Abstract: A hydrodynamic model is considered for estimating the angle to be subtended by the spiral portion of high specific speed axial flow water turbine casings. The results are correlated with the ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of investigations of unsteady incompressible flow past three-dimensional cavities, where there is a complex interaction between the external flow and the recirculating ...

Abstract: Experimental investigations on the effect of inlet turbulence and flow distortion on the performance of a monoplane and a biplane Wells turbine are reported. The performance of biplane Wells ...

Abstract: Data from Wells turbine tests are correlated with two-dimensional aerofoil data. The correlations show that the performance of the Wells turbine can be predicted from wind-tunnel data of aerofoils.

Abstract: Wave energy can be captured and converted to a vertical pistonlike oscillatory motion by semiinsertion of a chamber with a submerged opening into the ocean. The roof of the chamber will open onto a ducted Wells air turbine, ...

Abstract: The work demonstrates the benefits of using digital methods for the development and optimization of large assembly manufacturing networks. Although an aircraft assembly has been used for this ...
