Numerical Investigation of the Trailing Edge Shape on the Added Damping of a Kaplan Turbine Runner

Hydraulic turbine runners experience high excitation forces in their daily operations, and these excitations may cause resonances to runners, which may induce high vibrations and shorten the runner's lifetimes. Increasing the added damping of runners in water can be helpful to reduce the vibrat...
