issue in the rural area. Crossflow turbine (CFT) in pico in pico scale is the best option for electricity provider for rural areas. Due to its usefulness and development of computer technology, computational fluid dynamics method application for CFT study becomes increasingly frequent. This paper compiles the implementation of the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) approach for CFT on a pico scale. Based on the literature, the Renormalization Group (RNG) turbulence model is recommended to predict the flow field that occurs in CFT because its error is lower than others turbulence models, the RNG error of 3.08%, standard of 3.19%, and transitional SST of 3.10%. Furthermore, six-degrees of freedom (6-DoF) is recommended because it has an error of 3.1% than a moving mesh of 9.5% for the unsteady approach. Thus, based on the review, the RNG turbulence model and 6-DoF are recommended for the CFT on the pico scale.

“…CFD simulation is used as software that allows to investigate more complex fluid dynamics in two or three dimensions consisting of 3 stages, namely: pre-processing, processing and post-processing. Creating geometry and meshing becomes the pre-processing stage, the mesh parameter was set-up with CFD physics and fluent solver preference, then proceeds to the parameter setup, iteration or boundary condition setting stage, to the post processing stage which includes analysis, visualization, and data validation simulation results [14,15]. In this study using ANSYS R17.0 software to analyze various types of structures, fluid flow, and heat transfer.…”
