Scale-Resolving Hybrid RANS-LES Simulation of a Model Kaplan Turbine on a 400-Million-Element Mesh

Double-regulated Kaplan turbines with adjustable guide vanes and runner blades offer a high degree of flexibility and good efficiency for a wide range of operating points. However, this also leads to a complex geometry and flow guidance with, for example, vortices of different sizes and strengths. T...
