In this project incompressible fluid flow simulation of a conical draft tube is carried out. The parameters data is collected from the course book on fluid dynamics and the validation of CFD simulation result with the theoretical result is also performed. Steady state incompressible fluid flow simulation is selected for the given case. The draft tube is a pipe of gradually increasing area, which connects the outlet of the water turbine's runner to the tail race. Draft tube helps to convert the exit velocity head into pressure or potential head.
