The setting level of an hydraulic machine, specially for low head machines, is decided with respect to the possible alteration of the efficiency due to the cavity development. This alteration can easily be noticed by plotting the evolution of the efficienc ...
In this first part of a 2 papers series, we present the experimental procedure for onboard measurement of pressure and strain fluctuation in a model of low head Francis turbine. 28 miniature pressure sensors are fitted in the pressure and suction sides of ...

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 ...

The two techniques, vibratory monitoring and pit counting, show promising results for the prediction of prototype cavitation erosion from model tests of Francis turbines. These cavitation detection methods are compared in two set-ups at different power lev ...

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 ...

Cavitation erosion of Francis turbines continues to impose costly repairs and loss of revenues. This erosion is primarily caused by leading edge cavitation. A revue of the literature reveals the non-existence of an absolutely validated detection technique ...
Hydraulic machine design can now take advantage of advanced flow calculation methods which are made available by several CFD software companies. Thanks to these recent developments, the so called "Volume Of Fluid" (VOF) methods can be now used for the anal ...

The setting level of a hydraulic machine, specially for low head machines, is decided with respect to the possible alteration of the efficiency due to the cavity development. This alteration can easily be noticed by following the evolution of the efficienc ...
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 ...
