Abstract

The article considers the problem of developing a gravitational water vortex microhydroelectric power station (GWVmHPP), in which the speed of the whirlpool flow, which is formed due to gravity, is used to generate electrical energy. This technology is relatively new in the field of hydroelectric power. Fluid flow in GWVmHPP with three different models of hydroturbines in a cylindrical basin was modeled using the KompasFlow software. The basic equation of fluid motion is the Navier-Stokes equation. A detailed description of the modeling algorithm is given. The results of a numerical experiment of the models are presented.
