Abstract
Turbulent flows are encountered in many hydraulic and water resources engineering problems. Their understanding is thus a critical prerequisite for designing stream and river restoration projects and a broad range of hydrodynamic structures. For this purpose, an unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equations with a two-equations turbulence closure model is employed. The present paper aims to numerically explore the three-dimensional unsteady flow over a conventional Darrieus type rotor and to study the time step size effect on the hydrodynamic structure.
