Effect of Blade Profile on Flow Characteristics and Efficiency of Cross-Flow Turbines

This study presents a comprehensive numerical investigation into the influence of blade profile geometry on the internal flow dynamics and hydraulic performance of Cross-Flow Turbines (CFTs) under varying runner speeds. Four blade configurations, flat, round, sharp, and aerodynamic, were systematica...
