Tip leakage loss introduces major part of losses of the rotor in axial gas turbines. Therefore, the rotor blade tip has a considerable effect on rotor efficiency. To understand the flow physics of the rotor tip leakage, we solve the flow field for different tip platforms (passive flow control) and by considering coolant tip injection (active flow control). Various blade tip configurations s...

Flow cytometry is in use for the assessment of different cell subsets' prevalence for decades. However, the development of specific dyes sensitive for the quickly changing intracellular analytes provided an opportunity for the real-time monitoring of intracellular processes with flow cytometry. In these kinetic measurements additionally to cell prevalence values the time as a novel variable is ...

in this paper, the fluid-structure interaction phenomenon and the research history are described. then due to the complex and specific working conditions of a turbine blade, we have investigated the phenomenon on this subject. the fluid-structure interaction on a turbine blade model has been simulated by using structural and fluid flow section of ansys software. a model of turbine blade with ai...

Flow across a rough boundary generates vortical structure over a broad range of spatial scales. The change in the pressure field associated with these structures is manifested as topographic drag. Relevant roughness scales can extend from less than a meter, for surface wave-driven flows, up to kilometers, for tidal currents. Here, we explore the relationship between the energy invested into and...

Abstract. One-dimensional stationary flows of a plasma consisting of two ion populations and electrons streaming against a heavy ion cloud are studied. The flow structure is critically governed by the position of sonic and critical points, at which the flow is shocked or choked. The concept of sonic and critical points is suitably generalized to the case of multi-ion plasmas to include a differ...

a newly developed heavy duty diesel engine in dual fuel mode of operation has been studied in detail. the main fuel would be natural gas and diesel oil as pilot injection. the importance and effects of mixture preparation and formation through ports, valves and in cylinder flow field with different swirl ratio and tumble on diesel combustion phenomena is an accepted feature which has been studi...

this paper describes the effects of induced magnetic field and partial slip on the peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluids in an asymmetric channel. the two dimensional equation of couple stress fluid are simplified by making the assumptions of long wave length and low reynolds number. the exact solutions of reduced momentum equation and magnetic force function have been computed in wave fra...

Edney type IV and type VII shock-shock interactions are complex hypersonic flow phenomena. They are characterized by a supersonic jet which reaches far into the flow field. An experimental investigation of the inner jet structure is difficult, especially in cases where the jet is subject to high-frequency unsteady movements. The present paper provides insight into the jet structure by means of ...
