Turbine is the most critical component in hydropower plants as it affects the cost as well as overall performance of the plant. Hence, for the cost effective design of any hydropower project, it is very important to predict the hydraulic behavior and efficiency of hydro turbines before they are used. Experimental approach of predicting the performance of hydro turbine is costly and time consuming compared to CFD approach. This research work describes the fluid flow conditions and flow parameters within a radial turbine with regards to each part of the turbine. Fluid flow conditions and flow...
