H.Nilsson and M.Page. OpenFOAM simulation of the flow in the H�?¶lleforsen draft tube model, presented at the Turbine-99 workshop in Porjus, December 2005. The paper does not show all the comparisons with experiments and other numerical contributions. For such comparisons the workshop proceedings should be investigated.
H.Nilsson. CFD in water turbines -- an HPC challenge, presented at the PARA'06 workshop in Ume�?¥, 2006. A comparison of OpenFOAM run on Gigabit and Infiniband interconnects is included.
