On the upper part load vortex rope in Francis turbine: Experimental investigation

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Pierre Maruzewski, Amirreza Zobeiri

The swirling flow developing in Francis turbine draft tube under part load operation leads to pressure fluctuations usually in the range of 0.2 to 0.4 times the runner rotational frequency resulting from the so-called vortex breakdown. For low cavitation n ...

Experimental Evidence of Momentum Transport Induced by an Up-Down Asymmetric Magnetic Equilibrium in Toroidal Plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Alexander Karpushov, Yann Camenen, Alessandro Bortolon, Lucia Isabel Federspiel, Francesco Piras

The first experimental evidence of parallel momentum transport generated by the up-down asymmetry of a toroidal plasma is reported. The experiments, conducted in the Tokamak a` Configuration Variable, were motivated by the recent theoretical discovery of i ...

David Lyndon Emsley

A disaccharide is a challenging case for high-resolution H-1 solid-state NMR because of the 24 distinct protons (14 aliphatic and 10 OH) having H-1 chemical shifts that all fall within a narrow range of approximately 3 to 7 ppm. High-resolution H-1 (500 MH ...

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF FLOW INSTABILITIES AND ROTATING STALL IN A HIGH-ENERGY CENTRIFUGAL PUMP STAGE

François Avellan, Maher Kayal, Mohamed Farhat, Laurent Fabre, Stefan Berten, Philippe Dupont

In centrifugal pumps, the interaction between the rotating impeller and the stationary diffuser generates specific pressure fluctuation patterns. When the pump is operated at off design conditions, these pressure fluctuations increase. The resulting rise o ...

The evolution of Ap stars

Pierre North

The many peculiarities of Ap stars (not only chemical ones, but also magnetic field and slow rotation) may vary during the main-sequence evolution of these stars. We review here briefly the evidences found in the last thirty years for such evolution, with ...
