Abstract: The flow field was measured near the inlet and the outlet of an axial flow inducer with shrouded and unshrouded configurations combined with a centrifugal pump. Investigations were conducted ...

Abstract: Incorporating a backflow recirculator is a way to reduce part load instabilities of inducers. Experimental results demonstrate that two devices with simple geometry considerably soften pressure ...

Abstract: Flooding rivers usually present transition reaches where the floodplain width can significantly vary. The present study focuses on an abrupt floodplain contraction (mean angle 22°) in order to determine whether one-dimensional ...

Abstract: Common inlet design for compound-channel flumes does not ensure a proper upstream discharge distribution. As the total head in the upstream tank is the same for both main-channel and floodplain subsections, the velocity ...
