Abstract
It is shown that with a fairly compact shroud a significant power augmentation can be achieved. For improving the shroud performance, the use of a ring-shaped flap or boundary layer control techniques are introduced. It is shown that up to 80% improvement in the shroud power augmentation can be obtained by the use of an appropriate ring-shaped flap while proper bleeding of the shroud's external flow into its inner rear part will increase its power augmentation by about 25%. Based on the reported research with shrouds, a pilot plant producing 1 hp at 5 m/s with a 3 m dia. turbine was built. Its preliminary field test results are included.
