A New Miniature Wind Turbine for Wind Tunnel Experiments. Part II: Wake Structure and Flow Dynamics

Fernando Porté Agel, Majid Bastankhah

An optimized three-bladed horizontal-axis miniature wind turbine, called WiRE-01, with the rotor diameter of 15 cm is designed and fully characterized in Part I of this study. In the current part of the study, we investigate the interaction of the turbine ...

The Role of Impeller Outflow Conditions on the Performance of Vaned Diffusers

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

Highly loaded impellers, typically used in turbocharger and gas turbine applications, exhaust an unsteady, transonic flow that is nonuniform across the span and pitch and swirling at angles approaching tangential. With the exception of the flow angle, conf ...

Large Eddy Simulation of the Rotating Stall in a Pump-Turbine Operated in Pumping Mode at a Part-Load Condition

François Avellan, Olivier Pacot

The investigation of the rotating stall phenomenon appearing in the HYDRODYNA pump-turbine reduced scale model is carried out by performing a large-scale large eddy simulation (LES) computation using a mesh featuring approximately 85 x 10(6) elements. The ...

Optimal Operations and Resilient Investments in Steam Networks

François Maréchal, Laurent Gabriel Félix Alexandre Stéphane Bungener, Greta Martha Van Eetvelde

Steam is a key energy vector for industrial sites, most commonly used for process heating and cooling, cogeneration of heat and mechanical power as a motive fluid or for stripping. Steam networks are used to carry steam from producers to consumers and betw ...

Energy production with a tubular propeller turbine

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Vlad Hasmatuchi, Cécile Münch-Alligné, Irene Almeida Samora

Micro-hydropower is a way of improving the energetic efficiency of existent water systems. In the particular case of drinking water systems, several studies have showed that pressure reducing valves can be by-passed with turbines in order to recover the di ...

Simulated Annealing in Optimization of Energy Production in a Water Supply Network

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Irene Almeida Samora

In water supply systems, the potential exists for micro-hydropower that uses the pressure excess in the networks to produce electricity. However, because urban drinking water networks are complex systems in which flows and pressure vary constantly, identif ...

Turbulent scale resolving modelling of rotating stall in low-pressure steam turbines operated under low volume flow conditions

Peter Ott, Ivan William McBean, Benjamin Megerle

Non-synchronous excitation under low volume operation is a major risk to the mechanical integrity of last stage moving blades (LSMBs) in low-pressure (LP) steam turbines. These vibrations are often induced by a rotating aerodynamic instability similar to r ...

High-resolution LES of the rotating stall in a reduced scale model pump-turbine

François Avellan, Olivier Pacot

Extending the operating range of modern pump-turbines becomes increasingly important in the course of the integration of renewable energy sources in the existing power grid. However, at partial load condition in pumping mode, the occurrence of rotating sta ...

Unsteady Aerodynamics of Low-Pressure Steam Turbines Operating Under Low Volume Flow

Peter Ott, Ivan William McBean, Benjamin Megerle

Nonsynchronous excitation under low volume operation is a major risk to the mechanical integrity of last stage moving blades (LSMBs) in low-pressure (LP) steam turbines. These vibrations are often induced by a rotating aerodynamic instability similar to ro ...

Mind the gap - tip leakage vortex in axial turbines

Mohamed Farhat, Matthieu Dreyer

The tendency of designing large Kaplan turbines with a continuous increase of output power is bringing to the front the cavitation erosion issue. Due to the flow in the gap between the runner and the discharge ring, axial turbine blades may develop the so ...
