Abstract

Fish suffers inevitable injuries when passing a common hydraulic turbine. Injury and mortality of fish will cause pollution to the water. This will restrict the ecological development of the hydropower project. Aiming at the measures for downstream passage of the fish and existing problems, four kinds of injury mechanisms, namely, mechanical, pressure, shear force and cavitation injuries, are introduced in this paper. The injury degree of fish is related to the type and size of the fish body and the way to enter the hydraulic turbine system. According to the injury mechanisms, the main idea of the design of a fish-friendly hydraulic turbine is put forward. The criteria for designing a conventional fish-friendly hydraulic turbin and the design philosophy of a typical fish-friendly hydraulic turbine are expounded.
