USING PIV ON THE SPLASH WATER IN A PELTON TURBINE

Abstract

At the Institute for Waterpower and Pumps, Vienna University of Technology, we have done several scientific projects in the field of flow observation in the casing of Pelton turbines. An important step in the direction of a fundamental analysis will be the measurement of the velocities of the droplets traveling in the casing and on the wall of the casing. The Austrian science fund kindly has provided a PIV-system for these investigations. The first measurements have been done on the jet at the outlet of the nozzle of the turbine. Oncoming research work will include the exact documentation of the flow through the bucket and inside of the turbine - casing.
