Summary
The steady incompressible flow in the FRANCIS RUNNER is numerically computed by solving the three-dimensional Euler equations on an H-grid. A finite volume discretization scheme with an explicit time integration and absorbing inflow/outflow boundary conditions is used. By comparing the numerical solution with measurements a good agreement was obtained.
