Effect of Swirl on Rotordynamic Forces Caused by Front Shroud Pump Leakage [PDF]
Unsteady forces generated by fluid flow through the impeller shroud leakage path of a centrifugal pump were investigated. The effect of leakage path inlet swirl (pump discharge swirl) on the rotordynamic forces was re-examined.

Effect of pre-swirl on gas–liquid two-phase flow characteristics in a helical axial-flow pump [PDF]
In helical axial-flow pumps for gas–liquid multiphase transport, unsteady flow induced by the interaction between the trailing edge of the guide vanes and the impeller inlet often deteriorates the hydraulic performance.

A deformable microswimmer in a swirl: capturing and scattering dynamics [PDF]
Inspired by the classical Kepler and Rutherford problem, we investigate an analogous set-up in the context of active microswimmers: the behavior of a deformable microswimmer in a swirl flow. First we identify new steady bound states in the swirl flow and

The Effect of Inlet Swirl on the Rotordynamic Shroud Forces in a Centrifugal Pump [PDF]
The role played by fluid forces in determining the rotordynamic stability of a centrifugal pump is gaining increasing attention. The present research investigates the contributions to the rotordynamic forces from the discharge-to-suction leakage flows ...

Direct numerical simulation of the near-field dynamics of annular gas-liquid two-phase jets [PDF]
Copyright © 2009 American Institute of Physics.Direct numerical simulation has been used to examine the near-field dynamics of annular gas-liquid two-phase jets. Based on an Eulerian approach with mixed fluid treatment, combined with an adapted volume of

Parametric Study of High-Efficiency and Low-Emission Gas Burners
The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of three significant parameters, namely, swirl flow, loading height, and semi-confined combustion flame, on thermal efficiency and CO emissions of a swirl flow gas burner.

Experimental study of hydrodynamic performances of pre-swirl pumpjet propeller
A pre-swirl pumpjet propeller(PJP) is widely used in the new generation of quiet submarines all over the world, although the experimental study of its hydrodynamic performances is still rare. This paper carries out experimental tests of the pre-swirl PJP

Passive flow control study in a convoluted intake using Stereo Particle Image Velocimetry [PDF]
The ability of vortex generators (VG) to reduce the unsteady distortion at the exit plane of an S-duct (AIP) is investigated. The 3 components of the velocity at the AIP were measured using a Stereo Particle Velocimetry system with high spatial ...

Turbulent Von Kármán Swirling Flows [PDF]
We investigate the turbulent Von Karman flow generated by two counterrotating flat or bladed disks. Numerical predictions based on a Reynolds Stress Model (RSM) are compared to velocity measurements performed at CEA [2]. This flow is of practical importance in many industrial devices such as in gas-turbine aeroengines.

Effect of swirl on fluctuation of pressure drop in a gas–liquid slug flow
Slug flow as one of the typical two-phase flow patterns occurs widely in industry. The fluctuating phenomenon in slug flow is harmful to the pipeline system and should be suppressed.
