In the high-head reversible pump-turbines, the most unfavourable hydraulic instability is the
unstable pressure fluctuations in the vaneless space caused by interactions between the …

An axial-flow pump impeller is designed on the basis of plane cascade theory, which is
based on surface element method, to study the influence of impeller rotor on the hydraulic …

In order to explore the impact load and instantaneous fluid pressure of transient flow on
pump station system under the nonregulative operating conditions, the transient …

Purpose The gaps between runner and nearby structures play an important role in the
dynamic response of runner, especially for pump-turbines. This paper aims to evaluate the …

The shaft of the slanted axial-flow pump device is inclined, so, the stress on the impeller is
complex, which leads to the prominent problem of structural reliability. In order to study the …

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) was used to determine the structural mechanical
characteristics of full tubular and axial-flow pumps. The results showed that as the flow rate …

Tubular pumps are widely used in irrigation and water conveyance projects. However, the
operating head of most of these pumps is low, and only a few studies have focused on the …

To obtain the flow mechanism of the transient characteristics of a Kaplan turbine, a three-
dimensional (3-D) unsteady, incompressible flow simulation during load rejection was …
