Abstract
The Aerofoil Water Turbine (AWT) is a machine designed by ZHEN XIN TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD. The AWT which intent to install on river is able to generate electricity by the motivation of water flow. However, the mechanical strength of the design is not robust enough that the prototype of the structure is not able to withstand the water flow and the machine is prone to break during the test process. Hence, we construct a CFD model in order to simulate the AWT on the river. After some simplification of the geometry, the selection of solution parameters and the setting of boundry condition. We developed several directions for ZHEN XIN TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD to improve the AWT mechanical strength. The CFD model which we constructed include hydraulic analysis, fluid structure interaction (FSI) and structure analysis.
