At low flow rate operation, Francis turbines feature a cavitating vortex rope in the draft tube resulting from the swirling flow of the runner outlet. The unsteady pressure field related to the precession of the vortex rope induces plane wave propagating i ...
Stability of operation of Francis turbines Hydraulic disturbances often come with the operation of Francis turbines outside of design head and flow. In some cases, the excessive amplitude of the dynamic system response to these disturbances leads to res ...
Any innovative design of a chem. or biol. reactor has to consider the dynamics of the primary phys. and chem. steps involved in the overall process. For homogeneous highly viscous systems the mixing time is of crucial importance for the product quality. In ...
Three dimensional numerical tools are now commonly used in the design or analysis process of the internai flow of hydraulic machinery. As an illustration of the use of such tools to study the internai flow of a Francis turbine, the computational results ob ...

Hydraulic turbine runners, which operate under a wide range of heads and outputs, are subjected to considerable dynamic forces at off design conditions. Therefore a detailed knowledge of mean and fluctuating pressures is required for a safe design of the r ...

Numerical and Experimental Analysis of Free Surface Flow in a 3D Non-Rotating Pelton Bucket Low frequency fluctuations often occur in hydraulic installations equipped with fixed bladed turbines or pumps operating under off design conditions. Passive measur ...
The parallel kinematics machine tool HITA-STT (Stiffness Tracking Technology) developed by Willemin–Machines S.A. and EPFL is now able to machine. This machine can reach accelerations of 5g. It is characterized by a tilt of ± 60° around the B-axis. This ch ...
An original validation of the vibratory approach of the cavitation erosion monitoring is presented. Cavitation induced vibrations on a given blade of a large hydro turbine are compared to vibrations induced at the lower guide bearing as well as to the pres ...
The low frequency pressure oscillations observed at the draft tube wall of a Francis turbine operating at part load may be split into two uniform components: a rotating pressure with a constant area-averaged value, and a synchronous pulse involving the who ...

In this second part of a 2 papers series, we present the analysis of “onboard” measurements on the runner of a Low Head Francis model and comparison with the same type of measurements on a similar prototype, as well as a comparison with numerical calculati ...
