Influence of Weak Compressibility on the Hydrodynamic Performance Evaluation of Pump Turbines in the Pump Mode

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2022
In general, weak compressibility is one of the properties of liquids. That is, in actual operation of hydraulic machinery, the flow is weakly compressible.
