Simulación numérica de una turbina de impulso radial para banco de pruebas de un sistema OWC
Resumen
Se presenta la simulación numérica CFD de una turbina de impulso radial destinada a un banco de pruebas de un sistema de columna de agua oscilante (OWC). Se construyó el modelo 3D de rotor y estátor y se resolvieron las ecuaciones RANS con turbulencia k-ω SST en ANSYS CFX, empleando marco de referencia múltiple e interfaces GGI. Con aire a 25 °C y 1 atm, se evaluaron par, potencia y campo de velocidades para diferentes velocidades angulares. Los resultados muestran distribución de flujo coherente, convergencia estable y un torque casi constante (≈760–770 N·m), mientras la potencia útil crece linealmente hasta ~615 W a 800 rad/s. El desempeño obtenido valida el diseño antes de la manufactura y respalda su aplicación experimental en OWC.
