Features: This book collects selected papers, abstracts, and bibliographies from China's research and engineering practices on turbine and pump sand erosion since the 1980s. The content covers river sediment characteristics, a review of 50 years of sand erosion research on turbines in China, wear and tear mechanisms, simulation test devices and methods, manufacturing and materials of hydropower equipment, protective materials for metals and non-metals (coatings), as well as other comprehensive management measures such as dam layout, sediment discharge facilities, optimized operation, hydraulic design, structural improvements, and reasonable maintenance, which have achieved significant technical results and basic experience. The book is highly professional and practical, serving as a reference for engineering technicians, management personnel, and researchers in hydropower and water conservancy engineering, design, manufacturing, operation, maintenance, and management. It is particularly suitable for students and postgraduate researchers in universities and colleges majoring in hydropower, hydrodynamics, hydroelectric machinery, and related fields.
