Abstract

Used Profili, Gambit and FLUENT software to build 2D model of the horizontal wave flow turbine power plant which developed by Shanghai Ocean University, and to simulate its pressure and velocity flow field under the RNG k-ε turbulence model with rotational speed accordingly 75r/min, 110r/min and 150r/min while the incoming flow velocity was 2m / s .By showing and analysing its pressure speed clouds, summarized the flow regular impacts to the rotaional turbine,which provided an important numerical reference to the blade strcture optimization and its strength check and indicated a right simulation method to solve the similar fluid simulation project.
