In this paper, we introduce a novel passive control method to mitigate the unsteadiness effects associated to the swirling flows with self-induced instabilities. The control method involves a progressive throttling cross-section flow at the outlet of the conical diffuser. It adjusts the cross-section area with a diaphragm while maintaining all positions of the circular shape centered on the axis. It improves the pressure recovery on the cone wall while the pressure fluctuations associated with the self-induced instability are mitigated as it adjusts the cross-section area. It can adjust the diaphragm in correlation with the operating conditions of the turbine. We investigated the passive control method on a swirl generator, which provides a similar flow as a hydraulic turbine operated at a partial discharge. The plunging and rotating components are discriminated using the pressure fluctuation on the cone wall to provide a clear view of the effects induced by this passive control method. As a result, the novel proof of concept examined in this paper offers valuable benefits as it fulfils a good balance between the dynamical behavior and the hydraulic losses. |
