Análisis sobre criterios de diseño geométrico del canal de entrada y cuenca para turbinas de vórtice gravitacional
Abstract
This article presents a review of the most relevant studies on inlet channels and basins used in gravitational vortex turbines, with the aim of identifying the geometric and operational parameters that control the formation, stability, and efficiency of the vortex. Cylindrical and conical configurations are analyzed, as well as variations in the geometry and inclination of the inlet channel, integrating experimental and numerical results to compare their influence on hydraulic performance. These findings allow the recognition of the most efficient design trends and the identification of innovative proposals that seek to optimize vortex generation and the overall performance of the turbine.
