Abstract: The effects of inlet distortion on the inducer stall in a centrifugal compressor are investigated. Cases of both radial and circumferential distortion are investigated. It is shown that the ...

Abstract: The authors are grateful for the comments on this paper and are encouraged that the discusser agrees that the dimple phenomena are generated by the temperature-viscosity effect.

Abstract: Behavior of uniform shear flow in rectangular parallel-walled diffusers and its effects on the diffuser performance were investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Velocity and static ...

Abstract: The present paper concerns itself with the effects of total pressure (and thus velocity) distortion on performance characteristics and surge margin of centrifugal compressors. Both radial and ...

Abstract: To investigate the effects of Coriolis force on two-dimensional laminar and turbulent boundary layers, quantitative experiments were performed. A numerical evaluation was also carried out utilizing ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the interaction between the flow unsteadiness and disk vibration of shrouded corotating disk system to identify the nature of the flow-induced vibration of disks in the ...

Abstract: The effects of thermal conductivity and kinematics of contacting surfaces and viscosity-pressure coefficient on the film thickness in an elliptical contact under pure sliding conditions in which ...
