In this paper, a design procedure for a compact hydraulic propeller turbine for low heads is proposed and developed. The design is based upon classical criteria and on the employment of statistical correlations, which relates the main geometrical parameters to the fundamental design parameters of turbomachinery. The procedure for obtaining the meridional flow path and the stator vanes and rotor blades geometries is explained step by step. The obtained 3D model is employed to carry out a CFD calculation in order to obtain the turbine overall performance and main working parameters.
