Mathematical modelling and optimisation of Venturi-enhanced hydropower

<p>In this thesis we study a novel type of hydropower generation which uses a Venturi contraction to amplify the pressure drop across a turbine, allow- ing for cost-effective hydropower generation in situations where the head drop is small, such as in rivers and weirs. The efficiency is sensit...
