Abstract
Navier-Stokes flow simulations are now commonly used in the process of hydraulic turbomachinery design. Comparison with experiments and careful understanding of the behavior of such tools is however very important to the correct interpretation of the results. Following this trend, Navier-Stokes flow simulations, using three solvers, applied to a pump turbine spiral casing in turbine mode, are presented and discussed in this paper.
