Abstract
Said hydraulic turbine includes a wheel which is made to rotate about a rotational axis (X) by a main water stream (F) going from a penstock to a suction tube along a flow path that passes through the wheel. Said turbine also includes first means that are placed outside the flow path of the main water stream (F) and enable the mixing of a secondary water stream (F), taken from the flow path and located upstream from the wheel, and an oxygen-containing gas (A). Said turbine also includes second means for injection, downstream from the wheel of the turbine, a water/gas mixture (F) produced in the first means.
