Flow Along Clearance Gap Observation of vortex filament PIV Measurement

Erosion in runner hub Erosion in GV trailing Edge Correlating with Observations Photo Source: Ole G. Dahlhaug NACA 0012 Profile used for guide vanes High Pressure difference towards trailing edge More erosion in trailing edge walls due to high velocities and secondary flows Formation of clearance gap, inducing strong crossflow Increases relative velocity and reduces radial velocity at runner inlet towards hub and shroud Thus higher erosion in runner hub and shroud at inlet and lowered runner efficiency Other factors as RSI, Blade leaning design and operational parameters are equally important
