Hydrodynamic analysis of a low head prototype Francis turbine for establishing an optimum operating regime using CFD

Hydrodynamic analysis of a low head prototype Francis turbine for establishing an optimum operating regime using CFD

Hydraulic turbines need to operate at regimes other than designed ones. Off-design functioning of these turbines yields an inefficient and uneconomical operation of hydro projects. Performance and energy losses at different possible operating conditions need to be evaluated before finalizing the des...
