Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power plants are considered as one of the most promising
technologies to generate power from low temperature heat sources such as biomass …

Diaphragm pumps often experience cavitation and subsequent fluid flow oscillation when
delivering an organic fluid in small/micro scale organic Rankine cycle (ORC). The cavitation …

The current approach to hydraulic fracturing requires large amounts of industrial hardware to
be transported, installed and operated in temporary locations. A significant proportion of this …

To fill the gap in the literature in terms of numerical studies of positive displacement (PD)
pumps in a cavitating condition, a comprehensive and transient computational fluid …

This paper presents the unsteady numerical methodology for the CFD simulation of Air-
Operated Diaphragm Pumps. The model reproduces the unsteady displacement of the …

A full 3D unsteady numerical model with dynamic meshes is developed to simulate the fluid–
structure interaction in the non-returning valves of air-operated diaphragm volumetric …

Efficiency of reciprocating pumps depends on the performance of their valves. In order to
find a breakthrough point of prolonging the valve service life, research on the valve motion …

A transient multiphase CFD model was set up to investigate the main causes which lead to
cavitation in positive displacement (PD) reciprocating pumps. Many authors such as Karsten …

Artificial lift pumps are widely used in oil production, and among them, sucker rod pumps are
conceptually the simplest ones. The reciprocating movement of the plunger triggers the …

Positive displacement (PD) pumps are widely employed in industrial settings due to their
inherent simplicity and reliability, serving a variety of applications from slurry transport to jet …
