CFD Approach for Analyzing the Variation of Flow Parameters and Losses in a Mixed Flow Francis Turbine
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 …

Comprehensive Review of the Tehri Dam: Current Status and Developments
Abstract: The Tehri Dam project in India's Chandpur Formation, located in the Himalayan region, has raised concerns about seismic risks due to the presence of main central thrust and main boundary thrust lines. A comprehensive seismic risk analysis was conducted during the design phase of the Tehri Project at the University of Roorkee and the Hydro Project Institute in Moscow. The rock-fill dam is equipped with an underground powerhouse with four …
