Abstract: Bladeless or Tesla turbines consist of several flat parallel disks mounted on a shaft with a narrow gap between them. The analytical solution of Navier–Stokes equations for the flow between disks has been extensively studied ...

Abstract: Multidisk bladeless turbines, also known as Tesla turbines, are promising in the field of small-scale power generation and energy harvesting due to their low sensitivity to down-scaling effects, retaining high rotor ...

Abstract: Interests in small-scale turbomachinery are gaining momentum, particularly around waste heat recovery using Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), energy harvesting, pico-hydro, refrigeration and heat pumps and small-scale power ...

Abstract: This study aims to investigate the reversible operation of a bladeless air expander prototype operated reversibly in compressor mode to understand the performance by numerical method and compare its results experimentally. ...
