The Pelton turbine is an impulse turbine typically installed for high head hydroelectric power plants. For a site with a rated head H and discharge Q, a higher specific speed turbine …
The technical capacity to predict the erosion process is instrumental for the optimization of the runner designs and operation strategies of hydroelectric plants. A multiscale model of …

Abstract The Meshless Finite Volume (MFV) method, which is a member of the particle weighted methods (PWM) family, is analysed in the context of the so-called partition noise …
The erosion of hydraulic machines by solid particle impacts is a widespread problem that leads to outage for expensive repairs, efficiency reduction, and cavitation enhancement …
The cross-flow turbine is an attractive technology for small-scale hydropower generation thanks to its low capital cost and relatively high efficiency even under partial discharge …
Erosive wear of hydraulic machines is a common issue, which results in efficiency degradation, the enhancement of cavitation, and the need for expensive maintenance …
The erosion of a surface by a sediment-laden flow is an inherently multiscale phenomenon which includes physical interactions covering many orders of magnitude in both length and …
