Spiral case design for fountain turbine Katovice.
Čípa, Jiří ; Veselý, Jindřich (referee) ; Haluza, Miloslav (advisor)
The diploma thesis should identify inconsistencies of the small hydraulic power plant Katovice. The fountain water turbine is now running in slower delivery because the original Francis high speed turbine achieved much smaller flow than a Kaplan type turbine. The aim of the thesis is a project of a spiral case and a distributor for the Kaplan turbine, which should work in higher flow and should be run in its optimum. This project will serve as a base for construction of distributor and spiral case for the small hydraulic power plant Katovice.

Analysis of the Velocity and Pressure Fields of the Liquid Using Curvilinear Coordinates
Stejskal, Jiří ; Kozubková, Milada (referee) ; Kučera,, Radek (referee) ; Veselý, Jindřich (referee) ; Pochylý, František (advisor)
This work introduces a new method of hydraulic design of a centrifugal pump impeller. This method is based on a geometrical approach employing curvilinear coordinates that are used to formulate both the axisymmetrical flow model in a meridional shape and the final model of flow in a blade cascade taking into account the full 3D shape of the impeller blade. The solution to this model then directly provides the guidelines for shaping the impeller blade in order to suppress the secondary flows, thus increasing the impeller efficiency, which is demonstrated on a real impeller design case. The partial differential equations describing the flow in the blade cascade are numerically solved piecewise on each particular stream surface, which leads to a significant reduction of computational time.

Improving of hydraulic properties of swirl turbines
Kůrečka, Jan ; Veselý, Jindřich (referee) ; Haluza, Miloslav (advisor)
This diploma thesis describes design of blade geometry of swirl turbines with different blade row density for given parameters Q11 = 1,9 [m3s-1], n11 = 170 [min-1], H=2,5 m, and =0,8. Goal is to found out differences between designs with high count of runner blades and design with fewer blades. Comparison of computed characteristics of three, seven and nine bladed runners is given.

High Speed Turbine with Non-Uniform Cascade
Stareček, Jakub ; Drábková, Sylva (referee) ; Veselý, Jindřich (referee) ; Haluza, Miloslav (advisor)
This doctoral thesis is focused on hydraulic design of axial turbine by CFD and FEM analyses. The results are runners with nonuniform cascades. Nonuniform runners consist of blades with different axial positions, blades with different pitch angles in runner or indifferent blades. Each runner is designed with respect to 3D printing by FDM or SLS technology and hydraulic measuring. The analyses of the excitation frequencies, modal analysis, shape of the turbine operating range, maximal efficiency, output parameters and cavitation properties are emphasized.

Modification of pump for turbine regime
Jahn, Jan ; Veselý, Jindřich (referee) ; Haluza, Miloslav (advisor)
Hydraulic design of a hydrodynamic machine is designed to achieve a high value of energy transformation efficiency. Pumps and turbines have some different typical features in hydraulic design. With the aid of computational fluid dynamics, adjustments of the hydraulic parts of a standard centrifugal pump are assessed with the aim to increase hydraulic efficiency of the pump running as turbine. The impeller, volute casing and added draft tube are discussed.

The design of Pelton turbine for given parameters
Pavlíček, Tomáš ; Veselý, Jindřich (referee) ; Haluza, Miloslav (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to create a project of a small Pelton’s turbine for laboratory use, focusing on the design of nozzle and blade. Designing these two parts included beam measuring, calculating the losses in the piping and finding the working point of the pump. In its first part this thesis reviews the history, the operating principle and the main parts of the Pelton’s turbine. The next part includes finding the appropriate shape of nozzle and measuring the beam, followed by the calculation of lossy coefficient and efficiency of the nozzle from the measured values. The third part is dedicated to calculation of losses in the piping and finding the working point of the pump. In the last part, blade is designed.

FLow in cracs
Ocásek, Adam ; Veselý, Jindřich (referee) ; Haluza, Miloslav (advisor)
This Master’s thesis investigates the flow in sealing gaps of impeller within pumps and turbines. Sealing gaps are installed to improve the volumetric efficiency in this type of fluid machinery. Despite present extensive research this subject has not been entirely documented and the thesis’ aim is to improve our knowledge in this matter. At the beginning, the practical experiment is used in order to establish appropriate numerical description of flow in seals and to calibrate software FLUENT. In chapter five, the thesis analyses the influence of seal design on volumetric efficiency of pumps and turbines and defines its optimal construction to improve the efficiency. The thesis then examines the effect of rotor eccentricity on flow properties, flow rate and pressure distribution within the sealing gap. In the last section, through chapters six to eight, the flow results provided by numerical solution in FLUENT and selected analytical equations, or their modified forms, are being discussed. The degree of correspondence between the results is also studied.

Hydraulic properties of siphon and direct flow swirl turbine
Hudec, Martin ; Šulc, Jan (referee) ; Veselý, Jindřich (referee) ; Habán, Vladimír (advisor)
Non-stationary processes are associated with the operation of water machines. They are important for their reliable and safe operation. Prediction and modeling of such states using a 1D mathematical model verified on a model in the laboratory is an advantage. The work is focused on the description of a pair of transient states that are related to siphon turbines and their operation. Determination of critical flow values for inducing a suction effect and, conversely, calculation of the minimum size of the flow coefficient for safe stopping. The experiments were performed on a laboratory model and compared with operational data from a small hydroelectric power plant Želina.

The diagonal pump in turbine regime
Šimunek, Ondřej ; Veselý, Jindřich (referee) ; Haluza, Miloslav (advisor)
The thesis is focused on hydraulic design of a semi-axial pump with an axial diffusor with guide vane. The pump is designed with respect to the turbine mode so that it can be used for low-potential energy harvesting or energy storage. The design of the pump is assessed by numerical fluid mechanics using commercial software Ansys CFX.
