Hi BBB, thanks for your response, My applications is generating power from a tidal flow. I am thinking of building a pontoon that will act as a bi directional shrouded Axial Turbine the inlet and outlet piping will be the same size.

Hi, I am interested in building a water turbine. I am not sure how to calculate the theoretical maximum power that can be derived from a flow. If I assume I have a flow of 5m/s and a channel (or pipe) 1m^2 then I have a volume of 5,000 l/s How do I calculate the energy that this flow...
