This monograph is a guide to a method of experimental and numerical flow investigations for Kaplan - type turbines. The numerical calculations were compared with the test results of the model Kaplan turbine. The tests were carried out on the model test rig in the Gdańsk University of Technology. The turbine has been thoroughly experimentally investigated, resulting in the identification of optimum setting combination of the stator and rotor. This experimentally determined efficiency-optimal work point has been taken as the basis of numerical modeling. For the optimal operating point, the numerical analysis was conducted for a lot of different turbulence models. The methodology of Kaplan cam curve determination by CFD application has been presented with great respect to the local phenomena of the flow and global operating parameters of the turbine.
