To check the optimal adaptation of the flow streamlines complete turbine water passages is to be analyzed using CFD tools. A poorly adapted profile allows local flow accelerations and boundary layer flow separations and further deteriorates the flow distribution and uniformity. The impact of flow deterioration on the hydraulic behavior of the components leads to additional secondary losses. The quality of the hydraulic investigation is important to correctly identify the potential of improvement in performance of each component. During the upgrading and rehabilitation of old power plant or new design of plant, flow analysis using CFD should be carried out prior to preparation of the bid specifications to accurately define the scope of work. In this study, different approaches for rehabilitation of hydro power projects along with different challenges in modification of existing draft tube at site were discussed.
