Abstract: We have recently developed a novel numerical method for fluid–solid and fluid–membrane interaction problems. The method is based on a finite difference fractional step technique, corresponding to ...

Abstract: The deformation of multiple red blood cells in a capillary flow was studied numerically. The immersed boundary method was used for the fluid red blood cells interaction. The membrane of the ...

Abstract: A circumferential groove with swirl breakers was designed and its effect on the suppression of cavitation instabilities in an inducer was investigated in experiments. The circumferential groove with the swirl breakers could ...

Abstract: Deteriorations of nozzle guide vanes (NGVs) and rotor blades of a steam turbine through a long-time operation usually decrease a thermal efficiency and a power output of the turbine. In this study, influences of blade ...
