The effects of sampling location and turbulence on discharge estimates in short converging turbine intakes

Standards provide recommendations for best practice when installing current meters to measure fluid flow in closed conduits. A central guideline requires the velocity distribution to be regular and the flow steady. Because of the nature of the short converging intakes typical of low-head hydroturbin...
