Hydraulic Performance of a Francis Turbine with a Variable Draft Tube Guide Vane System to Mitigate Pressure Pulsations
The present paper demonstrates a proof-of-concept by introducing a variable guide vane system in the draft tube of a high-head Francis model turbine. The aim is to examine the hydraulic performance of the turbine while mitigating the pressure pulsations in the draft tube. The guide vanes can rotate...
