In river meandering, when flow passes through a bend, reduction of flow velocity and rising hydrostatic pressure cause super elevation phenomena at outer side and reduction of water surface at inner-side of the bend. A helical motion results, causing erosion of the outer side of the bend. Installation of submerged vanes on the stream bed can reduce erosion of the outer bank significantly. In th...

This paper describes the effects of guide vanes installed in curved conduits with main emphasis on pressure loss reduction. In parts conduits, eddy zones are created due to flow separation resulting an increased value drop. Installation can prevent creation large zones. On other hand, cross-section conduit is decreased by placing vanes, leading growth That why properties needed be selected care...

Fluid flow emerges with high velocity referred as liquid jet. Water Jet having its applications in many fields includes agriculture and power generation it has been widely utilized. Impact value of the jet is highly important, to generate maximum efficiency operation. Many factors influence impact depends on type vane used such as: Flat, hemispherical, curved etc. The aim this work investigate ...

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...
