Original Abstract

The development of a new water turbine was aimed at covering small heads and large discharges. Only two runner blades are used. The distributor is absent. Champing of runner speed enables governing Computation of the blade shape was carried out using CFD code Fluent, several designs were computationally tested. An experimental method (LDA measurement was used to find the real velocity field agreement of computed and measured velocity fields was very close).
