Understanding of tip clearance flow structure in high speed mixed flow compressor
This paper addresses the necessity to make a physical interpretation of a highly complex three-dimensional tip clearance flow field study for high-speed mixed-flow compressor having stage exit static pressure to inlet total pressure ratio of 3.8 with 39 ...

In modern turbine rotors, tip-leakage flow is a common phenomenon that accounts for about 1/3 of the stage loss. Studies show that as the imposed load increases, a shock wave appears in the tip region, which causes a significant interference on the ...

Mind the gap - tip leakage vortex in axial turbines [PDF]
The tendency of designing large Kaplan turbines with a continuous increase of output power is bringing to the front the cavitation erosion issue. Due to the flow in the gap between the runner and the discharge ring, axial turbine blades may develop the so called tip leakage vortex (TLV) cavitation with negative consequences.

Investigation of the groove effect on the tip leakage vortex flow
Abstract The groove effect on the tip leakage vortex around a NACA0009 hydrofoil was studied by numerical method. The results show that, as the groove angle is 45°, the groove could enhance the turbulence kinetic energy around the TLV, weaken the TLV strength and improve the pressure in the TLV core, resulting in an efficient suppression

Large Eddy Simulation of Hydrofoil Tip Leakage Vortex
Abstract The axial-flow turbomachinery is important in water supply and drainage. However, there is a gap between the blade tip and the casing, which is easy to cause tip leakage vortex. Tip leakage of axial-flow turbomachinery has bad impact on the operation stability.

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 ...

Experimental investigation of the tip leakage flow in a low-speed multistage axial compressor
Casing pressure measurements and Stereoscopic Particle-Image Velocimetry (SPIV) measurements are used together to characterize the behavior of the rotor tip leakage flow at both the design and near-stall conditions in a low-speed multistage axial ...
