Abstract: Abstract In this paper, transient flow simulations of a Francis turbine in part load conditions are presented. The dominating flow phenomenon, the vortex rope, leads to a very complex flow field, especially in the draft tube of the turbine. As the resolution of turbulence is important, the Scale Adaptive Simulation (SAS) approach is used. The mesh size of the entire Francis turbine is up to 300 million mesh nodes. The commercial CFD code Ansys CFX version 17.0 is used, which performs up to a few thousands of cores for this kind of application.
