Determination of hydraulic losses – Two selected examples
Abstract
This research study aimed for the verification and the adaptation of a three-dimensional numercial program for general use in hydraulics. This program is based upon the differential equations by Navier-Stokes’ and works with the so-called k-ε turbulence model. The first step was the adaptation of the one-phase flow on the basis of hydraulic models. The second step will be the extension of the program for cavitating flows, also by means of hydraulic models.
