Abstract:To compare the hydrodynamic performance of vertical axis tidal current turbines with different structures, this paper designed the structural parameters of three-blade single-row-vane type and six-blade double-row-vane type vertical axis turbines. We analyzed the 2D low fields of single-row-vane type and double-row-vane type vertical axis tidal current turbines under special rotation angle by using CFD software, and compared the pressure cloud diagram and velocity field diagram. The results show that the resultant pressure of the blade of double-row-vane type hydro turbine is greater than that of single-row-vane type at the design flow rate 2.5 m/s. The self-starting performance of double-row-vane type hydro turbine is better than that of single-row-vane type. But blades in double-row-vane type turbine will introduce flow field interference when the rotation angle of the axis is 0 and 60 degrees. And disjointed and disordered wake flows arise on the blades of double-row-vane type turbine when the rotation angle of the axis is 30 and 90 degrees.
