Abstract: A numerical model is developed to analyze the influence of thermal deformations on the performance of a radially grooved thrust washer. The analysis couples the flow phenomena (including cavitation) ...

Abstract: Steady flow of an incompressible, Newtonian fluid through a symmetric bifurcated rigid channel was numerically analyzed by solving the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The upstream Reynolds ...

Abstract: A detailed investigation of the flow physics occurring on the suction side of a simulated low pressure turbine (LPT) blade was performed. A contoured upper wall was designed to simulate the ...

Abstract: Flow visualization with smoke particles illuminated by a laser sheet was used to obtain a qualitative description of the air flow structures through a dynamically similar 7.5× symmetric ...
