Abstract: When a liquid is forced to flow radially outward in the gap between two coaxial, parallel annular disks—one rotating and one stationary—the liquid occupies the entire gap until the speed of the rotating disk reaches a ...

Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been unable to reliably predict aeration and drag torque in clutches. In this study, a CFD method was developed to reliably predict the onset of aeration and drag torque as a function ...
