摘要：To study the influence of rotational speed on the performance of hydraulic turbine in turbine mode (T-type turbine), the performance of turbine at different rotational speed was predicted through theoretical analysis, based on the Navier-Stokes equation and standard k-ε turbulence model, numerical simulation was used to study the performance of turbine at different rotational speed. The head loss, pressure distribution, turbulence kinetic energy, and unsteady pressure pulsation were also clarified. The results shows that with the increase of rotational speed, the high efficiency area of turbine gradually becomes wider, and there is little difference of the maximum efficiency at different rotational speeds. Under the optimal working condition, the pressure difference between inlet and outlet increase gradually, and turbulent kinetic energy of runner also increase. The inlet circulation increases with the increase of rotational speed, the outlet circulation increases with the increase of speed under small flow conditions, and decreases with the increase of rotational speed under large flow conditions. The study of pressure pulsation shows that the increase of rotating speed can effectively reduce the pressure pulsation in the runner. When the rotating speed is 2100 r/min, the amplitude of pressure pulsation at P7 is 10.39% lower than that at 900 r/min. Considering the hydraulic characteristics and the pulsation characteristics, it is recommended that the hydraulic turbine operates at or above the rated speed as far as possible.
