Abstract: Numerical prediction of cavitation erosion is a great scientific and technological challenge. In the past, many attempts were made—many successful. One of the issues when a comparison between a simulation and erosion ...

Abstract: Cavitation has bothered the hydraulic machinery for centuries, especially in pumps. It is essential to establish a solid way to predict the unsteady cavitation evolution with considerable accuracy. A novel cavitation model ...

Abstract: In this study, a comparison of two different Kaplan turbine runners with differently shaped turbine blades was performed. The two turbines differed in the selection of the hydrofoil, the main hydrofoil parameters of which ...
