Experimental Investigation on the Characteristics of Hydrodynamic Stabilities in Francis Hydroturbine Models

This paper presents an experimental investigation of flow phenomena related to the characteristic frequencies of pressure fluctuation in Francis hydroturbine models. The experiments were carried out on two test rigs with two model runners having hydraulic similarities. Flow field around the guide va...
