Identification of the wave speed and the second viscosity in cavitating flow with 2D RANS computations - Part II

François Avellan, Sébastien Alligné

The 1D modelling of cavitation vortex rope dynamics in Francis turbine draft tube is decisive for prediction of pressure fluctuations in the system. However, models are defined with parameters which values must be quantified either experimentally or numeri ...

Parametric study of water column separation in Francis pump-turbine draft tube

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Sébastien Alligné

The paper presents the modelling, simulation and analysis of the transient behaviour of a 340 MW pump-turbine in case of emergency shutdown in generation mode with particular attention to the possible draft tube water column separation. First, the model of ...

Identification of the wave speed and the second viscosity of cavitation flows with 2D RANS computations - Part I

François Avellan, Sébastien Alligné

1D hydro-electric models are useful to predict dynamic behaviour of hydro-power plants. Regarding vortex rope and cavitation surge in Francis turbines, the 1D models require some inputs that can be provided by numerical simulations. In this paper, a 2D cav ...
