Dynamic Pressures around a Confined Block Impacted by Plunging Aerated High-Velocity Jets

Anton Schleiss, Erik Bollaert, Rafael Xavier Meriade Duarte

The impingement of high-velocity water jets on unlined plunge pools causes scour on the rock foundations. The scour process is the result of complex physical phenomena that happen consecutively. Turbulence and dynamic pressures play a major role, especiall ...

Cavitation influence on hydroacoustic resonance in pipe

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Sébastien Alligné, Nicolas Ruchonnet

In pipe systems, pressure and flow fluctuations below cutoff frequency propagate as plane waves along pipes. Depending on the pipe length and propagation velocity, resonance leading to high amplitude pressure fluctuation may occur. At low pressure, cavitat ...

Influence of Blade Aspiration on the Flow Quality of an Annular Axial Compressor Cascade

Peter Ott, Elia Colombo

Experimental and numerical investigations were performed in order to develop a technique of active flow control by aspiration applied to an annular axial compressor cascade. Continuous aspiration is applied through shaped slots located on the suction side ...

Imaging based optofluidic interferometer on a chip

Demetri Psaltis, Wuzhou Song

We introduce for the first time an integrated optofluidic interferometer on a PDMS microfluidic chip. By imaging the local interference patterns inside the chip, both of the fluid pressure and flow rate can be measured. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America ...

At part load operation of Francis turbine, the swirl in the draft tube leads to flow instability known as vortex breakdown. This flow instability can interact with the rest of the hydraulic circuit through axially propagating plane-waves. Moreover, at low ...

Piezoresistive pressure sensors using classical deformable structures such as membranes progressively run into difficulties at very high pressures (above 1 to 2 kbar), due to the decreasing ratio between the available sensing strain on the outer membrane s ...

The dissipation of energy of flood discharges from water releasing structures of dams is often done by plunging jets diffusing in water and impacting on the riverbed downstream. The construction of expensive concrete structures for energy dissipation can b ...

Pump-Turbine Rotor-Stator Interactions in Generating Mode: Pressure Fluctuation in Distributor Channel

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Amirreza Zobeiri

Investigation of the rotor-stator interactions of a reduced-scale model 0.19 ν= pump-turbine in generating mode is presented for the maximum discharge operating condition. This operating point is chosen in order to have the most important rotor-stator inte ...
