Silt Erosion in Hydro Turbines and Status of Small Hydropower in India - A Review

Silt erosion and cavitation impact on hydraulic turbines performance: An in-depth analysis and preventative strategies

“…During the monsoon season, which spans June to September, the area receives between 70 and 80 percent of its annual precipitation. Sediment transport is highest in the Himalayan Rivers [ 13 ]. This article aims to present a comprehensive summary of the theoretical, experimental, and computational research focused on the cavitation and silt erosion problems that occur in hydraulic turbines, aiming to mitigate the impact of these issues.…”
