Figure 1 Flow diagram of the proposed conceptual design process [5]. the design space of the runner is defined and the variables, which affect erosion are analyzed. These results allow obtaining the objective functions for the optimization process. The data obtained in the optimization process are: the inlet and outlet velocity, the flow acceleration, degree of reaction, submergence height, outlet diameter and equation of the blade angle distribution. Mathematical adjustment is compared with results available in the open domain literature. Once the hydraulic design parameters are known, the geometry of the blade is built in three dimensions for subsequent numerical assessment.
