Application of an Off-Design Transient Simulation Framework for Pump-as-Turbine in OpenFOAM: Validation and Flow Analysis

Pump-as-Turbine (PaT) systems represent a cost-effective solution for hydraulic energy recovery in existing water networks and industrial processes. However, the prediction of their performance in turbine mode remains challenging, especially under off-design conditions where unsteady flow structures and internal losses...
