Abstract
The basic hydrodynamic principles of horizontal axis turbines are presented. Computational methods based on vortex theory for design of such turbines and for calculation of their hydro or aerodynamic characteristics are described in detail. These methods are applicable both to wind and water turbines. The influence of detailed turbine geometry on its characteristics is presented. Several practical computational examples of different wind and water turbines are included. Specific problems of cavitation of water turbines and of sound emission of wind turbines are presented and discussed. Principles for selection of optimum locations of wind and water turbines leading to their highest effectiveness are also described.
