 Assit. Prof. Wissam Hashim Khalil, director of Renewable Energy Research Center - University of Anbar, Published a scientific article with a researcher form University of Anbar in an international journal “Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences” has Scopus index Q3 titled:

“Numerical and Experimental Modelling of Small Hydropower Turbine”

This article, which is a part of M.Sc. thesis, dealt with the influence of the flow rate, shaft inclination angle, and the number of blades is studied using physical and numerical model to determine the performance of Archimedes screw turbine at Ramadi Barrages in Iraq. The physical model was made of stainless steel with the following parameters: (the radius ratio is 0.536, the pitch is 70 mm, the shaft angles are (30⁰, 35⁰, 40⁰, 45⁰). The experimental work on the physical model is achieved with different flow rates and angles. The results showing that the highest efficiency is 81.4 % at the angle of 35⁰ and the flow rate is 1.12 l/s. The maximum energy obtained is 25.13 w at the angle of 45⁰, the flow rate is 2.065 l/s, and the efficiency was 72%. Also, the results show that the increase in the number of blades increases the torque and efficiency of the turbine.
