Hydro turbine enhanced with riblets

Summary

This demonstrator will consist in a hydro turbine of which certain constituent parts will be covered by riblets, in order to increase the overall efficiency of the said turbine. This will be done using a combination of laser techniques.

Comment:

Additionally, the creation of functional surfaces has traditionally relied on processes such as chemical reactions and/or the complete coating of the native surfaces (e.g. aerofoils). Due to their very nature, these processes generate unwanted by-products thereby leaving a significant environmental footprint, which go against the “do no significant harm” principle of The European Green Deal.
