One-Dimensional Modeling of Rotor Stator Interaction in Francis Pump-Turbine

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Nicolas Ruchonnet

A one-dimensional hydroacoustic model is set up to perform the numerical simulation of the rotor-stator interaction of a Francis pump-turbine scaled model. The numerical results enable to identify both rotating diametrical modes in the vaneless gap between ...

High-Speed Low Power Radial Turbocompressor For Oil-Free Heatpumps

Daniel Favrat, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

The presence of oil in domestic heat pumps is a hindrance, particularly for enhanced surface evaporators and for advanced concepts based on two-stage cycles. Very compact oil-free dynamic compressor directly driven by high speed electric motors and support ...

Overload Surge Event in a Pumped-Storage Power Plant

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet

At full load, pump-turbines operating in generating mode may experience a cylindrical cavitation vortex rope caused by the swirling flow in the draft tube cone. Under certain conditions, this vortex rope initiates both pressure and power oscillations. The ...

Detection of cavitation in hydraulic turbines

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Eduard Egusquiza

An experimental investigation has been carried out in order to evaluate the detection of cavitation in actual hydraulic turbines. The methodology is based on the analysis of structural vibrations, acoustic emissions and hydrodynamic pressures measured in t ...

Time biasing due to the slow-light effect in distributed fiber-optic Brillouin sensors

Luc Thévenaz, Kwang-Yong Song

The influence of the slow-light effect on the performance of distributed Brillouin sensors is studied. We show that, while in most situations it can be neglected, it may greatly affect the results obtained for certain experimental configurations. More spec ...

Numerical Analysis of Flow Phenomena Related to the Unstable Energy-Discharge Characteristic of a Pump-Turbine in Pump Mode

François Avellan, Olivier Braun

Regions of positive slope in the pressure-discharge characteristics are one of the major concerns in design and operation of centrifugal pumps, as they are limiting the admissible operating range to values above the critical discharge. The industrial pump ...

Liquid drug delivery micropump

Peter Ryser, Sigfrid Straessler

A pump system for the subcutaneous delivery of a liquid medicament, having a pump module (10) comprising a stator housing (28) with a chamber (30), a rotor (32) rotatably and axially slidably received in the chamber and comprising a first axial extension ( ...

Enhanced temporal resolution in femtosecond dynamic-grating experiments

Demetri Psaltis

Recording of gratings by interference of two pump pulses and diffraction of a third probe pulse is useful for investigating ultrafast material phenomena. We demonstrate, in theory and experiment, that the temporal resolution in such configurations does not ...
