Mechartes Researchers Francis Turbines

The Francis turbine is a type of reaction turbine, a category of turbine in which the working fluid comes to the turbine under immense pressure and the energy is extracted by the turbine blades from the working fluid. The desire to accurately comprehend the flow features within turbines has been an area of much concern. This is result of the need to predict their performance characteristics, determine the cavitation properties of the turbine and to further improve their efficiency.
