Hydrogen is a type of clean energy which has the potential to replace the fossil energy for
transportation, domestic and industrial applications. To expand the hydrogen production …

To improve the problem of turbulence in the forebay of the lateral inlet pumping station, a
typical lateral inlet pumping station project in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, China was taken as …

For reducing the initial GSHP investment, the heat transfer efficiency of the borehole heat
exchange (BHE) system can be enhanced to reduce the number or depth of drilling. This …

Lateral intake is widely built in water transfer and water supply projects. Hydrodynamics and
withdrawal sediment characteristics of a lateral intake are crucial to safe and stable …

Steam jet condensation at low mass flux is important especially in start-up, shutdown or
accident conditions of various applications. Visual experiments of steam–air submerged jets …

Research on water flow in a pump inlet sump is presented. The main effort has been
devoted to the study of the vortical structures' appearance and their behavior. The study was …

Hydraulic engineers confront challenges posed by free surface vortices at pump and power
intakes, influencing turbine efficiency and causing hydraulic losses and blockage. This study …

Surface vortices are a common hydraulic phenomenon at water intakes that adversely affect
safe engineering operations. The complexity of vortex motion, the diversity of influencing …

The air-entraining vortices may appear in a pump sump when the pumping station operates
at a low water depth, which will induce undesirable phenomena such as cavitation and …

One of the basic phenomena when a liquid leaves a tank is the formation of vortices. This
phenomenon can have a significant impact on the liquid mass remaining in the tank and the …
