Cavitation control in Francis turbines by design optimization across variable operating conditions

Cavitation is a critical challenge which significantly affects performance of hydro turbines leading to inefficient operation. Cavitation primarily arises due to improper design and frequent variations in operating conditions. Prediction or maintaining cavitation within controlled limits is crucial...
