The paper draws special attention on description of the Saxo turbine and its main differences comparing to tubular and Kaplan type turbines. In addition some main issues of theoretical and numerical investigations of the flow field in the intake elbow, distributor, runner regions and draft tube are described. The main goal of the proposed paper is to point out some key advantages of the design and hydrodynamic characteristics of a Saxo turbine to corresponding professional community and to awaken interest on this interesting turbine design.
