Analysis of the Guide Vane Jet-Vortex Flow and the Induced Noise in a Prototype Pump-Turbine

The start-up process of a pump-turbine in pump mode is found with obvious noise, especially at the small guide vane opening angle. The turbulent-flow-induced noise is an important part and must be reduced by flow control. Therefore, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is used in this study...
