The possibility of application of the advanced hypertrochoid curve in the inner surface of the stator of fixed displacement hydraulic vane pump, theoretically was studied in the last our work. By considering the properties of this curve, sealing action between pressure and suction sides of the pump can be improved. One of the important characteristics of a new profile must be improving of the i...

The present study concerns fluid-structure coupling phenomena occurring in a guide vane cascade of a pump-turbine scale model placed in the EPFL PF3 test rig. An advanced instrument set is used to monitor both vibrating structures and the surrounding flow. The paper highlights the interaction between vibrating guide vanes and the flow behavior. The pressure fluctuations in the stay vanes region...

The flow field in a centrifugal fan is highly complex with flow reversal taking place on the suction side of impeller and diffuser vanes. Generally performance of the centrifugal fan could be enhanced by judiciously introducing splitter vanes so as to improve the diffusion process. An extensive numerical whole field analysis on the effect of splitter vanes placed in discrete regions of suspecte...

This paper presents a computational study on the aerodynamic effectiveness of vane-type fan-flow deflectors used for reducing jet noise from a supersonic turbofan exhaust with bypass ratio of 2.7. The numerical code solved the three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations. A series of nozzle configurations using deflector vanes of variable number, airfoil section, azimuthal mounti...

We present a three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes investigation of the impact on nozzle aerodynamic performance of deflector vanes used for noise suppression in separate-flow turbofan engines. The vanes are installed in the bypass duct and deflect the bypass plume downward relative to the core plume. This study considers a single pair of vanes, with a NACA 0012 airfoil section, ins...

This paper studies the impact of installing noise-suppressing deflector vanes in the bypass flow on the aerodynamic performance of the dual-stream supersonic nozzle of a turbofan engine by using a three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes computer program. A series of nozzle configurations using a single pair or double pairs of vanes with NACA0012, NACA4412, and NACA7514 airfoil profile...

The main purpose of this paper was to evaluate the performance of the triangular vanes located on the bed and their effect on the bed topography considering different flow conditions. For this purpose, tests were carried out on a straight flume for different flow conditions (five Froude numbers of 0.18, 0.20, 0.22, 0.24 and 0.26) by installing a series of triangular vanes at a space of 4Le (Le ...
