Adaptation of the water mill
Dobšáková, Lenka ; Uttendorfský, Petr (referee) ; Hudec, Martin (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis is about adaptation of the water mill Cacovice. The first part is a description of the history of water mills and mill history in Cacovice. The second part deals with small hydroelectric power station, their functions and distribution. The third part describes the technical part of the small hydroelectric power station Cacovice and the fourth part is a proposal for a new Kaplan turbine, which could replace the existing Francis turbine.

Cavitation testing using cavitating jet
Rovder, Juraj ; Dobšáková, Lenka (referee) ; Rudolf, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis deals with the issue of cavitation and its effects. In this context, it describes the mechanism of origin and implosion of cavities and cavitation regimes. It lists various types of hydrodynamic cavitation. It presents the Rayleight-Plesset equation and describes micro jet. It also highlights cavitation erosion and the effects of cavitation on some types of materials. It deals with three types of cavitation resistance testing, namely cavitation tunnels, a vibrating cavitation system, supported by the ASTM G32 standard, and last but not least, cavitation nozzles, which follow the ASTM G134-17 standard. In correlation with cavitation nozzles, it frames its four basic parameters, which are stand of distance, the cavitation number, the speed of sound and the geometry of the nozzle. At the end of the theoretical part it characterizes the construction of test bench. The practical part is focused on performing the experiment. It first presents the procedure for carrying out the experiment and then evaluates this experiment. Part of the evaluation is the visual observation of selected samples of AlCu4Mg1Mn1 material and the monitoring of cavitation erosion on specific samples. First, these data are processed in the form of graphs and tables. It uses a microscope as a tool for detailed observation of samples. The conclusion of the practical part is devoted to the evaluation of the experiment.

The tooth pump in the turbine regime
Tyburec, Adam ; Dobšáková, Lenka (referee) ; Haluza, Miloslav (advisor)
The objective of this diploma study is to develop and secure production of gear turbine with very low specific speed in comparison with conventional turbines. The first part of the work deals with already performed research of similar hydrostatic turbines. It is followed by construction design, including complete drawing documentation. The production of the prototype is secured by an external company. Finally, an experimental measurement of the characteristics of the designed turbine is performed in the laboratories of Fluid Engineering.

The Pump with a Diffuser with Stochastic Blades (Runner and Diffuser)
Dobšáková, Lenka ; Melichar, Jan (referee) ; Veselý, Jindřich (referee) ; Haluza, Miloslav (advisor)
This doctoral thesis studies the non-uniform blade cascade for centrifugal pumps. Influence of non-uniform blade cascade is investigated on the impeller and diffuser. A non-uniform blading impeller of pumps in this doctoral thesis was examined in terms of influence on efficiency characteristic. The idea of using non-uniform blading is to obtain a flat efficiency characteristic. Then the centrifugal pump could be used on larger scale of power with achieving a sufficiently high efficiency. The work is based on experimental measurements and numerical simulations of non-uniform hydraulic pump components. Non-uniform impeller and the diffuser were newly designed for this research. A new measuring track of small submersible pumps was needed to design and build for measurements. Different pump combinations with conventional hydraulics on one working point and hydraulics with non-uniform were measured. All measurements were evaluated and characteristics of efficiency, head and power were obtained for each measured combination. Some of pump combinations (which were measured in experiment) were numerically simulated by program Ansys Fluent. Data needed to evaluate the characteristic of efficiency and specific energy were collected from each numerical simulation. A theoretical consideration concerns the influence of non-uniform blade cascade applied on diffuser. The suggestion how to decrease hydraulic losses in canals was done. The theoretical consideration how to make a flat efficiency characteristic was made.

Influence of the impeller eye on the stability of Q -Y curve
Broža, Martin ; Dobšáková, Lenka (referee) ; Haluza, Miloslav (advisor)
The master thesis is focused on the examination of the influence of the impeller eye on the stability of Q-Y curves. It is the examination of the impact of a large inlet angle of the blade and the extension of the inlet part, which also supports good cavitation capabilities. Another consideration is the influence of the rotating fluid before the impeller, influence of the circumferential component of the absolute velocity at the inlet part. The proposed modification will be subject to simulation in ANSYS.

The design of swirl turbine for the concrete locality for ČEZ
Šebela, Radek ; Dobšáková, Lenka (referee) ; Haluza, Miloslav (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design of water turbine enabling optimal utilization of hydro-energetic potential of given location (barrage on Úpa river) chosen by ČEZ a.s. company. Moreover, the option of multi-unit layout is discussed. Because of the low-head profile of given location, the technology of swirl turbine in siphon configuration was chosen. Technology of swirl turbine presents new modification of Kaplan turbine with no need of guide vane. Swirl turbine is characterized by its high discharge and high speed. The main part of this thesis is focused on hydraulic design of the turbine.
