An appropriate procedure is proposed for stability of operation tests to be performed along with standard model tests. The elaboration and presentation of oscillatory data is discussed.Evaluation from Model Tests for a Prediction of the Stability of Operation of Francis Turbinestext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
