Kaplan turbines are categorized by an axial flow through adjustable blades. The angle of the water inlet
into the turbine and the cross-section of flow are altered by adjusting the director vanes. The adjustment
of the blades permits the velocity at the rotor to be modified. The combination of both adjustment options
optimizes efficiency.
