Simulation of Transients in Hydraulic Machines (SiTHyM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Because of the evolution of the electricity market in Europe hydraulic machines are operated in non conventional conditions. This leads to the apparition of strong transient flow phenomena that are not well understood. Conventional numerical simulation tools are not well adapted to capture these transient phenomena. It is proposed to use a novel approach based on the mesh-free technique Smoothed P ...
