Blade profile optimization of pump as turbine [PDF]
One major focus on the performance researches of pump as turbine is how to enhance the efficiency of energy recovery. While the key point of increasing the efficiency is to improve the performance of the blade profile which is structural basis of the blade geometry. This article presents an optimization method for the blade profile.
