Experimental and Numerical Simulations Predictions Comparison of Power and Efficiency in Hydraulic Turbine
On-site power and mass flow rate measurements were conducted in a hydroelectric power plant (Mexico). Mass flow rate was obtained using Gibson's water hammer-based method. A numerical counterpart was carried out by using the commercial CFD software, and flow simulations were performed to princi...
