CFD driven optimization of hydraulic turbine draft tubes using surrogate models
The efficiency of a hydraulic reaction turbine is significantly affected by the performance of its draft tube. The shape and velocity distribution at the inlet are, in next turn, two main factors that affects the performance of the draft tube. Traditionally, the design of this component has been bas...
