Mind the gap - tip leakage vortex in axial turbines [PDF]
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2014 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.

Leakage Flow Characteristics in Blade Tip of Shaft Tubular Pump
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 The shaft tubular pump device is widely used in various water diversion projects because of its ultra-low head and large flow characteristics. Due to the tip clearance between the blade and the shroud, it is easy to cause hydraulic mechanical performance

Numerical investigation of tip leakage vortex [PDF]
, 2017 The Kaplan turbine has a small clearance gap between the blade tip and casing to allow the blades to rotate freely. This clearance gap is the cause of an undesirable Tip Leakage Vortex (TLV). A TLV might reduce the turbine efficiency, erode the turbine blades or cause instabilities for the power output.

Influence of grooved rib tip structure on tip loss and heat transfer in a gas turbine blade
Frontiers in Energy Research, 2022 This study focuses on the effects of three groove tip structures (full rib groove tip, partial rib tip on the suction side, and partial rib tip on the pressure side) on tip leakage flow, aerodynamic characteristics of a cascade, and heat transfer in a ...

Investigation of the groove effect on the tip leakage vortex flow
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 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

Energy Performance and Flow Patterns of a Mixed-Flow Pump with Different Tip Clearance Sizes
Energies, 2017 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 ...
