Hello all,
I'm simulating a Kaplan hydraulic turbine. I got a good convergence in steady state, but I'm studying unsteady flows and of course is needed to carry out transient simulations. I'm using a fifth part of runner subdomain and a complete draft tube geometry (the water conduit to the exit), this is equivalent to said a pitch angle for side one equal to 72 degrees and a pitch angle for side two equal to 360 degrees. Then I can see a very good behavior of oscillations due to blade passage frequency in the outlet of the runner but it didn't pass to the draft tube subdomain . So, what's happens? From the draft tube point of view it's as the fifth part of runner is a total water passage way. Someone can give me a recommendation to try to solve it.

Sorry, I don't understand your question.

Fidel,
Did you remember to check the pitch change on the rotor-draft tube interface? That seems to be the problem. |

Fidel,
From what you said you have two domain interfaces. Did you check the pitch change on both of them? |

I'm setted a pitch change between rotor and draft tube equal to 72°/360° and a pitch change between distributor and rotor equal to 15°/72°. Is that correct?
