Characterization of the Effects of Ingested Bodies on the Rotor–Stator Interaction of Hydraulic Turbines

Runner and distributor blockages in hydraulic turbines occur due to the ingestion of external bodies such as rocks or logs. These obstructions can change the amplitude and uniformity of the pressure pulsations in the machine, creating large unbalanced forces that can lead to reduced efficiency, incr...
