Abstract: Heavy cavitation in torque converters can have a significant effect on hydrodynamic performance, particularly with regards to the torque capacity. The objective of this study is to therefore investigate the effects of pump ...

Abstract: Torque converters are durable fluid couplings that can provide output torque multiplication. Blade leaning angle represents the angular position of a blade chord with respect to its radial reference line, and it is an ...

Abstract: The inlet deflection angle is an important blade design parameter with respect to both performance and manufacturability of torque converters. This study investigated the influence of the inlet deflection angle on the ...

Abstract: Cavitation in torque converters may cause degradation in hydrodynamic performance, severe noise, or even blade damage. Researches have highlighted that the stator is most susceptible to the occurrence of cavitation due to ...
