Kaplan turbine runner rotates in water flow inside an enclosed discharge ring. The vibratory runner motion in the fluid flow induces pressure forces onto the wet runner surfaces with inertia effects conveniently described by the so-called hydrodynamic added mass and damping. These inertia effects influence the wet natural frequencies and the amplitudes. The role of the hydrodynamic added mass and damping in the Kaplan turbine shaft rotor dynamics has not been sufficiently well understood. This paper focuses on comprehensive understanding of these phenomena across the Kaplan design range. The results are based on a method derived from Theodorsen’s unsteady thin airfoil theory and on the Finite Element Method (FEM). The former method includes the water flow, the runner rotation and the circulatory effects, which makes it possible to calculate the added damping and evaluate the accuracy of FEM. The most critical vibration modes and shaft line configurations have been identified with inherent weaknesses in typical shaft line models. The added damping has been quantified. The numerical results have been compared to the experimental results.

Hydraulic turbine runners experience high excitation forces in their daily operations, and these excitations may cause resonances to runners, which may induce high vibrations and shorten the runner's lifetimes. Increasing the added damping of runners in water can be helpful to reduce the vibration level during resonances. Some studies have shown that the modification of the trailing edge shape can be helpful to increase added damping of hydrofoils in water. However, the influence of blade trailing edge shape on the added damping of hydraulic turbine runners has been studied in a limited way before. Due to the difficulties to study this problem experimentally, the influence of blade trailing edge shape on a Kaplan turbine runner has been studied numerically in this paper and the one-way FSI method was implemented. The performances of three different turbulence models, including the k − ϵ , k − ω   SST , and transition SST models, in the added damping simulation of the NACA 0009 hydrofoil were evaluated by comparing with the available results of the two-way FSI simulation in the references. Results show that, unlike the significantly different performances in the two-way FSI method, the performances of all the turbulence models are very close in the one-way FSI method. Then, the k − ϵ turbulence model was applied to the added damping simulation of a Kaplan turbine runner, and results show that the modification of the blade trailing edge shape can be helpful to increase the added damping to some extent.

Vertical Kaplan turbines, manufactured in Russia and with nominal power of 200 MW, have been installed in 6 hydroelectric generating units at hydro power plant Djerdap 1. Hydroelectric generating sets have been designed for the service life of 40 years due to structural solutions and limited possibilities of performing periodic inspections and state analyses.During the rehabilitation of the hydroelectric generating sets, non-destructive tests were performed on all components and structures in order to complete state analysis. In this paper the damages and methodology of repair welding for damaged glasses, which are the integral part of the kinematic system of runner blades, are presented.

The performance characteristics of supercavitating flapped foils in cascade, (such as the lift coefficient, the drag-lift ratio, and the limiting inlet flow speed) are calculated, for various cascade arrangements and flap angles, as well as flap-chord ratios, e. The extreme case when e = 1.0 corresponds simply to adjusting the cascade angle, such as in the Kaplan-turbine runner. It is found that the poor supercavitating cascade performance characteristics at conditions other than the designed condition, that is, the off-design performance characteristics, are noticeably improved with the use of flapped foils. The characteristics of cascaded foils without flaps, especially where there are no adjustments in cascade angle, make their use impractical in the off-design condition.
