How oblique trailing edge of a hydrofoil reduces the vortex-induced vibration

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Ausoni, Amirreza Zobeiri

The effect of hydrofoil trailing edge shape on the wake dynamic and flow induced vibration is investigated at high Reynolds number, Re = 0.5 x 10(6)-2.9 x 10(6). Two NACA 0009 hydrofoils with blunt and oblique trailing edges are tested. The velocity field ...

Fluid-structure coupling for an oscillating hydrofoil

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Ausoni, Olivier Braun, Cécile Münch-Alligné

Fluid-structure investigations in hydraulic machines using coupled simulations are particularly time-consuming. In this study, an alternative method is presented that linearizes the hydrodynamic load of a rigid, oscillating hydrofoil. The hydrofoil, which ...

Turbulent vortex shedding from a blunt trailing edge hydrofoil

Philippe Ausoni

Placed in a fluid stream, solid bodies can exhibit a separated flow that extends to their wake. The detachment of the boundary layer on both upper and lower surfaces forms two shear layers which generate above a critical value of Reynolds number a periodic ...

Vortex shedding from blunt and oblique trailing edge hydrofoils

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Ausoni, Amirreza Zobeiri

The phenomenon of vortex shedding behind a hydrofoil is an important issue from both scientific and technical point of view. The resulting fluctuating forces may lead to excessive vibrations and premature cracks in the hydraulic machines. According to prev ...

Hydro Elastic Behavior of Vibrating Blades

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Ausoni, Olivier Braun, Cécile Münch-Alligné

Fluid-structure investigations in hydraulic machines using coupled simulations are extremely time-consuming; therefore we develop an alternative method. In this paper, a model is proposed to predict fluid-structure coupling by linearizing the hydrodynamic ...

Unsteady CFD Prediction of von Kármán Vortex Shedding in Hydraulic Turbine Stay Vanes

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Ausoni

All hydraulic turbines containing a casing with stay vanes face the potential dynamic problem of stay vane von Kármán vortex shedding. For hydraulic efficiency purposes the stay vanes tend to be relatively slender in the direction normal to the flow thus b ...

Hydrofoil Roughness Effects on von Kármán Vortex Shedding

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Ausoni

The shedding process of the von Kármán vortices is shown to be highly related to the state of the boundary layer over the entire hydrofoil: The selected hydrofoil has a laminar-turbulent boundary layer transition at mid-chord for an incidence angle of 0° a ...
