National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Comparison of Blade-Strike Modeling Results with Empirical Data.

DE200415007840

Publication Date	2004
Personal Author	Ploskey, G. E.; Carlson, T. J.
Page Count	40
Abstract	Fish passing through hydroturbines are subjected to a variety of conditions that can injure or kill them. Hydropower owners and operators need to understand injury mechanisms to identify designs and operational criteria to increase the survival of fish passing through dams. Of the various mechanisms believed to be responsible for injuries to fish during turbine passage, strike by turbine runner blades is one of the most predominant. This study is the initial stage of further investigation into the dynamics of injury to fish during passage through a turbine runner.
