Numerical analysis for the effect of tip clearance in a low specific speed mixed-flow pump
To study the influence of tip clearance on performance (external characteristics, pressure fluctuation and tip loss) of a low specific speed mixed-flow pump, unsteady simulation was performed for the whole flow passage with five tip clearance sizes ( δ 0

Low-coherence interferometric tip-clearance probe
We propose an all-fiber, self-calibrating, economical probe that is capable of near-real-time, single-port, simultaneous blade-to-blade tip-clearance measurements with submillimeter accuracy (typically < 100 microm, absolute) in the first stages of a gas turbine.

Effect of blade tip configuration on tip clearance loss of a centrifugal impeller.
According to the theory presented by the authors, the tip clearance loss of an un-shrouded centrifugal impeller mainly consists of two kinds of loss; one is the drag due to the leakage flow through the blade tip clearance and the other is the pressure loss to support the fluid in the thin annular clearance space between the shroud and the blade tip ...

Energy Performance and Flow Patterns of a Mixed-Flow Pump with Different Tip Clearance Sizes
Tip clearance between blade end and shroud is inevitable in pump operation and of great importance on pump energy performance and pressure fluctuation. As the tip clearance size increases, the head and efficiency of the mixed flow pump drop accordingly ...

An Improved Blade Vibration Parameter Identification Method considering Tip Clearance Variation
Blade tip timing (BTT) technology is the most effective means for real-time monitoring of blade vibration. Accurately extracting the time of blade tip reaching the sensors is the key to ensure the accuracy of the BTT system. The tip clearance changes due

Film cooling characteristics of squealer tip of a turbine blade
The high-speed and high-temperature gap leakage flow in the turbine blade tip clearance directly scours the tip of the rotor blade and generates a local high-temperature region, so the active and passive control of the gap leakage flow is very important.
