Numerical analysis of the head covers deflection and the leakage flow in the guide vanes of high head Francis turbines

This thesis includes a brief presentation of the different losses developed in high head Francis turbines, where special attention is paid to the losses in the guide vanes due to the head covers deflection. The different factors determining the extent of the leakage flow are thoroughly examined. Als...
