Power has been extracted from moving water by humans for many purposes and for many centuries, and water turbines have been used in electricity generation for well over a century. Many water turbine designs have been developed over that time, and these designs continue to be further optimized with the aid of advanced simulation software from ANSYS.
In this demanding simulation environment, where small incremental design improvements translate into substantial savings, ANSYS tools are repeatedly called upon to enhance the performance of all components of all varieties of water turbines. From multi-phase flows in Pelton turbines to non-linear stress analysis of Kaplan runners, ANSYS is the CAE provider of choice for water turbine design optimization.
