Study on the Effect of the Guide Vane Opening on the Band Clearance Sediment Erosion in a Francis Turbine

Sediment erosion is a negative phenomenon for the water turbine. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of the guide vane opening on the particle motion and sediment erosion in the band chamber using the Euler–Lagrangian approach. The software Ansys CFX and Tabakoff erosion model are used...
