Abstract: A relationship between the global variables and the dynamic flow structure numerically obtained for a low specific speed centrifugal pump is presented in this paper. A previously developed ...

Abstract: Crossed hot wire probes are widely used for measuring two-dimensional flows. Many applications in fluid mechanics like turbomachinery require an angular range as large as possible and a reasonable ...

Abstract: This paper shows the capability of a numerical simulation in capturing the dynamic and unsteady flow effects inside a centrifugal pump due to the impeller-volute interaction. The object of the ...

Abstract: Experimental and numerical studies are presented on the steady and unsteady radial forces produced in a single volute vaneless centrifugal pump. Experimentally, the unsteady pressure distributions ...

Abstract: In this paper, an aeroacoustic study on a forward-curved blades centrifugal fan has been carried out. As a first step, the fan performance curves, i.e., total pressure, power, efficiency and ...

Abstract: This paper is conceived as an extension in the analysis of the periodic stator-rotor interaction in a low-speed axial fan with inlet guide vanes. Here, the present work focuses on the ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental investigation of the flow at two exit radial locations of a forward-curved blades centrifugal fan are presented. Hot wire techniques were used to obtain steady ...

Abstract: This work deals with a numerical simulation developed to predict the characteristic cooling times of a low-thermal diffusivity fuel oil confined in the tanks of a wrecked ship. A typical ...

Abstract: In this work, a numerical model has been applied in order to obtain the wall pressure fluctuations at the volute of an industrial centrifugal fan. The numerical results have been compared to ...

Abstract: The present study is focused on the analysis of the dynamic and periodic interaction between both fixed and rotating blade rows in a single stage, low-speed axial fan with inlet guide vanes. ...
