Cavitation by spall fracture of solid walls in liquids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Experiments are carried out to investigate the cavitation process induced by the spill-off from material from a surface in a liquid environment. Therefore, a simplified physical model was designed which allows the optical observation of the process next ...

A new methodology for hydro-abrasive erosion tests simulating penstock erosive flow

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2016
Hydro-abrasive resistance is an important property requirement for hydroelectric power plant penstock coating systems used by EDF. The selection of durable coating systems requires an experimental characterization of coating performance. This can be achieved by performing accelerated and representative laboratory tests.

Hydro-abrasive erosion: Problems and solutions

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2014
The number of hydro power plants with hydro-abrasive erosion is increasing worldwide. An overall approach is needed to minimize the impact of this phenomenon. Already at the start of the planning phase an evaluation should be done to quantify the erosion and the impact on the operation.

Analysis of the erosive effect of different dietary substances and medications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Excessive consumption of acidic drinks and foods contributes to tooth erosion. The aims of the present in vitro study were twofold: (1) to assess the erosive potential of different dietary substances and medications; (2) to determine the chemical ...

On the influence of geometrical parameters and erosive wear on the dynamic behaviour of Pelton turbine runners

open access: yesResults in Engineering
Hydro-abrasive erosion and material fatigue are amongst the main challenges for Pelton turbines. Erosive wear caused by sediment-laden water, significantly impacts turbine efficiency, time between overhaul and service life.
