The flow in a Francis turbine runner (GAMM Turbine) is analysed numerically. Different operating points are calculated using two industrial software packages based respectively on a finite element method (N3S) and a finite volume method (TASCflow®) and com ...

The precise flow-rate measurement is a basic problem in the management and the exploitation of a hydraulic power-plant. The efficiency characterisation of an hydraulic machinery or of a water distribution net is linked to the accurate knowledge of the flow ...
A numerical method has been developed to study the effects of structural mistuning on the aeroelastic behaviour of turbomachinery cascades. The specific objectives of the work presented here were the following: A method was to be developed that can assess ...
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 ...

Geometry recovery of a turbine runner can be of prime importance in at least two cases: upgrading of an old power plant and field repair of a runner. Considering the importance of the field geometry recovery, we have decided to compare three methods of mea ...

Flow pattern data for horizontal intube flow boiling are presented for refrigerants R-134a and R-402 (60/2/38). The flow pattern observations were compared with various criteria for determining whether the entire circumference of a horizontal evaporator tu ...
In order to study the inlet and outlet cavitation in a Francis turbine (nq = 48) a numerical model of the bubble dynamics is established. By using the pressure and velocity distribution obtained by a 3-D potential flow analysis of the turbine, the Rayleigh ...
The parallel rotor-stator computation capabilities of Fine Turbo and CFX-TASCflow CFD commercial codes have been investigated within the frame of the European ESPRIT project HPNURSA. Unsteady computations have been performed for simple test cases, where fl ...

The flow in the Pelton turbine bucket is three-dimensional, unsteady, turbulent, features a free surface, and is influenced by the rotation-induced forces. It is therefore difficult to investigate how the energy transfer takes place between the water flow ...

In this second part of a 2 papers series, we present the analysis of “onboard” measurements on the runner of a Low Head Francis model and comparison with the same type of measurements on a similar prototype, as well as a comparison with numerical calculati ...
