Abstract
This paper describes an investigation of the vibration characteristics of Francis-turbine runners and some experiments to determine the influence of different shapes of runner-bucket discharge edges on the excitation forces. Modifications suggested by the experiments were made to field runners and were successful in eliminating some objectionable vibration.
