Abstract: This paper studies the effect of the Reynolds number on the performance characteristics of a small regenerative pump. Since regenerative pumps have low specific speeds, they are usually applicable ...

Abstract: It is well-known that nonuniform tip clearance in an axial compressor induces pressure and velocity perturbations along the circumferential direction. This study develops a numerical modeling to ...

Abstract: The effects of circumferential outlet distortion of a centrifugal pump diffuser on the impeller exit flow were investigated. A fence with sinusoidal width variation was installed at the vaneless ...

Abstract: The viscous flow through a controlled diffusion (CD) compressor cascade was calculated and compared with the measured data for two different test conditions. A control volume method was used, ...
