Chirag Trivedi is leading the all activities related to RP1.2 project in NTNU and Waterpower laboratory. Chirag Trivedi has more than 15 years of experience on Francis turbine and reversible pump-turbines. In addition coordinating the activities and supervising the students, he is also involved in both numerical and experimental work as well as developing the test rig for this project.

Francesco Albicini is a PhD candidate working full-time in this research project from March 2025. Francesco is aimed to study unsteady blade loading during the intermittent operations of the Francis turbine in the laboratory. He will study unsteady pressure loading, strain and stress on the turbine blades. Finally, he will use this data to develop rainflow counting algorithm for the intermittent operations to estimate the fatigue damage on the blades and potential inception of crack on the blades.

Anker Moi Pedersen is writing master thesis on transient operation of Francis turbine. Anker started master thesis in January 2025, and he will focus on numerical simulations with dynamic mesh. Anker aims to move the guide vanes from no-load position to the part-load position of the Francis-99 turbine in the Waterpower laboratory. Anker investigate the unsteady flow conditions in the vaneless space that will enable experimental investigations using PIV later.
