Turbulent flow in a 3-D blade passage of a Francis hydro turbine was simulated with the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) to investigate the spatial and temporal distributions of the turbulence when strongly distorted wak...
With the development of large-capacity hydro turbines, the hydraulicinstability of hydro turbines has become one of the most important problems that affect the stableoperation of the hydro-electric units. The hydrauli...
