Determining the Effect of Shear Stress on Fish Mortality during Turbine Passage

摘要

Researchers quantified the effects of shear stress on fish passing through Kaplan turbines by combining data from laboratory tests, computational fluid dynamics modeling, and field studies. The results of this research are helping to reduce mortality of fish passing through turbines.rnA continuing environmental concern for hydroelectric power production is injury and mortality to fish passing through the turbines.
