Abstract: During transients, hydroturbines may demonstrate some dynamic characteristics that differ from the corresponding static characteristics in steady operating conditions. To study the dynamic characteristics of a pumpturbine, ...

Abstract: Abstract Polyurethane-bonded rubber particle–sand composite (PolyBRuS) is a promising material for replacing the soil surrounding pile foundations to mitigate the adverse effects of seasonally frozen ground on the seismic ...

Abstract: Understanding the formation mechanism of the S-shaped characteristics (SSCs) and the relationship between flow structures and the runaway instability (RI) is the prerequisite for optimizing runner design to promote operational ...

Abstract: The pressure pulsations in the vaneless space of pump-turbines are extremely intense and always experience rapid time variations during transient scenarios, causing structural vibrations and even more serious accidents. ...
