Abstract: The flow through turbopumps is characterized by highly unsteady phenomena at part load conditions, involving large separation and generation of vortical structures. This behavior is strongly dependent on the interaction ...

Abstract: Turbopumps operating at reduced flow rates experience significant separation and backflow phenomena. Although ReynoldsAveraged Navier–Stokes (RANS) approaches proved to be usually able to capture the main flow features ...

Abstract: Immersed boundary methods coupled with adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) are a powerful tool to solve complex viscous incompressible flow problems, especially in the presence of moving and deforming boundaries. Immersed ...
