Investigation of the Time Resolution Set Up Used to Compute the Full Load Vortex Rope in a Francis Turbine
The flow in a Francis turbine at full load is characterised by the development of an axial vortex rope in the draft tube. The vortex rope often promotes cavitation if the turbine is operated at a sufficiently low Thoma number. Furthermore, the vortex rope can evolve from a stable to an unstable beha...
