A Study on Hydraulic Performance of Francis Turbine for Small Hydropower Plants

Francis turbine of commercial small hydro -power plants under 10kw which is investigate a flow characterist and an efficiency in the research which it sees, the problem and an improvement is investigate. In the research which it is simply model with casing, guide-vane, runner, draft tube for simulation numerical analysis of small-sized Francis turbine. model uses the Gambit and it composes with approximately 800,000 nonuniform lattices. Solutions are investigate the hydraulic characteristics against an outward angle of guide vane, the number of guide vane, head(inlet velocity) by using FLUENT which is a commercial business code.
