Measurements of Cavitation Compliance in the Draft Tube Cone of a Reduced Scale Francis Turbine Operating at Part Load

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior

Francis turbines operating at part load conditions typically experience a cavitation vortex rope immediately at the runner outlet. As the compliance of this cavitation flow is much higher than the one in cavitation-free conditions, a decrease in the value ...

U-RANS Simulations and PIV Measurements of a Self-excited Cavitation Vortex Rope in a Francis Turbine

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Cécile Münch-Alligné

SPRINGER-VERLAG SINGAPORE PTE LTD2018

URANS Models for the Simulation of Full Load Pressure Surge in Francis Turbines Validated by Particle Image Velocimetry

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel

Due to the penetration of alternative renewable energies, the stabilization of the electrical power network relies on the off-design operation of turbines and pump-turbines in hydro-power plants. The occurrence of cavitation is however a common phenomenon ...

Experimental evidence of inter-blade cavitation vortex development in Francis turbines at deep part load condition

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Keita Yamamoto

Francis turbines are subject to various types of cavitation flow depending on the operating condition. To enable a smooth integration of the renewable energy sources, hydraulic machines are now increasingly required to extend their operating range, especia ...

Experimental investigation of the mass flow gain factor in a draft tube with cavitation vortex rope

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Andres Müller, Sébastien Alligné, Keita Yamamoto

At off-design operating operations, cavitating flow is often observed in hydraulic machines. The presence of a cavitation vortex rope may induce draft tube surge and electrical power swings at part load and full load operations. The stability analysis of t ...

Fluid-structure interaction mechanisms leading to dangerous power swings in Francis turbines at full load

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry

Hydropower plants play an important regulatory role in the large scale integration of volatile renewable energy sources into the existing power grid. This duty however requires a continuous extension of their operating range, provoking the emergence of com ...

Dynamics of the precessing vortex rope and its interaction with the system at Francis turbines part load operating conditions

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Andres Müller, Keita Yamamoto, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior

At part load conditions, Francis turbines experience the formation of a cavitation vortex rope at the runner outlet whose precession acts as a pressure excitation source for the hydraulic circuit. This can lead to hydro-acoustic resonances characterized by ...

Transposition of Francis turbine cavitation compliance at partial load to different operating conditions

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior

Francis turbines operating in part load conditions experience a swirling flow at the runner outlet leading to the development of a precessing cavitation vortex rope in the draft tube. This cavitation vortex rope changes drastically the velocity of pressure ...

Experimental Hydro-Mechanical Characterization of Full Load Pressure Surge in Francis Turbines

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Andres Müller, Keita Yamamoto

Full load pressure surge limits the operating range of hydro-electric generating units by causing significant power output swings and by compromising the safety of the plant. It appears during the off-design operation of hydraulic machines, which is increa ...

Flow characteristics and influence associated with inter-blade cavitation vortices at deep part load operations of a Francis turbine

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Keita Yamamoto

At a deep part load operation, Francis turbines are subject to the formation of inter-blade cavitation vortices inside blade channels, however its characteristics are not fully understood yet. The present study aims to investigate the development of the in ...
