Gear pumps represent the majority of the fixed displacement machines used for flow
generation in fluid power systems. In this context, the paper presents a review of the different …

The lubrication of the mechanical components reduces friction, and increases the efficiency
and the reliability. However, the interaction of moving components with the lubricant leads to …

Over the years, numerous investigations have established the gerotor fundamentals. This
work aims to provide a complete review of the literature from the last decade, focusing on the …

The internal leakage flows in external gear and gerotor pumps are often represented by flow
through curved constrictions. The nature of this flow can vary from laminar to turbulent and …

OpenFOAM is a CFD software widely used in both industry and academia. The exaFOAM
project aims at enhancing the HPC scalability of OpenFOAM, while identifying its current …

Gerotors are positive displacement machines known for being cost-effective, durable,
compact, and quiet and are used in many low-pressure applications. Nearly any smooth …

Compared with involute internal gear pumps and gerotor pumps, lower flow ripple is the
main advantage of Truninger pumps. Understanding the flow ripple mechanism and …

Unbalanced radial force is one of the most urgent issues for internal gear pumps (IGPs)
working at high working pressures. A numerical model for the prediction of the unbalanced …

The paper describes the modeling and the experimental tests of a variable displacement
vane pump for engine lubrication. The approach used for the simulation has involved three …

Gerotors are a family of mechanical pumps used for cooling, lubrication and fuel transfer in
aerospace, medicine, etc. Modern industry demands to shorten the development time of …
