Abstract: Backflow vortices occasionally occur in the annular mixing zone between the main and axially reverse whirling flows from the impeller tip clearance on an axial pump or compressor. A number (N) of tornado-like backflow ...

Abstract: The thermodynamic suppression effect of cavitation arising in a NACA0015 single hydrofoil is experimentally investigated in water at mainstream temperatures of T∞ = 20 °C to 140 °C in the present study. The cavity length ...

Abstract: To enhance worldwide environmental conditions, the air transport industry must drastically reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Electrification of aircraft propulsion systems is one way to meet this demand. In particular, the ...
