The Wells turbine for a wave power generator has hysteretic characteristics in a reciprocating flow, which results in the inaccurate prediction of performance in a quasisteady analysis. In order to clarify the hysteretic characteristics, an experimental investigation has been made by use of a newly devised turbine equipment in which a sinusoidal flow condition is simulated. The results have shown that hysteresis becomes more pronounced as solidity and blade thickness become larger, but it is insensitive to the Reynolds number and blade surface roughness. By means of pressure measurements on the blade surface, it is found that the hysteresis occurs due to different behavior of wakes between an accelerating flow and a decelerating flow.

A Wells turbine for wave power conversion has hysteretic characteristics in a reciprocating flow. The counterclockwise hysteretic loop of the Wells turbine is opposite to the clockwise one of the well-known dynamic stall of an airfoil. In this paper, the mechanism of the hysteretic behavior was elucidated by an unsteady three-dimensional Navier-Stokes numerical simulation. It was found that the hysteretic behavior was associated with a streamwise vortical flow appearing near the blade suction surface. In the accelerating process of axial flow velocity, the vortex is intensified to enlarge the flow separation area on the blade suction surface. In the decelerating flow process, the flow separation area is reduced because of the weakened vortex. Therefore, the aerodynamic performance in the accelerating flow process is lower than in the decelerating flow process, unlike the dynamic stall. Based on the vortex theorem, the mechanism to vary the intensity of the vortex can be explained by the trailing vortices associated with the change in the blade circulation.
