Numerical study of the influence of blade inlet design parameters on the internal flow characteristics and energy performance of a Francis turbine

One of the challenges of hydraulic turbine design is the creation of a conveyor with high hydraulic performance in accordance with the parameters of the hydraulic energy. The blade inlet parameters, such as blade beta angle, lean angle, and ellipse axis ratio, have an effect on the performance and c...
