We apply a constraint to the optimizer algorithm - limiting the blade maximum lean to no more than 40 degrees. This to ensure a reasonable
The optimized runner blades can well improve the impact cavitation of the blade head and the airfoil cavitation on the back of the blade in the low load area,
Blade profile and camber line are formed by NUPBS curve, and a blade surface is created by connecting several curves along the spanwise direction. To adopt the
An optimization algorithm is proposed and applied to the runner of a low specific speed Francis turbine, with an optimization strategy specifically constructed

Simulating your water turbine design with CFD will help you learn how to improve your design's performance, maximize energy capture from your water source.
Hydraulic turbines have been studied, designed, built and put into operation for nearly 250 years. This work presents a conceptual design methodology for
The establishment of the link between the optimized blade angle and specific speed can provide a turbine model with increased efficiency. In this study, a
