Comparison of Blade-Strike Modeling Results with Empirical Data.

[摘要] Fish passing through hydroturbines are subjected to a variety of conditions that can injure or kill them. Hydropower owners and operators need to understand injury mechanisms to identify designs and operational criteria to increase the survival of fish passing through dams. Of the various mechanisms believed to be responsible for injuries to fish during turbine passage, strike by turbine runner blades is one of the most predominant. This study is the initial stage of further investigation into the dynamics of injury to fish during passage through a turbine runner.
