3D CFD Simulation of Phase Resonance in a Pump Turbine with an Acoustic Model

In order to understand the complex nature of the system dynamic phenomena, such as the strong vibration and noise caused by blade passage in the pump turbine, a state-of-the-art three-dimensional (3D) compressible transient simulation would be desirable to study the problem in depth. This study inve...
