The air test of a model of the propeller turbine was performed to reconsider the methods of designing Kaplan turbines by the usual two-dimensional treatments. The performances of it, the flow conditions at the inlet and outlet of the runner and the pressure distributions on the running blades were measured to compare with the ones of two-dimensional cascades.
