Design of Francis Turbine and Openfoam Methods
暫譯: 法蘭西斯渦輪設計與OpenFOAM方法

本書為學術界和業界專業人士提供了一本全面的指南，專注於設計和優化液壓渦輪機，特別是法蘭西斯渦輪機。書中涵蓋了法蘭西斯渦輪機的主要尺寸，包括轉子、導葉和分配器。作者選擇了 OpenFOAM，這是一款免費的開源計算流體力學（CFD）軟體，供讀者進行模擬。雖然已有一些相關文獻，但本書的特色在於詳細探討 CFD 方法的三個階段。作者還逐步描述了如何為液壓機械創建新的求解器，以考慮沉積物侵蝕。內容以易於理解的方式呈現，幫助讀者快速掌握材料。本書適合相關領域的專家，以及本科生、研究生、研究人員和其他對設計合適的法蘭西斯渦輪機或模擬旋轉機械的多相流場感興趣的專業人士。
