简介:
About the author Prof. Shengcai Li, Warwick University, UK. Prof Li started his career as a research engineer in later 1960’s at the Ministry of Water Resources and Electricity, China, where he developed the novel concept of double-row cascade runner for high performance hydraulic turbines which was tested with successful results by Prof Wu Xin-Run (吴新润) at the Yun-Feng (云峰)power station in 1965 much earlier than the similar runner developed by the Norwegian company ‘Kvaerner’ for the Lu-Bu-Ge (鲁布革) power station in 1980’s. He also jointly with Prof Kong Zhao-Nian (孔照年) et’ al developed the first generation of semi-conductor dual-control governor BDT-100 for Kaplan turbines with the prototype working trouble-free for 40 years at the Lu Shui (陆水) power station until recent for upgrading. Since later 70’s he guided his research into fundamental phenomena of cavitation, discovering a phenomenon named as Cavitation Resonance while he was among the first group of Chinese scientists working at the University of Michigan in USA. He also established a hydraulic turbine lab for cavitation research in China and a novel cavitation tunnel at the Warwick University. He has substantial experience working with industry, solving cavitation problems for world-class projects such as the Europe’s largest pump-storage power station ‘Dinorwig’ (UK) and currently the Three Gorge Power Station (China). He is now leading a cavitation research group at Warwick working on: · Markov model for bubble stochastic behaviour near boundary-walls; · Synergistic model of cavitation enhancement on silt-erosion; · Mechanism of a new type of cavitation identified by him from the Three Gorges turbines; · Micro mechanism of cavitation resonance; · Cavitation for medical & bioengineering use, such as human stone crushing and drug/gene delivery for difficult diseases (cancers and cardiovascular illnesses etc). He is a founding member of the International Editorial Committee for the Book Series on Hydraulic Machinery, and the Series Editor. He has authored two books on cavitation. He is also the lead organiser for a triennial international cavitation conference ‘WIMRC CAVITATION FORUM’. http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/wimrc/news/cavitation/
