Computational analysis of flow in turbines

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a simulation tool, that employs applied mathematics and powerful computer to model fluid flow situations to anticipate the mass, momentum and heat transfer and most favorable design in industrial processes. Turbine is a rotary engine actuated by the impulse or reaction of a current of fluid subject to pressure which is made with a series of curved vanes on a central rotating spindle. CFD at present is the most vital tool to design and analyze different types of turbines. This paper is a review of work carried out in the analysis of flow in different turbines employing CFD software. Literature review of CFD analysis in turbines by various researchers is elucidated. In addition, the merits and demerits of CFD analysis of flow in turbines are mentioned. Future work germane to CFD investigation in turbines is also provided.
