Flow and Fast Fourier Transform Analyses for Tip Clearance Effect in an Operating Kaplan Turbine
The Kaplan turbine is an axial propeller-type turbine that can simultaneously control guide vanes and runner blades, thus allowing its application in a wide range of operations. Here, turbine tip clearance plays a crucial role in turbine design and operation as high tip clearance flow can lead to a...
