Abstract: Screw grooved annular seals are used in many heavy duty pumps such as boiler feed pumps. These annular seals have a significant effect on rotordynamic characteristics of the pumps. Studies on ...

Abstract: Cavitation induced flow instabilities are of interest in numerous applications. Experimental and numerical investigations of this phenomenon are taking place at several institutions around the ...

Abstract: The effects of foil geometry on partial and transitional cavity oscillations were examined by experiments. The transitional cavity oscillation can be observed in the upstream pressure fluctuation ...

Abstract: The fatigue life estimation of solder joints is one of the most critical requirements in the development of reliable electronic components. In this study, we first examined a constitutive model ...
