Thank you so much, this has been very helpful.. But I wonder if the mathematical governing equations and the numerical methods used to model the turbine are available?
In general the Method of Characteristics (MOC) provides the governing equations during a transient simulation in HAMMER, with the turbine treated as a boundary condition. See more on this in the earlier videos in this playlist which explain transient theory, as well as the Theory section of the HAMMER Help documentation. For more details on the turbine calculations in particular, see the turbine section of the help documentation as well as this article: communities.bentley.com/products/hydraulics___hydrology/w/hydraulics_and_hydrology__wiki/7139/modeling-reference---turbines If you need further help please post on our forum: communities.bentley.com/products/hydraulics___hydrology/f/haestad-hydraulics-and-hydrology-forum
Would it be possible to obtain the example file for reference? I'm currently trying to model a Load Rejection but the initial condition doesn't seem right.
Alejandro, an example file for all turbine operating cases is included with the HAMMER installation - see the "tubine example" model in the "Samples" folder within the HAMMER installation folder. If you need further assistance, please post the issue with details on our forum: communities.bentley.com/products/hydraulics___hydrology/f/haestad-hydraulics-and-hydrology-forum
