This study simulates the flow through a small-scale open cross-flow hydraulic turbine and analyzes the turbine's performance. The simulation employs a two-dimensional particle method that was used for the simulation of a small-scale impulse-type hydraulic turbine in a prior study. Flow in the turbine is successfully simulated, with the simulated turbine performance showing good agreement with experimental measurements. The simulations also clarify that the deterioration in performance with increasing water flow rate is caused by the degeneration of the radially outward flow between the rotor blades.
