Abstract

The Gorlov helical turbines are used for the generation of electric energy starting from kinetic energy from the rivers and marine currents. This research dealt with the analysis of the influence of attack angle of the blades profiles on the power coefficient of Gorlov helical turbines, and doing use of simulation on computational fluids dynamics (CFD). The building of the computational domain was done starting from the turbine diameter. For the turbulence model as mathematic model was used the SST k- . A sensibility study for the meshing of the domains indicated as enough meshes of near 65000 nodes for the calculations of the torque. The blades were rotated in attack angles of ±12, ± 9, ±6 y ±3º; subsequently the power coefficients or turbine performance were evaluated in every situation. It was determined the angle of attack of the blades profiles of helical turbines on the coefficient of power as an upgrade of its performance. The results showed variations in turbine performance as the attack angle changed; 6º being the attack angle with which the greatest performance was obtained.
