Tubular turbine is a type of turbine with low-head. Due to the fact that the runner of a tubular turbine is of axial-flow type, there will be a certain width of blade tip between the blade and the chamber. In order to explore the influence of tip clearan...

The instability of the no-load working condition of the pump turbine directly affects the grid connection of the unit, and will cause vibration and damage to the components of the unit in severe cases. In this paper, a three-dimensional full flow numeric...
