The dissipation functions of liquid phase and solid phase are presented respectively.

The corresponding procedure based on the finite difference method (FDM) is developed to calculate the two phase flow in hydraulic turbine. The method is applied to analyze the silt-laden water flow between stay vanes, and the numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental ones.展开更多

Among the methods for measuring the discharge through the turbine used in such tests, particular attention was paid to index methods allowing to measure the relative discharge through the turbine-the index current meter method and the methods based on measuring the differential pressure between two points properly located at the turbine flow system （i.e., Winter-Kennedy method）. These methods contribute to effective reduction of the cost of optimizing the turbine that is extremely important for small hydropower plants regarding installed capacity. The paper presents selected examples of the optimization tests and experiences that arise from these tests.展开更多
