This article is devoted to the search for conditions for optimal operation of a microhydroturbine model. The experiments were carried out in air medium. Velocity fields were measured in the outlet cone of a hydraulic turbine using an LDA system. It was shown that by modeling the flow in the air, using the integral swirl parameter S, it is possible to quickly determine the optimal regime of operation of the turbine for the given parameters of the water resource.
