Abstract :
The flow in the Francis turbines draft tube cone operate at partial discharge is a complex hydrodynamic phenomenon. And has special attention because unacceptable source and resulting pressure pulsation, power fluctuation and putting the plant at risk 4. The head and discharge values are two main factors that affects vortex structure and the performance of the draft tube then hydraulic system6 . This paper presents the part load operation conditions in the draft tube cone at three deferent heads (cases) in M. D. Hydro power plant. The study is undertaken for operating conditions parameters corresponding to high part load 0.9QBEP to low part load 0.5 QBEP. The discharge coefficients is used to predict specific speed and swirl number, The minimum swirl number is 0.11 at BEP case (A) and maximum is 1.05 at 0.5 QBEP when the head 33 m case(c). It is shown that the rise in the pressure pulsation due to swirl increase.
