Abstract
A second-moment turbulence-transport closure model has been implemented in a general finite-volume procedure with staggered storage locations for the velocity components. The capabilities of the model in predicting turbulent flows with strong streamline curvature effects, such as those encountered in hydraulic turbine components, are explored. The results show that the adopted turbulence model produces correct physical response to the complex curvature effects, and accurate predictions of most mean-flow and turbulence characteristics.
