As the use of CFD for such flows is rather new it was decided to carry out individual validations of the flow codes for the different flow features. The main focus is the interaction of the jet with the bucket. The flow structures upstream of the jet have a strong influence on the jet shape and direction as well as on the secondary flow structure in the jet. Careful validations proofed that the selected CFD codes are able to compute these flows accurately. Based on this experience the flow of the free surface jet interacting with the buckets has been computed and the results have been compared to experimental data. These comparisons are in good agreement and provide the designer of Pelton turbines with a new insight and data previously not available. Inclusion of CFD flow predictions into the design process of Pelton turbines reduces development time and opens up new opportunities for optimization.","PeriodicalId":183819,"journal":{"name":"NAFEMS International Journal of CFD Case Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130452973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within this scope, they present the potential for an increase in usage of space frame constructions in automotive or aerospace engineering. But the insertion of reinforcement in the material flow of the extrusion process leads to a significant local perturbation inside of the forming tool: while the velocity of the base material increases due to the increasing press ration the velocity of the reinforcement remains constant at the profiles out-coming velocity. These effect leads in the compound zone to the induction of tensile stresses into the reinforcement which result in failures like cracking during the extrusion process. By use of a coupled thermo-mechanical finite element simulation with the commercial fe-codes Superform from MSC and HyperXtrude from Altair the velocity fields of an extrusion process with and without reinforcement were calculated and the resulting stress components were analysed. Based on these results, a process optimisation to reduce stresses on the reinforcement has been carried out, for example by a modification of the tool geometry. The numerical results went along with experiments to verify the calculated failures and the optimised process.","PeriodicalId":183819,"journal":{"name":"NAFEMS International Journal of CFD Case Studies","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114230297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The required level of accuracy is dependent on the industrial context for the work.

The framework distinguishes between Reality, the Conceptual Model of Reality and the Computational CFD model. The processes of Qualification, Verification and Validation are used to assess the levels of Error and Uncertainty within the simulation system.
