The paper deals with the numerical simulation of the flow in the Francis-99 hydraulic turbine at three different problem formulations, namely, the application of the method of rotating coordinate system, sliding mesh model, and consideration of a compressible fluid. The pulsations intensity and pressure pulsation spectra obtained by numerical simulation and experimentally are compared. It is shown that the simulation of a problem considering compressible fluid, and that conducted by the sliding mesh method gives significantly greater pressure amplitudes. It is also shown that the precessing vortex core is a source of pressure waves in the entire turbine flow path.
