Hydroacoustic Simulation of Rotor-Stator Interaction in Resonance Conditions in Francis Pump-Turbine

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Nicolas Ruchonnet, Sébastien Alligné

Combined effect of rotating pressure field related to runner blade and wakes of wicket gates leads to rotor stator interactions, RSI, in Francis pump-turbines. These interactions induce pressures waves propagating in the entire hydraulic machine. Superposi ...

Unstable Operation of Francis Pump-Turbine at runaway: Rigid and Elastic Water Column Oscillation Modes

François Avellan, Basile Kawkabani, Jean-Jacques Simond, Sébastien Alligné

This paper presents a numerical simulation study of the transient behavior of a 2x340MW pump-turbine power plant, where the results show an unstable behavior at runaway. First, the modeling of hydraulic components based on equivalent schemes is presented. ...

Influence of the Francis turbine location under vortex rope excitation on the hydraulic system stability

François Avellan, Basile Kawkabani, Jean-Jacques Simond, Philippe Allenbach, Christophe Nicolet, Sébastien Alligné

Hydroelectric power plants are known for their ability to cover variations of the consumption in electrical power networks. In order to follow this changing demand, hydraulic machines are subject to off-design operation. In that case, the swirling flow lea ...

Numerical Simulation of Nonlinear Self Oscillations of a Full Load Vortex Rope

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Nicolas Ruchonnet, Pierre Maruzewski, Vlad Hasmatuchi, Sébastien Alligné

Self excited instabilities or oscillations of a cavitating full load vortex rope occur due to an interaction between the gas volume and the acoustic waves. From the onset of the oscillations, the amplitudes grow until they reach a maximum, called the “limi ...
