A Review of Literature on Elbow Draft Tube Geometry of Kaplan Turbine

Abstract

Experiments are going on for improving the efficiency of Hydraulic power plants. Efficiency of power plant is directly related with efficiency of Turbine and efficiency of Turbine is closely related with the efficiency of Draft Tube. In this review focus shall be given on Elbow Draft tube geometry. Analysis should be done for various draft tube geometry. Simulation should be done by CFD. All the impacts upon Kaplan Turbine should be analysed after changing geometry of Kaplan Turbine. Scope of this review is to study on redesigning the existing draft tube by changing the shapes of draft tube, such as elliptical, square, circular and rectangular.
