Title: Analyzing hydraulic transients

Journal Article · · Hydro Review
OSTI ID:229952

The operational mode of a hydroturbine determines hydraulic pressures and flows. The more starts and stops the turbine makes, the more pressure changes will occur. The faster the flow changes, the greater their magnitude. Analyses of hydraulic transients-known as waterhammer-should be part of preliminary engineering studies of any proposed hydro project that will operate as a peaking plant.
