<p>Example embodiments are directed to fluid turbines that include a turbine shroud, a rotor and an ejector shroud. The turbine shroud includes an inlet, an outlet, a leading edge and a trialing edge. The leading edge of the turbine shroud can be round and the trialing edge of the turbine shroud can include linear faceted segments. The rotor can be disposed within the turbine shroud and can define a rotor plane. The turbine shroud can provide a first portion of a fluid stream to the rotor plane via the inlet of the turbine shroud. The ejector shroud can provide a second portion of the fluid stream to the outlet of the turbine shroud via an open area. An example method of operating a fluid turbine is also provided.</p> |
