Improved Performance of Waterfall Hydraulic Cross-Flow Turbines with and Without Guide Wall
The improved performance of a waterfall cross-flow hydraulic turbine was investigated through combined experimental and numerical analyses to elucidate the effects of key design parameters, including tip-speed ratio, number of blades, and off-axis distance. Additionally, the influence of a circular guide wall on the pe...
