Flow-induced pulsation and vibration in hydroelectric machinery : engineer's guidebook for planning, design and troubleshooting / by Peter Dorfler, Mirjam Sick, Andre Coutu. - London : Springer, 2013. - xxiv, 242 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

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.
