Propellers, pumps, and turbines are widely applied in marine equipment, water systems,
and hydropower stations. With the increasing demand for energy conservation and …

Tip clearance results in tip leakage flow from blade pressure side to suction side, and further
deteriorates the energy performance and operation stability. In the present work, the …

Tip clearance results in the leakage flow from blade pressure side to suction side, which will
further cause the tip leakage vortex (TLV). Moreover, the flow pattern in an impeller is …

The characteristics of flow instabilities as well as the cavitation phenomenon in a centrifugal
pump operating at low flow rates were studied by experimental and numerical means …

Influence of original and T-shape blade end on performance of a mixed-flow pump is
investigated by using experimental measurement and numerical simulation. The new …

Flow phenomena and mechanisms involved in cavitation breakdown, namely, a severe
degradation of pump performance caused by cavitation, have been a longstanding puzzle …

Deep sea oil resources worldwide possess great potential for exploration; however,
multiphase medium technology requires urgent development. The multiphase pump has …

Because of the clearance and pressure difference between the pressure side (PS) and the
suction side (SS), the tip leakage flow developed and evolved into tip leakage vortex (TLV) …

Tidal energy was one of the renewable and sustainable energy forms under rapid
development in the past decades. In tidal energy conversion, the hydraulic machinery is the …

Cavitation phenomenon has strong transient characteristics and is highly influenced by
geometric structure. In this study, the cavitation performance with influence of blade tip …
