Numerical Study on Flow Characteristics in a Francis Turbine during Load Rejection

Numerical Study on Flow Characteristics in a Francis Turbine during Load Rejection

Labyrinth seals are not usually included in the numerical models of hydraulic machinery to simplify the geometric modeling, and thereby reduce the calculation burden. However, this simplification affects the numerical results, especially in the load rejection process, because disc friction losses, v...
