Mixing Performance of the Modified Tesla Micromixer with Tip Clearance [PDF]
A passive micromixer based on the modified Tesla mixing unit was designed by embedding tip clearance above the wedge-shape divider, and its mixing performance was simulated over a wider range of the Reynolds numbers from 0.1 to 80. The mixing performance

Numerical investigation of tip clearance effects on the performance of ducted propeller
Tip clearance loss is a limitation of the improvement of turbomachine performance. Previous studies show the Tip clearance loss is generated by the leakage flow through the tip clearance, and is roughly linearly proportional to the gap size.

An optical fiber bundle sensor for tip clearance and tip timing measurements in a turbine rig. [PDF]
When it comes to measuring blade-tip clearance or blade-tip timing in turbines, reflective intensity-modulated optical fiber sensors overcome several traditional limitations of capacitive, inductive or discharging probe sensors. This paper presents the signals and results corresponding to the third stage of a multistage turbine rig, obtained from a ...

Flow behaviors in a Kaplan turbine runner with different tip clearances
Tip clearance between the runner blade tip and shroud in a Kaplan turbine is inevitable, and the tip leakage flow (TLF) and tip leakage vortex (TLV) induced by the tip clearance have a considerable effect on the flow behaviors.
