Abstract: This paper describes a study of the suitability of various loss models for axial turbines as assessed with a streamline curvature computing scheme for the meridional flow involved. The important ...

Abstract: Performance enhancement of three-dimensional S-duct diffusers by secondary flow and separation control using vortex generator jets is the objective of the current experimental investigation. Two ...

Abstract: In this paper, results are presented of an experimental investigation into the effectiveness of vortex generator jets in controlling secondary flows in two-dimensional S-duct diffusers. The ...

Abstract: The present experimental investigations are concerned with diffusers employing the concept of vortex control to achieve high pressure recovery in a short length. Two types of two-dimensional ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was undertaken to study the effect of various fences and vortex generator configurations in reducing the exit flow distortion and improving total pressure recovery ...
