Hydraulic turbines can convert tidal current energy into electric energy, and the addition of a deflector cover to the turbine can improve the efficiency of the turbine's energy harvesting. The angle of the inlet section and the angle of the outlet section of the deflector will further affect the final energy-acquisition efficiency.A threedimensional numerical model for turbine flow field analysis is established, and the RNG k-ε turbulence model is selected by CFD method, and the best angles of inlet section and outlet section are analysed by the method of sliding mesh to obtain the best angle of inlet section and outlet section separately, and then three groups of angles are selected near the best angle of inlet section and outlet section to make orthogonal comparisons. The energy acquisition efficiency of the turbine is calculated at different angles of the inlet and outlet sections of the deflector, and the turbine streamline distribution, velocity and pressure maps are analysed with and without the deflector.The study shows that the deflector can play the role of convergence of the downstream flow, which can improve the efficiency of the turbine energy acquisition, and the maximum energy acquisition efficiency is at the inlet angle of 29° and the outlet angle of 40 °, and the maximum energy acquisition efficiency can be improved by about 32 percent.

The waterpower generation of the dam generates electricity by revolving the turbine through a water pipe using the difference of high/low of water, the revolving turbine makes an occurrence a terribly loud noise. Accordingly, in the water turbine generator room located on such hydroelectric generator, since a mutual communication is not establish properly when working, they are suffering many difficulties, and it is real state that such noise damages even to those workers in the office of power plant. Since the most of dam water turbine generator room built in domestic country had used the finishing materials of a huge volume and a high reflexibility, it is carrying more amplifying function with the turbine noise arising when generates the electricity. Therefore, there is not only a difficulty for mutual communication among those workers in the workplace, but also it becomes an obstruction factor for working even to the workers in the adjacent office, and because they are suffering the mental and physical damages, it is actual state that a noise-reduction measure is urgently needed. As a result of the study, on the object with the dam hydraulic turbine dynamo room in which an acoustic defect is being occurring, this Study has conducted the Psycho-Acoustics Experiment about the Delivery of Voice Information using Auralization Technique that can experience the Virtual Acoustic Field. It is considering that such study result could be used usefully for improvement of the Voice Definition when construction the dam hydraulic turbine dynamo room, in the future.

Hydro-electric power is a method of generating electricity from the rotational force of turbine blades by using the potential energy of a river or reservoir water. Recently, the necessity of small hydropower development is expanding due to the development and support of renewable energy, and because of the difficulty and environmental problems of huge dams. The purpose of this paper is to deal with a method of increasing the efficiency of small water turbine that can be adopt in low head condition. In order to improve the turbine efficiency, channel shape is optimized in order to minimize head loss using computational fluid dynamics. The angle values for the contraction and enlargement part of the channel where the turbine is located are found from the analyses. Additionally, three-dimensional analysis is applied to the optimized channel shape in order to confirm the optimized pipe.

Numerical analysis using commercial CFD code was carried out to develop the drag force type vertical axis hydraulic turbine for the improvement of the production efficiency of small hydro energy at low flow velocity condition. Blade pressure changes and internal flows were analyzed according to the presence or absence of the hydraulic turbine blade holes at flow velocity of less than 1.0~3.0 m/s. According to the numerical results, the pressure and flow velocity is severly affected by the flow velocity in turbine blade with no holes, while the influence of flow velocity is comparatively decreased in turbine blade with holes. It is also found that the pressure and flow velocity on the blade surface with holes are evenly distributed with no singular location and it is believed that forming a hole in the blade may be helpful in terms of structural safety.
