Full-3D Compressible Pressure Pulsations Analysis of a Huge Francis-Type Pump-Turbine Unit Coupled with Its Water Conveyance System: Modeling Implications for Flexible Hydropower Operation

The growing demand for flexible hydropower operation requires a clearer understanding of pressure pulsations generated within hydraulic units and their connected water conveyance systems. A full three-dimensional (3D), weakly compressible computational fluid dynamics model coupling a prototype-scale ultra-high-head pum...
