摘      要：Using the PimpleDyMFoam solver in open-source computing software OpenFOAM,based on the SST k-ωturbulence model and PIMPLE algorithm,a numerical simulation method of vertical-axis marine current turbines(VMCTs)is proposed,and the calculated results are compared with the experimental *** results show that the numerical simulation method is *** with other commercial softwares,this method has the advantages of higher solution efficiency and greater *** to the needs of users,the solver can be built on the basis of original code,and the corresponding discrete method can be *** method can achieve optimization algorithms,save time and cost,***,the effects of different parameters(mesh density,time step,the selection of sidewall boundary conditions and inlet turbulence intensity)on numerical simulation of the VMCT are studied in *** findings summarize an effective CFD simulation strategy based on OpenFOAM and provide a valuable reference for future CFD simulations of VMCTs.
