1 Water turbines

• H.Nilsson and M.Page. OpenFOAM simulation of the flow in the H�?¶lleforsen draft tube model, presented at the Turbine-99 workshop in Porjus, December 2005. The paper does not show all the comparisons with experiments and other numerical contributions. For such comparisons the workshop proceedings should be investigated.
• H.Nilsson. CFD in water turbines -- an HPC challenge, presented at the PARA'06 workshop in Ume�?¥, 2006. A comparison of OpenFOAM run on Gigabit and Infiniband interconnects is included.
• H.Nilsson. Evaluation of OpenFOAM for CFD of turbulent flow in water turbines, presented at the IAHR symposium in Yokohama, October 2006.
• H.Nilsson. Experiences with OpenFOAM for water turbine applications, presented at the OpenFOAM conference in Old Windsor, London, November 2007.
• H. Nilsson, M. Page, M. Beaudoin, B. Gschaider and H. Jasak. The openFOAM Turbomachinery Working Group, and Conclusions from the Turbomachinery Session of the Third OpenFOAM Workshop. Presented at 24th IAHR Symposium on Hydraulic Machinery and Systems, October 27-31, 2008, Foz Do Iguassu, Brazil.
• O. Bounous. Studies of the ERCOFTAC Conical Diffuser with OpenFOAM. Research Report 2008:05, Applied Mechanics, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, 2008. Presented at the Third OpenFOAM Workshop in Milano, July 9-11, 2008.
