To satisfy the growing electricity demand, continuous and stable hydropower conversion is
particularly critical in tidal power station operation. In the above industrial application …

The pipeline system is widely used in marine engineering, and the formation mechanism
and flow patterns of two-phase slug flows are of great significance for the optimal design of …

This paper proposes a new criterion to determine the cavitation initiation in centrifugal
pumps. Because of the importance of saving energy, and the need for specifying a margin …

Numerical simulations were performed on the fluid domain of the mixed-flow pump with
different solid-phase volume fractions to examine the influence of the sediment particles on …

This study aims to numerically investigate the reasons for the hump characteristic
improvement of the large vertical centrifugal pump (LVCP) optimized model and thus …

Multiphase vortices are widely present in the metallurgical pouring processes, chemical
material extraction, hydroelectric power plant energy conversion, and other engineering …

The hump characteristic is one of the unique hydraulic instability of the large vertical volute
centrifugal pump (LVVCP) under part-load conditions, which is extremely detrimental to the …

Axial flow pumps (AFPs) are widely employed in urban flood control and drainage systems
due to its high discharge at relatively low heads. As off-design condition becomes more …

Axial liquid hydrogen pumps, essential for aerospace and energy sectors, offer high
efficiency and reliability at extremely low temperatures. The significance of the tip clearance …

Since double-suction centrifugal pumps consume quantities of energy, revealing critical
factors for energy dissipation is helpful for energy-saving design. This study aims to …
