However, progress in this field is hampered by the inter­disciplinary nature of the subject, between fluid mechanics, structural mechanics and hydraulic transients. \u003ci\u003eFlow-induced Pulsation and Vibration in Hydroelectric Machinery\u003c\/i\u003e provides a compact guidebook explaining the many different underlying physical mechanisms and their possible effects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTypical phenomena are described to assist in the proper diagnosis of problems and various key strategies for solution are compared and considered with support from practical experience and real-life examples. The link between state-of the-art CFD computation and notorious practical problems is discussed  and quantitative data is provided on  normal levels of vibration and pulsation so realistic limits can be set for future projects. Current projects are also addressed as the possibilities and limitations of reduced-scale model tests for prediction of prototype performance are explained.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngineers and project planners struggling with the practical problems will find \u003ci\u003eFlow-induced Pulsation and Vibration in Hydroelectric Machinery\u003c\/i\u003e to be a comprehensive and convenient  reference covering key topics and ideas across a range of relevant disciplines. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-09-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447157953\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-4252-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 244\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49940196196492,"sku":"9781447157953","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447157953.jpg?v=1779056780","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781447157953","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
