For the purpose of automatic generation control (AGC), a portion propeller hydro-turbine units in China is adjusted to operate within restricted range 75%-85% load using computer-controlled AGC strategies. In engineering applications, it has been observed that when unit operates under off-design conditions, large-scale vortex rope would occur draft tube, leading significant pressure fluctuations. Injecting air into tube reduce amplitude fluctuations common practice, but its effectiveness not proven on units. this study, CFD model was established, and 15 cases with different guide vane openings (GVO, between 31° 45°) unsteady conditions were calculated studied. Two admission measures introduced suppress oscillation mitigate The reason for additional energy loss due then explained by entropy production theory, value quantified. This study points out injecting air, necessary first consider whether will obstruct flow tube. Finally, based simulation experimental data various fluctuation analysis (based fast Fourier transform, FFT) conducted assess measures. can provide an option balancing efficiency stability scheduling strategy.

Hydraulic vibrations in Francis turbines caused by cavitation profoundly impact the overall hydraulic performance and operational stability. Therefore, to investigate influence of phenomena under high-load conditions, a three-dimensional unsteady numerical simulation is carried out for turbine with different head operating which combined SST k-w turbulence model two-phase flow capture evolution conditions. Additionally, utilizing entropy production theory, losses during development are assessed. Contrary pressure-drop method, theory can quantitatively reflect characteristics local loss distribution, calculated error coefficient τ not exceeding 2%. The specific findings include: primary sources energy inside airfoil vortex rope, constituting 26% 71% total losses, respectively. According comparison tests, vapor volume fraction (VVF) draft tube fluctuates periodically causing low-frequency pressure pulsation turbine’s power, rate, other external characteristic parameters at 0.37 Hz, runner radial force frequency 1.85 Hz.

As a auxiliary braking device in vehicle's downhill process, parallel hydraulic retarder has strict requirements for its rapidity of response performance and accuracy torque. The uses high-pressure gas as the control medium, which pushes oil into working chamber through high-speed on/off valve. Because filling process is an indirect complicated gas–liquid movement during period affects process. In this paper, mechanical characteristics valve had analyzed by computational fluid dynamics. system's analyzed, verified experimental data. Compared with three dimensional method to directly analyze charging discharging system, it simplicity fast calculation.The modeling used paper mainly suitable system air pressure liquid medium. This integration model can obtain group more accurately certain novelty rather than Theoretical formula calculation. Then influence different input speed on transient discussed analyzed. results showed that shortest opening time 1.49 s when 3.2 bar. With decrease amount speed, oil-discharging increases gradually. When 1800 rpm rate 25 %, discharge reaches 5.48 s.
