Determination and generalization of the effects of design parameters on Francis turbine runner performance

The runner design is the most challenging part of the turbine design process. Several parameters determine the performance and cavitation characteristics of the runner: the metal angle (flow beta angle), the alpha angle, the blade beta angle, the runner inlet and outlet diameters, and the blade heig...
