RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
- Hydraulic design of all types of hydraulic machines; guarantees of hydraulic parameters are provided on basis of physical model testing in hydraulic laboratory or CFD analyses only
- Design and optimization of hydraulic machine geometry of water passages to ensure good hydraulic parameters of new or upgraded hydraulic machines
- Using mathematical optimization especially for runner/impeller hydraulic design.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
- Up-to-date CFX and Fluent software is applied for numerical flow modeling through water passages of hydraulic machines
- Flow analysis in components of original hydraulic machines and possibilities of their improvement
- Prediction of hydraulic losses in individual components and evaluation of the overall hydraulic machine efficiency
- Evaluation of hydraulic machine cavitation characteristics by two phase flow modeling
- Simulation and evaluation of hydraulic machine dynamic behavior
- Estimation of hydraulic loads on individual components of hydraulic machines
Finite element method (FEM)
- Main components of hydraulic machines are analyzed by FEM using ANSYS WorkBench software
- Preliminary FEM analysis (stress, modal, etc) is an integral part of hydraulic design
