Optimizing Hydrokinetic Turbine Blades by pstrobel is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document presents a new approach for optimizing the design of hydrokinetic turbine blades to account for cavitation effects. The approach uses the pressure minimum coefficient as a criterion for the cavitation limit on flow around the blades. The methodology corrects the chord and twist angle at each blade section by modifying the local thrust coefficient to avoid cavitation on the rotor shape. The optimization is based on Blade Element Theory and aims to develop a simple and efficient mathematical mod
