Experimental and Numerical Studies of a High-Head Francis Turbine: A Review of the Francis-99 Test Case

Experimental and Numerical Studies of a High-Head Francis Turbine: A Review of the Francis-99 Test Case

Hydraulic turbines are widely used to meet real-time electricity demands. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) techniques have played an important role in the design and development of such turbines. The simulation of a complete turbine requires substantial computational resources. A specific approach...
