In the framework of the INTERREG IIIb NWE project « Strategies and Actions for Flood Risk Management » (SAFER), a regional streambank erosion hazard model has been developed. This diagnostic model is tested on the Lauter River in Germany. Shear stress maps ...
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 ...
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 ...

New developments of free surface flows computation have been made by several CFD software companies. Thanks to these developments, new methods such as the Volume of Fluid (VOF) can be now used for the analysis of the free surface flows in various hydraulic ...
A series of tests have been put into effect in a laboratory to improve the cavitation monitoring techniques. Simultaneous vibrations and dynamic pressures have been measured in a reduced scale Francis turbine model with different types of cavitation: weak ...
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 plotting the evolution of the efficiency ...

Scale model of high specific speed Francis turbines may present at upper part load operation under low cavitation number pressure fluctuation in the range 2 to 4 times fn, the rotating frequency. In the framework of the FLINDT project, pressure measurement ...

Design, operation and refurbishment of hydraulic turbines, pumps or pump-turbine are strongly related to cavitation flow phenomena, which may occur in either the rotating runner-impeller or the stationary parts of the machine. The paper presents the cavita ...
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 ...

Centrifuge experiments modeling single-phase flow in prototype porous media typically use the same porous medium and permeant. Then, well-known scaling laws are used to transfer the results to the prototype. More general scaling laws that relax these restr ...
