Study on an Undershot Cross-Flow Water Turbine with Straight Blades
TL;DR: In this paper, the Straight Blades runner was applied to an undershot cross-flow water turbine and examined the performance and flow field via experiments and numerical analyses, and the results revealed that the output power and the turbine efficiency of the Straight Blade runner were greater than those of the Curved Blade runner regardless of the rotational speed.

Erratum: The Flow Field of Undershot Cross-Flow Water Turbines Based on PIV Measurements and Numerical Analysis
Journal ArticleDOI
Study on performance and flow field of an undershot cross-flow water turbine comprising different number of blades
TL;DR: In this article, the performance and flow fields of undershot cross-flow water turbines with varying number of blades were evaluated. And the results showed that the turbine output and torque are lower, the fluctuation is significantly higher, and the turbine efficiency is higher for runners with 8 blades as opposed to those with 24 blades.
