Validation of Francis–Kaplan Turbine Blade Strike Models for Adult and Juvenile Atlantic Salmon <i>(Salmo Salar, L.) </i>and Anadromous Brown Trout <i>(Salmo Trutta, L.) </i>Passing High Head Turbines

Validation of Francis–Kaplan Turbine Blade Strike Models for Adult and Juvenile Atlantic Salmon <i>(Salmo Salar, L.) </i>and Anadromous Brown Trout <i>(Salmo Trutta, L.) </i>Passing High Head Turbines

The negative effects of hydroelectric power (HEP) on salmonid populations has long been recognized and studied. Downstream passage through turbines may potentially constitute a significant source of mortality for both juvenile and adult fish in regulated rivers. Numerical models have been developed...
