Cavitation effects on the structural resonance of hydraulic turbines: Failure analysis in a real francis turbine runner
Liu, Xin; Luo, Yongyao; Presas Batlló, Alexandre; Wang, Zhengwei; Zhou, Lingjiu (2018-09-03)
Article
Open AccessWhen discussing potential resonances in hydraulic turbine runners, cavitation effects are usually neglected. Nevertheless, recent studies have experimentally proved, that large cavitation volumes in the proximity of flexible ... -
Crack growth analysis and fatigue life estimation in the piston rod of a Kaplan hydro turbine
Liu, Xin; Presas Batlló, Alexandre; Luo, Yongyao; Wang, Zhengwei (2018-11)
Article
Open AccessLinear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) approaches are seldom used to analyze fatigue problems in hydraulic turbomachinery, where extremely simplified fatigue models are normally considered. In one of the largest Kaplan ... -
Failure investigation of a Francis turbine under the cavitation conditions
Liu, Xin; Wang, Zhengwei; Zhou, Lingjiu; Escaler Puigoriol, Francesc Xavier (2016)
Conference report
Open AccessAcoustic-Structural coupling methodology has been used to numerically investigate the failure of a Francis turbine runner that broke down within one day of operation. The goal of the work has been to determine the feasibility ... -
Numerical evaluation of cavitation void ratio significance on hydrofoil dynamic response
Liu, Xin; Wang, Zhengwei; Escaler Puigoriol, Francesc Xavier; Zhou, Lingjiu (Institute of Physics (IOP), 2015)
Conference report
Open AccessThe added mass effects on a NACA0009 hydrofoil under cavitation conditions determined in a cavitation tunnel have been numerically simulated using finite element method (FEM). Based on the validated model, the effects of ... -
