Silt erosion and cavitation impact on hydraulic turbines performance: An in-depth analysis and preventative strategies

The primary issues in the Himalayan Rivers are sediment and cavitation degradation of the hydroelectric power turbine components. During the monsoon season, heavy material is transported by streams in hilly areas like the Himalayas through regular rainfalls, glacial and sub-glacial hydrological acti...
