Flow-induced Pulsation and Vibration in Hydroelectric Machinery is a comprehensive guidebook that explains the various physical mechanisms and their effects in hydroelectric power plants. It provides a link between state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) computation and practical problems, and quantitative data on normal vibration and pulsation levels. The book also discusses the possibilities and limitations of reduced-scale model tests for prototype performance prediction.
