The Francis-99 Workshop 2 provides experimental data from the transient operation of a hydraulic turbine, including load variation from design to high and part load. Data includes pressure measurements at selected turbine locations and velocity measurements in the draft tube using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) at two sections, Line 1 and Line 2. The dataset, authored by Chirag Trivedi and hosted by DataverseNO, is intended for validating numerical models in hydropower research.
Use Cases
- Validate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models of turbine transient operation based on the provided pressure and velocity data.
- Analyze flow patterns and pressure fluctuations during load variation from design to high and part load conditions.
- Benchmark simulation results against experimental PIV velocity measurements taken in the draft tube at two sections.
Strengths
- Data is part of a dedicated workshop series (Francis-99) aimed at providing high-quality experimental data for computational validation.
- Includes both pressure measurements at selected turbine locations and detailed velocity measurements using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV).
- Detailed supporting information, including a report on numerical models, boundary conditions, and mesh, is referenced as available.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
