Weighted proper orthogonal decomposition of the swirling flow exiting the hydraulic turbine runner

A Fatigue Analysis of a Hydraulic Francis Turbine Runner

In this work, the estimation of crack initiation life of a hydraulic Francis turbine runner is presented. The life prediction is based on the local strain approach to predict the initiation life. First, the analysis is carried out in air and in water condition and the runner’s natural frequencies were calculated using the finite element (FE) method. The analysis in air is compared with experime...

Modeling of transitional channel flow using balanced proper orthogonal decomposition

We study reduced-order models of three-dimensional perturbations in linearized channel flow using balanced proper orthogonal decomposition BPOD . The models are obtained from three-dimensional simulations in physical space as opposed to the traditional single-wavenumber approach, and are therefore better able to capture the effects of localized disturbances or localized actuators. In order to a...

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
