Numerical Simulation of Aerodynamic Instability Mechanisms in the Diffuser of a Multistage Centrifugal Compressor

open access: yesFluids
The main reason for limiting the working flow range of the compressor is the unstable flow phenomenon of the compressor working at a small flow rate, including stall, surge, and rotational instability.

Numerical Investigation of a Dynamic Stall on a Single Rotating Blade

open access: yesAerospace, 2021
Dynamic stall is a phenomenon on the retreating blade of a helicopter which can lead to excessive control loads. In order to understand dynamic stall and fill the gap between the investigations on pitching wings and full helicopter rotor blades, a ...

Creating Ti–Fe α/β Alloys by Diffusion‐Driven Solid‐State Processing

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes making alloys containing fast diffusing elements that are difficult to produce by ingot metallurgy, by diffusion‐driven solid‐state HIP processing of elemental powders and low‐temperature homogenisation. Here, novel Fe‐Ti α–β alloys are formed having fine α–β lamellae, a small β prior grain size without significant intermetallics ...

An Electrowetting Pump

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A tubular electrowetting pump moves alternating droplets through a millimeter‐wide channel in discrete, reversible steps, functioning as a fluidic stepper motor. With no moving parts and electrodes insulated from the liquid, it delivers silent, accurate flow. Flexibility allows the pump to be woven directly into textiles for wearable, medical, and soft‐

A stall‐delay model for rotating blades [PDF]

open access: yesPAMM, 2007
AbstractThe paper is aimed at describing a fundamental phenomenon: the effect of rotation on the inboard blade boundary layer on a wind turbine. The three‐dimensional incompressible steady momentum integral boundary‐layer equations are used to predict the boundary‐layer growth and limiting streamline angles on the blade surface for both attached and ...

Bioinspired Adaptive Surfaces for Intelligent Liquid Manipulation: Progressing From Passive and Active to Hybrid Strategies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines passive, active, and hybrid liquid manipulation strategies, highlighting hybrid approaches as an emerging route to reconcile energy efficiency with adaptive control. By actively reconstructing passive surfaces to store programmable interfacial energy, hybrid systems enable flexible yet low‐power liquid transport, with perspectives ...

A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

Effect of inlet elbow on rotation stall in waterjet propulsion pump

open access: yesFundamental Research
To study the influence of an elbow inlet on the rotating stall characteristics of a waterjet propulsion pump (WJPP), a three-dimensional internal flow field in a WJPP under a straight-pipe inlet and elbow inlet is numerically simulated.

Physics of Prestall Propagating Disturbances in Axial Compressors and Their Potential as a Stall Warning Indicator

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2017
Axial compressors in aero engines are prone to suffering a breakdown of orderly flow when operating at the peak of the pressure rise characteristic. The damaging potential of separated flows is why a safe distance has to be left between every possible ...

Unsteady behavior and mechanism of a rotating stall in a centrifugal compressor with vaneless diffuser

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2021
Unsteady diffuser stall behavior in a centrifugal compressor with a vaneless diffuser was investigated by experimental and computational analyses. The diffuser stall generated as the mass flow rate decreased. The diffuser stall cell rotated at 25-30 % of
