Abstract: Wind turbine blades undergo fatigue and their performance depletes as time progresses due to the formation of internal cracks. Selfhealing in polymers is a unique characteristic used to heal the cracks inherently as they ...

Abstract: This research proposes an air-injection treatment for the cavitation phenomena in the Kaplan turbine. An unsteady numerical model is created to predict the cavitating flow through a 3-in. axial hydroturbine before and after ...
