Flow-Induced Instabilities of Reversible Pump Turbines (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783031180569)

Xianghao Zheng received his doctor's degree from North China Electric Power University in June 2022. He has mainly focused his research interests in the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of the prototype reversible pump turbine in the pumped hydro energy storage power station. He has published 7 journal papers in these fields, which investigated the flow-induced pressure fluctuation and vibration in the reversible pump turbine.

Yuning Zhang is currently a professor in North China Electric Power University. He has published over 50 journal papers as leading author or corresponding author (10 highly cited papers and 1 hot paper). His primary expertise is hydroturbines. He also serves as Chairman of International Cavitation Forum 2016, an Associate Editor of IET Renewable Power Generation, member of organizing committee of WIMRC International Symposium of Cavitation (UK) and many other international conferences. He severs as a regular reviewer of several high-profile international journals. He has given six invited talks on international conferences. He has received many awards from University of Warwick, China Scholarship Council, Chinese Academy of Science and Tsinghua University.

Yuning Zhang is currently an associate professor in China University of Petroleum-Beijing. She has mainly focused her research interests on cavitation in fluid machinery and the bubble dynamics in liquid. She has published 18 journal papers in these fields, which analysed the nonlinear oscillations of bubbles and investigated the mechanisms of the synergetic effects between particle abrasion and cavitation erosion in hydraulic machinery.
