Kaplan turbines, as one of the well-known hydraulic turbines, are generally utilized
worldwide for low-head and high-flow conditions. Any failure in each of the turbine …

Cavitation is an important issue of reversible pump-turbines especially in the pump mode. It
usually causes noise, vibration, material-damage and operation stability on the pump …

Cavitation may result in reduced efficiency, increased noise and vibration and weight loss of
a hydraulic turbine when local pressure is lower than the vaporization pressure. In this …

A full-scale Francis turbine has been experimentally investigated over its full range of
operation to detect draft tube swirling flows and cavitation. The unit is of interest due to the …

Industrial failure prognostics can be considered as the key process of any condition-based
maintenance solution. However, contrary to fault diagnostics which is a mature research and …

One of the main causes of damage in hydraulic turbines is cavitation. While not all cavitation
appearing in a turbine is of a destructive type, erosive cavitation can severely affect the …

When a pump is running in turbine mode, susceptibility to cavitation increases, and it may be
more severe than that in conventional hydro turbines. To accomplish the basic aim of …

An experimental investigation has been made to detect cavitation in a pump–storage
hydropower plant prototype suffering from leading edge cavitation in pump mode. Vibrations …

Lucrarea de doctorat, prin obiectivele sale, este o continuare a cercetărilor din cadrul
Colectivului de Cavitație al Universității Politehnica din Timișoara. Prin rezultatele …

A new facility for the design, manufacturing and standardized tests of model hydraulic
turbines is under construction at TOBB University of Economics and Technology. The facility …
