Abstract: The tip leakage vortex (TLV) cavitating flow in an axial flow pump was simulated based on an improved shear stress transport (SST) kد‰ turbulence model and the homogeneous cavitation model. The generation and dynamics of ...

Abstract: The primary cause of mechanical-related fish injury and mortality in turbomachinery is blade strike. Fish contained in the flow may strike with the rotor blades and the fixed diffuser vanes, the latter being a non-negligible ...
