description Abstract Compared with the traditional reverse multistage pump as hydraulic turbine, hydraulic turbine in turbine mode (T‐type turbine) with low specific speed has higher single‐stage energy head, which can effectively reduce stages and increase the stability when it is used to recycle high residual pressure liquid. Blade number of runner is an important design parameter, which has great influence on the performance of T‐type hydraulic turbine and need to be further studied. Therefore, two‐stage T‐type turbine models with different blade numbers are established through numerical simulation. Then, the accuracy of numerical simulation is verified by test. Finally, the performance and pressure fluctuating characteristics of turbine with different blade numbers are obtained. The results show that: (a) Taking same blade numbers in both stages (traditional design method), the turbine efficiency can be higher with the blade number of primary runner and secondary runner are 14, but resulting the superposition of pulsation in secondary runner; (b) Taking different blade numbers in both stages, respectively, the superposition of pulsation can be effectively avoided, which also leads to the increase in efficiency, and up to 81.169%; (c) The method of using different number of blades in different stages can replace the traditional design method and effectively improve the hydraulic performance of T‐type hydraulic turbine.
