This study focuses on the modelling, meshing, and definition of result parameters for a cross-flow turbine. Cross-flow turbines are commonly used in hydroelectric power generation systems due to their efficiency and compact design. In this research, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach is employed to simulate the fluid flow inside the turbine and analyze its performance. First, a three-dimensional model of the cross-flow turbine is created, including the rotor, blades, and casing. The model is then refined through meshing techniques to ensure accurate representation of the turbine geometry and the fluid domain. This process involves generating a structured or unstructured mesh with appropriate cell sizes and grid resolutions. Once the meshing process is complete, various result parameters are defined to evaluate the turbine's performance. These parameters include torque, power output, efficiency, and flow characteristics such as velocity and turbulence distribution. The simulation is conducted under realistic operating conditions to capture the real-world behavior of the turbine. By utilizing CFD simulations, this study aims to gain insights into the fluid dynamics within the cross-flow turbine and optimize its design for improved performance. The results obtained from this analysis will contribute to better understanding the flow patterns, power generation capabilities, and efficiency of cross-flow turbines. This research can serve as a valuable resource for engineers and researchers engaged in the design and optimization of hydroelectric systems using cross-flow turbines.
