Pressure pulsations may cause high-amplitude vibrations during the process of a centrifugal pump. The trailing edge shape of the blade has a critical influence on the pump’s pressure fluctuation and hydraulic characterization. In this paper, in...
The energy loss inside a centrifugal pump has a significant effect on its performance characteristics. Based on the structural characteristics of the humpback pectoral fin, a new tongue was designed to improve the performance of the centrifugal pump....
Inspired by the tubercles on humpback whale flippers, leading-edge tubercles have been incorporated into the design of wings and turbine blades in an attempt to improve their hydrodynamic performance. Although promising improvements, especially in te...
This study explores the aerodynamic behavior of bioinspired airfoils under extremely low Reynolds number conditions, simulating those found in the Martian atmosphere. Modified NACA 0018 profiles with sinusoidal leading-edge tubercles were tested to a...
A numerical investigation is proposed to explore the flow past a novel wavy circular cylinder as a passive flow control, whose shape is determined by a sinusoidal function applied to its leading edge line, similar to studies with wavy leading-edge ai...
