Numerical analysis of the inlet channel and basin geometries for vortex generation in a gravitational water vortex power plant
(Elsevier BV, 2020)
Recently, the utilization of low-head hydroelectric technologies
has received a great attention for the expansion of distributed
power systems into isolated regions that are difficult to be
connected to the electrical ...
Application of a central composite face-centered design in the optimization of an Archimedean hydrokinetic turbine
(2021)
Currently, in the literature, there are no general guidelines for the optimal hydraulic design of Archimedean screw turbines (AST) used in hydrokinetic applications. Therefore, this study is aiming at selecting the most ...
Numerical and experimental study of hydrofoil-flap arrangements for hydrokinetic turbine applications
(Amsterdam: Elsevier, 2021)
In this work, the efficiency of two horizontal-axis hydrokinetic turbines, whose blades were designed
with and without multi-element hydrofoil cross-sections, has been numerical and experimentally inves-
tigated for tip ...
Experimental analysis on the performance of a pico-hydro Turgo turbine
(Elsevier, 2021)
The Turgo turbine is a relatively cheap, reliable and sustainable type of impulse turbine used in hydro-
electric plants, which is generally suited for medium and high head applications. Nowadays, the devel-
opment and ...
Design optimization of an Archimedes screw turbine for hydrokinetic applications using the response surface methodology
(Elsevier BV, 2021)
In this study, the performance of an Archimedes screw turbine (AST), in terms of the power coefficient (CP), was evaluated. The design parameters, including the inner and the outer diameter (Di and Do, respectively), the ...
Design and Optimization of a Multi-Element Hydrofoil for a Horizontal-Axis Hydrokinetic Turbine
(MDPI, 2019)
Hydrokinetic turbines are devices that harness the power from moving water of rivers,
canals, and artificial currents without the construction of a dam. The design optimization of the
rotor is the most important stage ...
