...Pawel Kekus-Kumor; David Angland This article presents the results of an experimental investigation into the impact of rake, or inclination of the underfloor, on the aerodynamics of a bluff body equipped with an underbody diffuser. An extensive wind tunnel campaign, utilizing a remotely actuated...

... are induced by the rotating stall with three cells that occur in the diffuser flow channel, and the corresponding high amplitude frequencies are St 0.0074 and St 0.0111 , respectively. The effect of the stall cells is particularly severe near the hub. When the flow rate is further reduced to 0.68Q DES...

... outlet, which caused difficulties in the design of the diffuser and scroll. In the experimental test, the high total pressure loss in the parallel diffuser and scroll parts was observed. This was found to be the result of the significant friction loss caused by the long flow path due to strong...

... that assure a good cleaning of these circuits without disassembling them. Generally, different arrangements are present in these hydraulic circuits, such as expansions, diffusers, and elbows. The flow crossing these singularities strongly affects the process of cleaning in place. This work...

...Junichi Kurokawa; Hiroshi Imamura; Young-Do Choi The purpose of this study is to examine the validity of J-grooves in controlling and suppressing the swirl flow in a conical diffuser, for draft surge suppression in a Francis turbine, which is caused by the swirl flow from the runner outlet...
