Fluid dynamics assessment of the Tesla turbine rotor [PDF]
The Tesla turbine seems to offer several points of attractiveness when applied to low-power applications. Indeed, it is a simple, reliable, and low cost machine. The principle of operation of the turbine relies on the exchange of momentum due to the shear forces originated by the flow of the fluid through a tight gap among closely stacked disks.

Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis of the Tesla Turbine [PDF]
Serbian-born inventor Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla turbine and patented it in 1913. The Tesla turbine is unique in the sense that it does not have any blades, also referred to as “bladeless turbine”. The working was based on the establishment of the fluid boundary layer. The original Tesla turbine consisted of multiple smooth discs. With the passage

Design and optimization of a Tesla turbine for ORC applications
Abstract In recent years, small-micro power generation was appointed as one of the proper solutions to tackle the increasing energy consumption, while opening the way to distributed energy systems and micro grids. The most interesting solution for small-micro power generation is the ORC technology, however, it still needs further developments ...
