Contract Description
EPFL intends to acquire a complete High Speed Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system for its Hydraulic Machinery Technology Platform (PTMH) of the Associate Vice Presidency for Centers and Platforms (AVP-CP). The equipment is used for state-of-the-art research in the field of fluid dynamics, particularly complex unsteady and transient flow phenomena with applications in hydropower. Considering the needs of EPFL and the specific scientific goals of PTMH, UNFoLD and HEAD, the focus is on the following research areas: Use of high-speed stereo PIV with a controlled positioning system to perform high temporal and spatial resolution measurements of the flow field for: - Unsteady and transient flow phenomena in hydraulic machines, with a particular focus on rapid load changes and transient operating sequences. - Flow stability, instabilities and flow control in complex hydraulic systems. - Vortex dynamics and mechanisms of flow separation, including identification and development of coherent structures. - Cavitation dynamics and their interaction with unsteady flow fields. - Turbulent particle-laden flows, including turbulence-modulating effects of sediments and transport-related erosion processes.
