Abstract (Deutsch)

Silt erosion impedes hydropower usage and this will become more critical with the observed climate changes particularly for the new glacier lakes of the Alpine region. SPHEROS software has been developed to simulate silt-laden flows in hydraulic machines, it will be enhanced with accurate physical models for erosion and new advanced high performance computing techniques. A tool fitting the industrial needs to predict and mitigate erosion of hydro generating units is targeted.
