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 ...
Different measurement techniques have been used to detect cavitation on a Francis turbine model. The results are compared to those obtained on the prototype and presented in the first of this series of articles. The runner mode! used for that study is buil ...
In the field of hydraulic power plant, the leading edge cavitation is often responsible of sever erosion which may cause a premature shutdown of energy production with costly consequences. This type of cavitation is characterized by an attached vapour cavi ...
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 ...

During the past five years, delay-Doppler radar has become the primary technique for studying the structure of Earth-crossing asteroids. None of these objects has yet been visited by spacecraft, so ground-truth test cases are lacking. A laboratory system i ...
Model testing of hydraulic turbines, storage pumps and pump-turbines is of great importance especially for large units involved in power generation. Among all the aspects of machine operation, cavitation plays a fundamental role with respect to the possibl ...
The purpose of this paper is to assess the expected response of conventional and non-conventional quench detection sensors proposed for the ITER coils, and to be tested in the QUELL experiment in SULTAN. The assessment is based on simulation of thermohydra ...
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. In the case of traveling bubble cavitation, corresponding to the outlet cavitatio ...
