Significance for science

• Better understanding of the fluid flow physics in the vertical tubular turbine flow passage system with particular emphasis on interactions between the flow and turbine components. • A novel approach combining computational fluid dynamics and stress analysis in order to obtain minimized weight and dimensions of the turbine components with maximized output power. • Development, automatization and application of validated numerical model for research and development of similar axial water turbines. • Definition of internal design instructions of development of sharp elbows in pipeline systems. • Optimal design of turbine water lubricate guide bearing and thrust bearing

Significance for the country

• Better understanding of flow physics in the vertical tubular turbine components enables optimal design of the turbine with high efficiency. This knowledge represents technological advantage. • Lower weight and smaller dimensions of the turbine yield lower material costs, lower energy consumption for manufacturing and lower transportation costs and at the same time larger electricity production. • Presence in small- and medium-sized turbines market.
