Transposition of Francis turbine cavitation compliance at partial load to different operating conditions

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior

Francis turbines operating in part load conditions experience a swirling flow at the runner outlet leading to the development of a precessing cavitation vortex rope in the draft tube. This cavitation vortex rope changes drastically the velocity of pressure ...

Experimental investigation of the mass flow gain factor in a draft tube with cavitation vortex rope

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Andres Müller, Sébastien Alligné, Keita Yamamoto

At off-design operating operations, cavitating flow is often observed in hydraulic machines. The presence of a cavitation vortex rope may induce draft tube surge and electrical power swings at part load and full load operations. The stability analysis of t ...

Development of Leaky-Wave Antenna Applications with Acoustics Metamaterials: from the Acoustic Dispersive Prism to Sound Direction Finding with a Single Microphone

Juan Ramon Mosig, Hervé Lissek, Sami Driss Karkar, Seyyed Hussein Seyyed Esfahlani

Recent studies have focused on developing metamaterials for acoustic applications, inspired by electromagnetics concepts. The acoustic leaky-wave antenna is amongst the most investigated. Despite the unfavourable properties of conventional matter and struc ...

Localization of emergency acoustic sources by micro aerial vehicles

Dario Floreano, Felix Stephan Schill, Meysam Basiri

For micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) involved in search and rescue missions, the ability to locate the source of a distress sound signal is significantly important and allows fast localization of victims and rescuers during nighttime, through foliage and in du ...

Experimental Investigation of Bolt-Configured Naturally Buckling Braces with Gusset Plate Connections

Hiroyuki Inamasu

The Naturally Buckling Brace (NBB) is a steel brace developed by the writers, which consists of a high-strength and low-yielding steel channel arranged in parallel with an intentional eccentricity along the brace length. The NBB deforms with a novel mechan ...

Properties of the shear stress peak radiated ahead of rapidly accelerating rupture fronts that mediate frictional slip

Jean-François Molinari, Mathilde Edmée Lucette Radiguet de la Bastaie, David Simon Kammer, Daniel Pino Muñoz

We study rapidly accelerating rupture fronts at the onset of frictional motion by performing high-temporal-resolution measurements of both the real contact area and the strain fields surrounding the propagating rupture tip. We observe large-amplitude and l ...

Signal analysis of an actively generated cavitation bubble in pressurized pipes for detection of wall stiffness drops

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Mohamed Farhat, Fadi Hachem, Alexandre Jean Pachoud

Due to the increasing production of volatile new renewable energies as solar and wind, storage hydropower plants have to operate under harsh operation conditions in order to stabilize the electricity grid. As a result, highly transient water pressures occu ...

Local wave speed and bulk flow viscosity in Francis turbines at part load operation

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Andres Müller

The operation of Francis turbines at off-design conditions may cause the development of a cavitation vortex rope in the draft tube cone, acting as a pressure excitation source. The interactions between this excitation source and the hydraulic system at the ...
