Theoretical analysis of turbines for predicting of operating characteristics is a complex and poor way which gives only values and details of flow field behavior and causes for loss of efficiency cannot be investigated. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is a robust technique for prediction of performance characteristics of hydraulic machineries and the actual fluid flow behavior can be observed. In this study the CFD analysis of a Francis hydraulic turbine is carried out which was selected for operation at a hydropower station on Kunar River in Afghanistan during some theoretical designs and calculations. Francis turbine is simulated based on designed data and operating behavior of turbine is predicted and fluid flow in turbine domain is observed.
