CFD Approach for Analyzing the Variation of Flow Parameters and Losses in a Mixed Flow Francis TurbineBy Gyanendra Tiwari, Vishnu Prasad, S.N. Shukla
Abstract: Francis turbine can be used for a wide range of head and discharge, thus it is the most versatile water turbine in use [1]. As load varies from full load; the regime of operation changes for meeting the required power demand on electric system [2]. Efficiency of Francis turbine drops significantly at part load and overloading operations due to increased shock losses at the entry to runner, eddy formation and …
