Influence of the Francis turbine stay vane trailing edge shape on generation of Karman vortex street
Novotný, Vojtěch ; Skoták, Aleš (referee) ; Rudolf, Pavel (advisor)
In the flow past bluff bodies for a certain range of velocity a periodical vortex shedding emerges which is known as von Kármán vortex street. This phenomenon causes the periodical alteration of pressure field which affects the body. Should the vortex shedding frequency be similar to the body natural frequency, the amplitude of vibration significantly increases which can lead to fatigue cracking. In the case of water turbines, this phenomenon often affects the stay vanes. Both the vortex shedding frequency and the lift force amplitude can be influenced by the modification of the trailing edge geometry. The aim of this thesis is to use CFD computation in order to find the optimal geometry of the stay vane trailing edge for the specific Francis turbine unit.

Laboratory Model of the Vortex Speed Indicator
Kazda, Ondřej ; Kolka, Zdeněk (referee) ; Biolková, Viera (advisor)
This work is concerned with posibility of measuring a wind flow by Von Karman vortex sheed structure. The bluff body is situated in the way of air flow propagation and consequentally vortexes will be appeared. Important part of speedmeter design is measurment chamber must allow to vortex sheed propagation. The transient and the reciever are situated vertically to propagation of flow.The Ultrasonic carrier is transmitted and modulated by freqency of vortex sheeding in measurment chamber.Demodulator uses PLL to “focusing“ detection of the ultrasonic beam. This can be indicated like lock and unlock phase loop. From known value of sheed frequency can be directly calculated speed of flow.
