Abstract

The hydropower industry is faced today with a number of challenging problems arising from regulations that emphasize environmental objectives in the operation of its facilities. In spite of using a renewable, non-polluting source of energy, inconsiderate development can adversely impact the aquatic habitat either by inducing fish mortality or by deteriorating the quality of the tailrace water. This paper summarizes recent results from our ongoing research efforts aimed at developing advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics methods that are capable of assessing and improving the environmental comparability of hydropower installations.
