Investigation on disk friction loss and leakage effect on performance in a Francis model turbine

In this article, computational fluid dynamics technique has been applied to examine the disk friction loss and leakage effect on performance of a Francis model turbine, and a model test for obtaining hydraulic efficiency of the turbine was also conducted. The analysis of the results shows that near...
