Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

The objective of the hydraulic machine manufacturers for the EUREKA project HYDRODYNA is to breakthrough the existing technological gap for mastering the unsteady Hydrodynamics of pumps, turbine and pump-turbines. These objectives will be reached by investigating both experimentally and theoretically the rotor-stator interactions and the fluid-structure coupling in a case of an industrial reduced scale pump-turbine. The results of the investigation will be new physical models and simulation tools for analysis such a machine. The results of the project will help the industrial partners of the project to extend the operating range and to increase the availability and the maintainability of these type machines, which are key components for hydro power generation
