Disputation: Flow in contra-rotating pump-turbines at stationary, transient, and cavitating conditions

Johan Fahlbeck defends his doctoral thesis: Flow in contra-rotating pump-turbines at stationary, transient, and cavitating conditions.

This thesis investigates contra-rotating pump-turbines (CRPT) through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The research was carried out within the ALPHEUS EU research project, which examined low-head pumped hydro storage using CRPTs. The aim is to analyse and suggest operations for the CRPT at stationary, transient, and cavitating flow conditions.
