Fluid Flow Equations for Rotordynamic Flows in Seals and Leakage Paths [PDF]
Fluid-induced rotordynamic forces produced by the fluid in an annular seal or in the leakage passage surrounding the shroud of a pump or turbine, are known to contribute substantially to the potential excitation forces acting on the rotor.

Drag reduction within radial turbine rotor passages using riblets [PDF]
In this paper, reducing the friction losses in a radial inflow turbine rotor surface by adding engineered features (riblets) is explored. Initially, computational fluid dynamics analysis was used to study the operating mechanism of riblets and to test ...

Numerical studies towards practical large-eddy simulation [PDF]
Large-eddy simulation developments and validations are presented for an improved simulation of turbulent internal flows. Numerical methods are proposed according to two competing criteria: numerical qualities (precision and spectral characteristics), and

What you see is what you step: the horizontal-vertical illusion increases toe clearance in older adults during stair ascent [PDF]
PURPOSE Falls on stairs are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly people. A simple safety strategy to avoid tripping on stairs is increasing foot clearance. We determined whether a horizontal–vertical illusion superimposed onto stairs
