A PULSATING WATER TUNNEL

Experimental Analysis of Solar Water Heater Using Pulsating Heat Pipe

Solar energy is used for solar water heater in domestic and industrial purpose. Pulsating heat pipe is a fast responding, flexible and high performance thermal conducting device. The CLPHP system described in this study relies on the natural forces of gravity and capillary action and does not require an external power source. The flat plate collector consisted of a 2 mm thick sheet of Aluminum ...

Use of Acoustic Waves for Pulsating Water Jet Generation

Design Algorithm of a Free Surface Water Tunnel to Test the Surface-Piercing Propellers (SPP); Case Study Water Tunnel of Babol Noshirvani University of Technology

Surface-Piercing Propellers (SPPs) have been widely used in high speed craft due to some desirable features such as high efficiency, omission of resistance of equipment attached to the propeller and proper functioning of cavitation. Unlike the submerged propellers, theoretical methods have no significant application on simulation of SPPsbecause of problems related to modeling of these propeller...

Dynamics of a Cavitating Propeller in a Water Tunnel

This study investigates the unsteady dynamics and inherent instabilities of a cavitating propeller operating in a water tunnel. First, the steady characteristics of the cavitating propeller such as the thrust coefficient are obtained by applying continuity and momentum equations to a simple one-dimensional flow tube model. The effects of the tunnel walls as well as those of the propeller operat...

Numerical simulation of water entry of tunnel cross section with different deadrise angles and tunnel radiuses

This study deals with the numerical modeling of symmetrical water entry of tunneled sections. In this study, firstly, the water entry problem of a wedge section without tunnel in four different deadrise angles was numerically modeled. The obtained results related to the pressure distribution on these sections and the maximum pressure have been compared with the experiment results. In the next s...
