Cavitation is common in traditional torque converters whose blades are designed by beam
theory; the blade curvature is discontinuous and cannot be analysed by functions. In this …

Multiphase pumps for offshore plants must perform at high pressure because they are
installed on deep-sea floors to pressurize and transfer crude oil in oil wells. As the power for …

To understand the flow mechanism of cavitation and its effect on the performance of
automotive torque converter, numerical simulation considering cavitation is carried out at …

Contact fatigue is a main fatigue mode of gears such as those used in wind turbines, due to
heavy duties occurring in engineering practice. The understanding of the gear contact …

Hydraulic torque converters are prone to cavitation due to their high impeller rotational
speeds and their complex three-dimensional flow characteristics. Since the blades are the …

Comparative analysis among the capabilities of the RANS, DES, and LES models to predict
flow and turbulence distribution was conducted to come up with guidelines for hydraulic …

Textured thrust bearings are capable of providing higher load capacity and lower friction
torque compared to nontextured bearings. However, most previous optimization efforts for …

ABSTRACT Traditional one-dimensional (1D) design theory no longer satisfies modern
torque converter design requirements due to the lack of accuracy and long trial-and-error …

Heavy cavitation in torque converters can have a significant effect on hydrodynamic
performance, particularly with regards to the torque capacity. The objective of this study is to …

The impact of the viscosity and the density of transmission fluids on the performance of a
hydraulic torque converter was examined. Four different transmission fluids were evaluated …
