description | The dynamic characteristics of running away pump turbines (PTs) with a large head variable amplitude have not been understood thus far, primarily because of two difficulties in simulation and analysis. The first is how to provide accurate time-varying boundary conditions for transient simulation of the turbine runaway process (TRP). The other is how to determine the specific appearance time of each frequency component of the complex pressure fluctuations. This study presented a one- and three-dimensional (1D-3D) coupled approach considering waterway dynamics to provide accurate unsteady boundary conditions for the transient flow simulation of a PT with a large head variable amplitude. The short-time Fourier transformation (STFT) approach was adopted to analyse the time-frequency characteristics of the transient pressures and impeller forces. The study found that the fluctuations of pressures and impeller forces during the TRP of the PT with a large head variable amplitude contained two exclusive fluctuation frequency components. The former was approximately three times the rated rotational frequency of the impeller. The later was a series of integer fold transient rotational frequencies of the impeller, which was irrelevant to the rotor-stator interactions. The findings have important value for controlling the pressure fluctuations during the TRP of PTs. |
