Draft Tube Wake Vortex Evolution and Suppression in a Pump as Turbine with Splitter Blades Based on a Modified Burgers Vortex Model

Owing to its efficient energy recovery capability, the pump as turbine (PAT) has attracted considerable attention and has been widely applied in micro hydropower systems. However, under off-design conditions, large-scale helical vortex ropes are readily induced in the draft tube,...
