Abstract
The operation of Francis turbines at off-design conditions may cause the development of a cavitation vortex rope in the draft tube cone, acting as a pressure excitation source. The interactions between this excitation source and the hydraulic system at the natural frequency may result in resonance phenomena, causing serious hydro-mechanical oscillations. One-dimensional draft tube models for the simulation and prediction of part load resonances require an accurate modelling of the wave speed and the bulk viscosity for the draft tube flow. This paper introduces a new methodology for determining these two hydroacoustic parameters in the draft tube of a reduced scale physical model of a Francis turbine, based on experimental identification of the hydraulic natural frequency of the test rig. Finally, dimensionless numbers are derived to define both the wave speed and bulk viscosity for different operating points of the turbine.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
