Slurry erosion of turbine components is a serious problem in most of the hydraulic power plants all around the world. Although some counter measures such as catchment area treatment to reduce the amount of sand particles going through the turbine components and modifying the hydraulic shape of turbine to reduce slurry erosion have been taken, still slurry erosion is responsible for heavy economic losses. Research is also in progress for improving the surface properties of the turbine components by the application of thermal sprayed coatings. Among various thermal spray processes, high-velocity oxy fuel (HVOF) spray process is a relatively industrially established and economical process. In this paper, an attempt has been made to describe HVOF thermal spray technology. Further, this paper presents a tutorial introduction, comprehensive history, and review of research work done on the use of this technique to provide protection against slurry erosion of some metals and alloys with a special emphasis on the hydraulic turbine steels.

Current work is devoted to experimental investigations of behavior of precessing vortex rope in a draft tube model of hydraulic turbine. We used combination of stationary and freely rotating swirlers as a hydro turbine model. Such construction provides velocity distribution on the draft tube inlet close to distribution in natural hydraulic turbines operated at non-optimal conditions. The phenomenon of precessing vortex rope reconnection with further formation of vortex ring was founded in this experimental research using high-speed visualization technique. Synchronization of highspeed visualization and pressure measurements allowed us to relate pressure shock on the draft tube wall with vortex ring moving along wall.
