Part 2 of this work presents a numerical methodology, validated using the experimental results presented in Part 1, to calculate the added modal coefficients of a submerged cylinder in water both when it oscillates and when it rotates with a whirling motion. The numerical methodology is based on computational fluid dynamic simulations that obtain the added modal forces on the cylinder when it is forced to vibrate with mode sha...
The operation of submerged rotating machines, such as marine current or tidal turbines, can present deleterious fluid phenomena that may provoke extreme structural vibrations. To predict their dynamic responses, it is necessary to know the added modal coefficients of their runners under a whirling motion. For that purpose, a bespoke test rig was designed to investigate the added modal coefficients of a submerged cylinder, whic...
The tip leakage vortex (TLV) has aroused great concern for turbomachine performance, stability and noise generation as well as cavitation erosion. To better understand structures and dynamics of the TLV, large-eddy simulation (LES) is coupled with a homogeneous cavitation model to simulate the cavitation flow around a NACA0009 hydrofoil with a given clearance. The numerical results are validated by comparisons with experimenta...
