This paper discusses the process of designing a vertical axis water turbine for the Helix Gorlov turbine model, to justify its effectiveness. The research was conducted through 2D computational studies, and experimental studies on Jatiluhur irrigation flow. Computational studies were carried out using the CFD-Numeca software. The theoretical study was developed, through simple programming using Matlab software, in relation to determining the theoretical power generated. Experimental studies were carried out with a vertical axis water turbine design process, both prototype and model scales. Through various studies in this research, such as hydrodynamic, structural mechanical, chemical and electrical studies, this research has been able to be carried out. The power produced in the experimental study process is 140 – 210 watts per turbine with a wet area of 1.2 m2. The power generated is about 50% of the theoretical power of the Numeca 2-D simulation and 25% of the value of the 1-D theoretical study. From this research, it is found that there is a real relationship between the design process and the experimental study. The realized turbine product is not in accordance with the design, making the effectiveness of the design turbine only 50% of the theoretical and computational study value.
