Abstract: Several small cryogenic pumps for a liquid rocket engine have been made and tested. These pumps have a small impeller and are characterized by high speed and high head. The main design ...

Abstract: The fundamental characteristics of the two-dimensional cavitating flow of liquid helium through a horizontal converging-diverging nozzle near the lambda point are numerically investigated to realize ...

Abstract: The thermodynamic effect on cryogenic cavitating flow characteristics of pressurized liquid nitrogen in a horizontal rectangular nozzle is precisely investigated by numerical analysis based on an ...

Abstract: The two-dimensional characteristics of the vapor-liquid two-phase flow of liquid helium in a pipe are numerically investigated to realize the further development and high performance of new ...

Abstract: A new method is proposed for the stability analysis of cavitating flow. In combination with the singularity method, a closed cavity model is employed allowing the cavity length freely to ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional linear analysis of rotating cavitation is carried out using an annular cascade model. The purpose is to investigate three-dimensional effects of cavitation, including the radial ...

Abstract: To develop the prototype vibration pumping device for an artificial heart (Hashimoto et al., 1994, ASME J. Fluids Eng., 116 , pp. 741–745), the flow patterns in the casing were analyzed ...
