A numerical model for the simulation of three-dimensional liquid-gas flow with free surfaces is presented. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are assumed to hold in the liquid domain, while the surrounding gas is assumed to be compressible, with co ...
The axial compressor is an essential component of aero-engines and gas turbines. This work investigates how flow control by aspiration applied to the hub and to the blades of axial compressor wheels can improve the static pressure rise by preventing detrim ...
In this paper, an oil and dye flow visualization technique applied in two different cases of experimental testing is described, namely a single fan in crossflow and the wake of a compressor cascade. In both cases, the mixture of paint was prepared using a ...
The flow in the draft tube cone of Francis turbines operated at partial discharge is a complex hydrodynamic phenomenon where an incoming steady axisymmetric swirling flow evolves into a three-dimensional unsteady flow field with precessing helical vortex ( ...

With economical energy market strategies based on instantaneous pricings of electricity as function of the demand or the predictions, operators harness more hydroelectric facilities to off-design operating points to cover the variations of the electricity ...
The present work is a contribution to the physical analysis and numerical simulation of the pressure surges in hydraulic machinery and connected conduit systems. Localized hydrodynamic instabilities including cavitation are prone to interact with the entir ...
Flow numerical simulations in a low specific speed radial pump-turbine scale model are performed to investigate off-design operating conditions in generating mode. The Best Efficiency Point (BEP) and the runaway operating conditions at 10° guide vanes open ...
Small density variations due to low solute concentrations in the stream water commonly exist in streams and rivers. Using laboratory experiments and numerical modeling, we demonstrated that even such small density variations could influence the hyporheic f ...
Centrifugal pumps are required to sustain a stable operation of the system they support under all operating conditions. Minor modifications of the surfaces defining the pump's water passage can influence the tendency to unstable system operation significan ...
The planning and design of a sustainable reservoir require the accurate prediction of flow and sediment deposition patterns. Numerical simulation of flow in reservoirs is important in order to determine the detailed flow pattern. This typically includes fl ...
