Abstract

The most important part of the hydraulic design part in turbodrill is stator and rotor blades. The hydraulic performance determines the output characteristics of the turbodrill. SolidWorks three-dimensional (3D) modeling is applied to 127 turbodrill blades. Simulation analysis is using the Software ANSYS/CFD to make, the corresponding pressure and velocity flow field are obtained. Finally, the output performance of the turbine section is predicted through repeated simulation of different speed flow field. The predictive results show that with clean water as the fluid medium and the flow rate of 15 L/s of the turbine section, its maximum power point and the braking torque can reach10 kW and 325N•m respectively with optimal working speed of 275 r/ min. Therefore, it is a reasonable design that meets all requirements.
