Pressure distribution and torque 0,24 · l Cord length, l Suction side Pressure side Single profile Cascade The pressure at the outlet is lower for a cascade than for a single profile. The cavitation performance will therefore be reduced in a cascade.
Radial distribution of the blade profile CL =Lift coefficient for a cascade CL1 =Lift coefficient for a single profile The ratio t/l influences the lift coefficient in a cascade. The cord length for a blade will therefore increase when the radius becomes increase
Flow in the axial plane The figure shows blades with two different design of the blade in radial direction. This is because it will influence the secondary flow in the radial direction
Gap between hub and ring and the runner blades Gap between the blade and ring Gap between the blade and hub Efficiency Gap
Runaway speed Cavitation coefficient Runaway speed The figure shows different runaway speed at different runner blade openings. The runaway speed is dependent of the cavitation as shown in the figure
