At this time, a large number of hydraulic turbomachinery installations are ageing, so that they need refurbishement to increase their efficiency and their associated output power. The items that need refurbishement are mainly the runner and the guide vanes ...
Flows in hydraulic machinery show interactions between guiding and rotating components. The wakes of the fixed components will be part responsible for the pressure fluctuations sensed on the blades. Those fluctuations become more important when the distanc ...
The paper below is a follow up of the authors contribution to the IAHR 2002, in which the simulations of the flow through Pelton buckets were presented. In 2002, a good consistency between the predicted and measured efficiency was presented. This paper wil ...

Mathematical and numerical aspects of free surface flows are investigated. On one hand, the mathematical analysis of some free surface flows is considered. A model problem in one space dimension is first investigated. The Burgers equation with diffusion ha ...
We present a formulation for accommodating defective boundary conditions for the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations where only averaged values are prescribed on measurable portions of the boundary. In particular we consider the case where the flow rat ...

Flow in a elbow draft tube is a turbulent complex unsteady flow caused by its rotating nature and the draft tube's geometry. The understanding of the main phenomena that could appear near the BEP and at off-design conditions is important to master the inst ...

The work presented in this paper is part of a comprehensive research effort aimed at understanding the influence of flow unsteadiness on leading edge cavitation. Pressure measurements are made on the suction side of an oscillating hydrofoil in the High-Spe ...
Low-tension circuit breakers generally rely on the extinction of the electric arc created when the current-carrying contacts separate. The dynamics of the arc has been studied for a number of years using numerical simulations of the coupled fluid dynamics/ ...
This paper presents investigations of unsteady flow conditions influence over cavitation dynamics. Measurements of wall pressure fluctuations in a model turbine are first introduced. It is shown that the wake of the spiral casing tongue modulates cavity dy ...
An experimental investigation has been conducted in the non-rotating annular test facility of the "Laboratoire de Thermique Appliquée et de Turbomachines" (LTT), "École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne" (EPFL). During this investigation, the unsteady aer ...
