The vibration intensity is strong in Francis turbine occurred under the small opening conditions, such as Lijia Gorges and Three Gorges project. In paper we use large eddy simulation (LES) method base on Vreman SubGrid-Scale model to study the generation and evolution process of turbulence flow, capturing the details of the flow structures and the dissipation of the turbulent kinetic energy. The SIMPIEC algorithm is applied to solve the coupled equation of velocity and pressure. The result shows that the small guide vane opening conditions deviate the optimal conditions most. So some unstable flow characters been induced. Such as the turbulent kinetic energy of fluid in guide vanes zone, the blade passage and the draft tube are very strong. The unstable flow phenomenon including the swirl, flow separation, interruption and vortex strip. It can be deduced that the vibration of unit is induced by these flow characteristic.

Numerical simulation of three-dimensional transient turbulent flow in the whole flow passage of a Francis turbine were based upon the large eddy simulation(LES) technique on Smargorinsky model and sliding mesh technology. The steady flow data simulated with the standard k-εmodel was used as the initial conditions for the unsteady simulation. The results show that LES can do well transient turbulent flow simulation in a Francis turbine with complex geometry. The computational method provides some reference for exploring the mechanism of eddy formation in a complex turbulent of hydraulic machinery.
