Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Hydraulic machinery is a mechanical equipment for the development and utilization of hydraulic energy resources to realize the mutual efficient conversion of hydraulic energy and mechanical energy, involving fluid dynamics, structural dynamics, mechanics, materials science and other multidisciplinary fields. It is based on the energy conversion relationship between water and machinery, and takes the hydraulic characteristics, dynamic characteristics and structural characteristics of pumps, water turbines, pump turbines, valves and other equipment as the main research object, in order to ensure the efficient and stable operation of hydraulic machinery system as the main task, and studies the influence of various factors on the energy characteristics, cavitation characteristics and operation stability of hydraulic machinery.

The research scope covers the design, manufacture, stable operation characteristics and unsteady operation characteristics of hydraulic machinery. The discipline of hydraulic machinery involves a wide range of fields and is related to the sustainable development of energy and ecology:

  • Hydraulic machinery energy-saving and efficient operation technology;
  • Prediction and control of complex flow in energy conversion systems and energy storage systems;
  • Multiphase/Multicomponent Flows in hydraulic machinery;
  • Fluid-structure interaction in hydraulic machinery;
  • Hydraulic machinery system dynamic characteristics, state monitoring and fault diagnosis;
  • Optimization design methods for hydro turbines;
  • Analysis of internal flow loss characteristics in hydraulic machinery.

This study analyzes the transient axial force of a centrifugal pump under variable operating conditions using wavelet analysis and a novel technique called windowed multi-resolution dynamic mode decomposition (wmrDMD). Numerically simulating the sampled time series allows the reconstruction of the impeller’s axial force information, providing validation for this innovative data-driven analysis technique. The comparison between the reconstructed results and the original axial force data demonstrates a remarkable agreement, as all data points exhibit error values below 2.49%. The wmrDMD technique systematically decomposes the impeller’s axial force field into dynamically significant modes across various time scales. Removing the mean flow field in this study resolves the transient motion of the impeller’s axial force, facilitating the identification of positions with high-frequency axial force oscillations and fluctuations in intensity amplitude. The high-frequency axial force of the impeller exhibits stable periodic variations within the operating range of 1.0nr-1.0Qr, whereas the changes are insignificant within the range of 0.4nr-0.4Qr. However, within the operating range of 1.0nr-0.4Qr, both the position and intensity amplitude of the axial force exhibit significant variations without a stable trend. Furthermore, cross-wavelet and wavelet coherence analyses reveal that within the operating range of 0.4nr-0.4Qr, the axial forces on the front and rear cover plates show the strongest correlation at the periodic scale. Within the operating range of 1.0nr-1.0Qr, the next highest correlation is observed, whereas the correlation is lowest within the 1.0nr-0.4Qr operating range. Full article
