Résumé : |
The purpose of this study is to examine the validity of J-grooves in controlling and suppressing the swirl flow in a conical diffuser, for draft surge suppression in a Francis turbine, which is caused by the swirl flow from the runner outlet into the draft tube. “J-groove” composed of shallow grooves and mounted parallel to the pressure gradient on the diffuser wall is a very simple passive device to suppress several abnormal phenomena in turbomachinery. The experimental study has been performed using the conical diffuser with a divergent angle of 20 deg. The measured results of the velocity distribution in the diffuser show that a considerable reduction in the swirl intensity is attained by using J-grooves. Besides, the amplitude of pressure fluctuation caused by the rotation of the vortex core around the dead water region near the diffuser inlet is reduced by J-grooves. |
