Sediment and cavitation erosion of the hydroelectric power turbine components are the
fundamental problems in the rivers of Himalayas and Andes. In the present work, the latest …

Guide vanes of Francis turbine are being severely eroded while working with sediment
laden water. The vane shape is generally aerodynamic for directing the flow to runner vanes …

The Wenchuan earthquake greatly reduced the forest water conservation capacity along the
banks of Minjiang River. With the intensified soil erosion and the rapid increasing sediment …

Hydraulic turbines experience severe operational and maintenance challenges when
operated in sediment-laden water. The combined effect of erosive and abrasive wear in …

Mixing efficiency and total pressure loss of a scramjet combustor with a three-strut injector
under different flow control schemes are numerically investigated using the two-dimensional …

The erosion problem of semi-open centrifugal pump serving in silt-carrying fluids is serious,
and the interaction between the particle migration and vortex evolution aggravates the …

This work presents the numerical analysis of the DLR scramjet combustor for different jet
schemes of the double-nozzle injector, namely the various injection directions, injection …

The shear mixing and streamline vortices are the notable parameters to influence the air–
fuel mixing in hypersonic flows. The shock wave development and Mach number …

Purpose Based on the aerodynamic loads and dynamic performances of trains, this study
aims to investigate the effect of crosswinds and raindrops on intercity trains operating on …

Abrasive wear in the clearance gap of guide vanes (GVs) increases the gap size, which
deteriorates the flow and causes loss of efficiency. This paper investigates the performance …
