Aeration equipment for small depths
(EDP Sciences, 2015-05-06)Deficit of air in water causes complications with cyanobacteria mainly in the summer months. Cyanobacteria is a bacteria that produces poison called cyanotoxin. When the concentration of cyanobacteria increases, the phenomena ... -
Comprehensive Study Of Unsteady Pressure Pulsations Induced By The Spiral Vortex Structure In A Conical Diffuser
(Faculty of Technologies and Systems, 2015-09-09)The decelerated swirling flow often breaks down into helical structure which is unstable and causes unsteady velocity and pressure fields. The numerical and experimental investigation of this flow pattern is carried out ... -

Spatio-temporal description of the cavitating flow behavior around NACA 2412 hydrofoil
(IOP Publishing, 2015-12-06)Spatio-temporal description of the cavitating flow around hydrofoil with 8 degrees incidence using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is presented. POD is a suitable tool, which provides information not only about the ... -
Check valve slam analysis in pumping station
(EDP Sciences, 2016-03-28)Pumping station supplies water for technological process. The check valve in the station was replaced with a new one. The regular test of black out discovered the high pressure pulsations accompanied with noticeable pipeline ... -
Optimization of hydraulic turbine diffuser
(EDP Sciences, 2016-03-28)Hydraulic turbine diffuser recovers pressure energy from residual kinetic energy on turbine runner outlet. Efficiency of this process is especially important for high specific speed turbines, where almost 50% of available ... -
Methods of Experimental Investigation of Cavitation in a Convergent - Divergent Nozzle of Rectangular Cross Section
(De Gruyter Open, 2016-08-01)Cavitation is a phenomenon with both positive and negative effects and with dynamic manifestations in hydraulic, food, chemical and other machinery. This article deals with the detection and dynamic behavior of cavitation ... -
Experimental investigation of check valve behaviour during the pump trip
(IOP Publishing, 2017-04-04)The paper is focused on the description of an experimental investigation of a nozzle check valve. Attention is paid to the behaviour during transitions when the flow is decelerating. Flow reversal is often accompanied with ... -
Valve exploiting the principle of a side channel turbine
(IOP Publishing, 2017-04-04)The presented article deals with a side channel turbine, which can be used as a suitable substitute for a pressure reducing valve. Pressure reducing valves are a source of high hydraulic losses. The aim is to replace them ... -
Experimental investigation of the check valve behaviour when the flow is reversing
(EDP Sciences, 2017-05-12)Check valve in a pipeline is supposed to prevent the reverse flow and to allow the flow in the positive direction. The construction of check valves follows these requirements, but the check valve must not cause pressure ... -
Additional effects of uid on the piston
(EDP Sciences, 2018-06-04)Additional eect of uid on the solid body is often ignored phenomenon. Although it is possible to do an analytic derivation of equations describing additional eects for many various conditions, it can be dicult to solve ... -
Manipulation of the swirling flow instability in hydraulic turbine diffuser by different methods of water injection
(EDP Sciences, 2018-06-04)Vortex rope, which induces substantial pressure pulsations, arises in the draft tube (diffuser) of Francis turbine for off-design operating conditions. Present paper focuses on mitigation of those pulsations using active ... -
