Abstract: The performance of an impeller of a low-speed radial-inflow turbine, designed using a three-dimensional inverse technique, was evaluated experimentally. This performance was compared with that ...

Abstract: There are surprisingly few inverse methods described in the literature that are truly three dimensional. Here, one such method is presented. This technique uses as input a prescribed distribution ...

Abstract: Recent experimental studies suggest that the usual way of measuring and predicting the efficiency of the cross-flow turbine do not describe the flow physics adequately. This verification led to the present investigation ...
