Numerical investigation of air admission influence on the precessing vortex rope in a Francis turbine

Precessing vortex rope (PVR) plays a key role in inducing hydraulic resonance in Francis turbines operating at partial load, possibly degrading power plant stability and availability. Air injection into the runner cone is a suitable mitigating alternative; however, the influence mechanism of air inj...
