IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2022 Abstract In recent years and in many countries the economic development of distant regions is increasingly dependent on energy resources. This fact makes the world scientific community pay more attention to the renewable energy sources. Special attention is paid to the solar, wind and small hydropower for electrical consumers who have no

The Journal of Engineering and Exact SciencesHydroelectric energy continues to be the most representative renewable resource in the world, accounting today for 40% of installed capacity. The availability of water, combined with the technologies for generating electricity at a reasonable cost, have sustained the success of this type of generation over the years.

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental ScienceAbstract A numerical analysis study has been carried out in Francis turbine due to cavitation for small hydro power plants using the commercial CFX code. The transient simulation is carried out by considering the turbulence model, namely, Shear Stress Transport (SST) and cavitation mass transfer i.e., Rayleigh-Plesset (R-P).
