Abstract: While larger and larger turbines are being developed, hydraulic stability has become one of the key issues for their performance assessments. An accurate prediction of their pressure fluctuations ...

Abstract: The objective of the present study is to investigate the suitable impeller geometry for a mini turbo-pump, which is defined as the size having impeller diameter between around 5 mm and 50 ...

Abstract: As a numerical method to study the cavitation performance of a Francis turbine, the mixture model for the cavity/liquid two-phase flow is adopted in the cavitating turbulent flow analysis ...
