This simulation aims to study the velocity and the tubulence inside a tubocharger

Experimenting the relation between the tip speed ratio of the turbine and the power coefficient of the turbine.

Simulation for 3D printed highbypass turbofan engine

using the micro wind  turbine to generate power

In this project, we will do the steady state incompressible fluid flow simulation of Archimedes Screw turbine. We will use many blade design iterations to find the optimum blade quantity and angles. Also the inlet velocity will be changed accordingly and its effect on the turbine forces would also be investigated in this work.

In this project incompressible fluid flow simulation of a conical draft tube is carried out. The parameters data is collected from the course book on fluid dynamics and the validation of CFD simulation result with the theoretical result is also performed. Steady state incompressible fluid flow simulation is selected for the given case.
The draft tube is a pipe of gradually increasing area, which connects the outlet of the water turbine's runner to the tail race. Draft tube helps to convert the exit velocity head into pressure or potential head.

Incompressible Tesla Pelton turbine Torque evaluation

This project  involves meshing a single-Shaft Turbofan Engine, and then simulating its' operation when facing an axial airflow of 150 m/s, while rotating with a velocity of 940 rad/sec (9000 rpm) . A Fan is used to bypass a large amount of air in the inside of the engine. For this case the typical Compressor, Combustion chamber and Turbine Stator were omitted, and only the Fan, Shaft, Shell and Turbine rotor were meshed and examined, in order to restrain the meshing requirements for complex, time consuming meshing and simulation.  A steady state incompressible flow simulation is executed to visualize the air flow through the components of the Turbofan, as well as the pressure and U magnitude distribution on the blades of the Fan and Turbine.

Hydrokinetic Banki cross flow turbine for rural areas  whit bidirectional diffuser augmented (BDA).

Hydrokinetic is a recently introduced type of hydropower energy, having been proven as the most
effective and predictable renewable energy source available around the world, especially in the rural and
electrification areas. Most of these sites are dependent on small and micro scale stations to produce
cheap but abundantly available and effective electrical energy. Hydrokinetic energy that can be harnessed from the flow of water in the irrigation and rainy channels is a promising technology in countries
with vast current energy. Micro hydrokinetic energy scheme presents an attractive, environmentally
friendly and efficient electric generation in rural, remote and hilly areas, as effort to reduce the everincreasing greenhouse gas emissions and fuel prices in these sites. (1)
