CFD-Driven Valve Shape Optimization for Performance Improvement of a Micro Cross-Flow Turbine
Turbines are critical parts in hydropower facilities, and the cross-flow turbine is one of the widely applied turbine designs in small- and micro-hydro facilities. Cross-flow turbines are relatively simple, flexible and less expensive, compared to other conventional hydro-turbines. However, the powe...
