摘要：Transient conditions such as load rejection will often lead to high amplitude pressure fluctuations that will affect a turbine residual-life. If Computational Fluid Dynamic offers a promising tool to study the flow dynamic under transient regime, focused validation data on the runner are still lacking to assess the accuracy of different simulation strategies. Hence within the framework of the AxialT project of the International Consortium o n Hydraulic Machines, exploratory measurements of the pressure field on the runner blades of a propeller turbine model were performed in transient conditions. The model was setup on the test stand of the LAMH of Laval University. The test stand control procedures were adapted to mimic transient condition such as load rejection or the transition from a normal operating condition to a speed-no-load condition. The pressure on the runner blades were measured using miniature piezo-resistive transducer linked to a high frequency telemetric system. Using specifically adapted data processing routines, it was possible to characterize the variations of the energ y content during the transient runs. Specifically, the main fluctuatio ns appear to occur in the sub-synchronous range in both cases
