Hydropower
TransAT has recently been tested for various hydropower applications, and thanks to its predictive performance enhanced by its IST meshing, and its free surface module conjugated with its rigid body motion model, the results turned out to be more than just promising. Applications include the design of hydraulic machinery like water turbines, pumps, valves, and for studying the performance of paddle wheels and novel tide energy systems producing hydropower.
