This study analyzes the effect of blade angle and blade number on water turbine performance using ANSYS Fluent simulations and experimental testing. An experimental method combined with Multiple Reference Frame (MRF) simulation was applied. Blade angles of 100°, 110°, and 120° were tested with 6 and 9 blade configurations. The evaluated parameters included rotational speed (RPM), torque, mechanical power, and electrical output power. Results show that increasing the blade angle generally improves turbine performance. The highest power output was achieved at the 120° blade angle in both simulation and experimental tests. Differences between simulation and experimental results were caused by ideal simulation assumptions and practical losses, including friction and water flow variations. Overall, the findings demonstrate that blade geometry has a significant influence on turbine performance and energy conversion efficiency.
