This book gathers a collection of extended papers based on presentations given during the SimHydro 2017 conference, held in Sophia Antipolis, Nice, France on June 14–16, 2017. It focuses on how to choose the right model in applied hydraulics and considers various aspects, including the modeling and simulation of fast hydraulic transients, 3D modeling, uncertainties and multiphase flows. The book explores both limitations and performance of current models and presents the latest developments in new numerical schemes, high-performance computing, multiphysics and multiscale methods, and better interaction with field or scale model data. It gathers the lastest theoretical and innovative developments in the modeling field and presents some of the most advance applications on various water related topics like uncertainties, flood simulation and complex hydraulic applications. Given its breadth of coverage, it addresses the needs and interests of practitioners, stakeholders, researchers and engineers alike.

This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue "Advanced Energy Storage Technologies and Their Applications (AESA)" that was published in Energies

Hydrodynamics of Pumps is a reference for pump experts and a textbook for advanced students. It examines the fluid dynamics of liquid turbomachines, particularly pumps, focusing on special problems and design issues associated with the flow of liquid through a rotating machine. There are two characteristics of a liquid that lead to problems and cause a significantly different set of concerns than those in gas turbines. These are the potential for cavitation and the high density of liquids, which enhances the possibility of damaging, unsteady flows and forces. The book begins with an introduction to the subject, including cavitation, unsteady flows and turbomachinery, basic pump design and performance principles. Chapter topics include flow features, cavitation parameters and inception, bubble dynamics, cavitation effects on pump performance, and unsteady flows and vibration in pumps - discussed in the three final chapters. The book is richly illustrated and includes many practical examples.

Hydraulic machinery such as turbines and pumps are widely used. Topics dealing with its design, manufacture, use and maintenance are covered in this symposium.Topics covered in this volume include: analysis and design of hydraulic turbines and pumps; computational hydraulics and numerical simulation; experimental methods for hydraulic machinery studies; cavitation in hydraulic pressurized systems and components; fluid-structure interaction; hydraulic transients and control / expert systems; monitoring and predictive maintenance; monitoring and predictive maintenance; environmental consideration in turbine design and operation; oscillatory and vibration problems in power plants and pumping stations; practical applications of hydraulic machinery / innovative technology to small and large hydroelectric power plants and pumping stations; case studies including trouble shooting in hydraulic machinery systems.This volume consist of papers presented by researchers, academics, designers, manufacturers, managers, and engineers. It is an important reference for investigators who are interested in the latest innovations on Hydraulic machinery.
