For simulating 3D cavitation flow in Francis model turbine, 3D mixture full cavitation model which describes an homogeneous multiphase flow is adopted. Water vapour phase and water phase are considered to be at balance of dynamics and diffuseness, and most of the physics processes during cavitation are considered. Based on RNG k - ε turbulence model and SIMPLEC arithmetic, the whole passage of model turbine is computed with steady simulations. According to simulation results, cavitation flow field is analyzed, and critical cavitation coefficient is gotten. And character of cavitation vortex is also work out in draft tube. The conclusion can be drawn that 3D mixture full cavitation model can be used to simulate cavitation flow in a hydro Francis turbine.
