Abstract
The Schneider turbine can generate power from relatively low‐head hydroenergy sources such as rivers and irrigation canals. In the current work, the theory and analysis of the Schneider turbine have been established, together with the procedure for selection of the main design parameters leading to optimum performance. Moreover, a model of this turbine has been constructed and tested in a specially designed test rig. The successful operation of the Schneider turbine model under various values of relatively low heads proves that such design is suitable for low head applications. Also, the good agreement between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions validates the current theory and analysis.
