The foundation for understanding how water moves turbine blades.

Detailed study of Pelton wheels (impulse), Francis, and Kaplan turbines (reaction).

The book is generally divided into two main sections: and Hydraulic Machines . Section 1: Fluid Mechanics

The book is packed with neat, labeled diagrams. In fluid mechanics, visualizing flow patterns and turbine components is half the battle won.
