“…4), which is required by the higher density of water. Fish impact probability models take into account the rotational speed of the rotor (Turnpenny et al 2000;Deng et al 2007or Müller et al 2018; a common finding is that the impact risk rises along with the rotor frequency. The pressure drop, which is the other main cause of fish injury during turbine passage (Stephenson et al 2010), is negligible in hydrokinetic turbines.…”

“…In fact, even small-scale facilities obstruct fish migration. This issue is of recent research interest, bringing the need for theoretical performance considerations [34,6] as well as assessment of fish passability [2,3,30]. Hydrokinetic turbines directly convert the kinetic energy of the flow and allow for a move away from dams and towards operation in very low-head flow conditions.…”

“…The flexibility improved self-starting capabilities, raised the efficiency, and shifted the BEP to lower values of λ. One last advantage is the in-crease in fish-friendliness of the device associated with lower rotational speeds [30].…”

“…Due to their large dimensions, free surface operation and low rotational speed (<100 rpm), they intrinsically exhibit a good environmental behavior in relation to fish passage. FFTs used in the very low head context are, for example, water wheels (Quaranta and Wolter, 2021), the Vortex turbine (Müller et al, 2018), the Archimedes screw (Brackley, 2016;Piper et al, 2018), hydrokinetic turbines (Hammar et al, 2013), and the Very Low Head (VLH) turbine (Bozhinova et al, 2013). Further improvements in the latest decade seek to accommodate a larger biodiversity of fish present in migratory corridors, while at the same time enhancing the hydraulic FIGURE 1 | Injury and mortality probability versus the dimensionless time T* for water wheels (Quaranta and Wolter, 2021).…”
