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: A study is presented on the fluid-dynamic pulsations and the corresponding dynamic forces generated in a centrifugal pump with single suction and vaneless volute due to blade-volute interaction. ...

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: This paper analyzes the operative characteristics of a three-hole cobra type probe especially designed to attain an angular range higher than 180deg for planar turbulent flows. A new calibration ...

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 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. ...

Abstract: The flow in a double suction centrifugal pump is presented in this paper. The static performance of the machine has been obtained in a proper test rig, and the results have been compared ...

Abstract: This paper analyzes the structure of turbulence and secondary flows at the exit of an axial flow fan with variable pitch blades. The influence of changing the blades’ pitch angle over the ...
