Optimizing Runner Design for GWVPP by Sujatmiko is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes a study investigating different runner designs for a gravitational water vortex power plant (GWVPP) through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and experimental testing. The CFD analysis showed that a runner with curved blade profiles was the most efficient at 82% compared to 46% for straight blades and 63% for twisted blades. Experimental testing of a scaled GWVPP model validated the CFD results, with the curved blade runner achieving a peak efficiency of 71% at 0.5m head.
