Numerical Simulation of an Air-Core Vortex and Its Suppression at an Intake Using OpenFOAM
A common challenge faced by engineers in the hydraulic industry is the formation of free surface vortices at pump and power intakes. This undesirable phenomenon which sometimes entrains air could result in several operational problems: noise, vibration, cavitation, surging, structural damage to turb...
