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 ...
Model testing of hydraulic turbines, storage pumps and pump-turbines is of great importance especially for large units involved in power generation. Among all the aspects of machine operation, cavitation plays a fundamental role with respect to the possibl ...
A common phenomenon in Francis turbines is draft tube surge. In these fixed-bladed machines, a strong runner outlet swirl can develop under off-design conditions. The action of the diffuser, and in particular the draft tube elbow, on the rotating flow fiel ...
This paper describes vibration analysis techniques that have been adapted and used to classify cavitation in a model Francis turbine. This analysis can be used to compliment standard cavitation tests. Cavitation can be classified in various ways using vibr ...
