Relevant journal article "Numerical Investigation of the Effect of Leading-Edge Tubercles on Propeller Performance" Read More: https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/10.2514/1.C034845 Relevant publication: http://www.iaeng.org/publication/WCE2018/WCE2018_pp586-595.pdf Structure model for https://grabcad.com/library/turbine-blade-15, it's a WIP. It's a concept I am working on. There are many advantages of canal turbines over wind turbines, prominent one's being: 1. Unidirectional flow Water flows in one direction in a canal so we don't need pitch and yaw control surfaces. 2. Constant flow rate We (humans) control water flow rate through canals and it's almost same all year, so we don't have to worry about blade aero foil design to suit variable/abruptly variable flow rate. 3. Large Electricity potential Canals are 100s of km long, imagine the electricity potential in the canals. You can put these turbines in irrigation canals and it'll power nearby villages and all the irrigation equipment etc. 4. Higher Power/Discharge Ratio Water is ~816 times dense (powerful) than air, so for the same discharge (flow) rate we get 816 times more power. Which means more we can make designs that are smaller and easier to manage. 5. Easy maintenance Fitted less than ~1 m deep inside the canal and can be retracted for maintenance at ground level, making maintenance very easy.
