Abstract Radial flow turbines are extensively used in turbocharging technology due to their unique capability of handling a wide range exhaust gas flow. The pulsating nature the internal combustion engine gases causes unsteady operation turbine stage. This paper presents impact various characteristics on performance radial turbine. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamic model was coupl...

We describe and analyze the flow dynamics in replicas of a human anterior communicating artery aneurysm. The replicas were placed in a circuit of pulsating non-Newtonian fluid, and flows were adjusted to replicate human physiologic parameters. Individual slipstreams were opacified with isobaric dyes, and images were recorded on film and by CT/MR angiography. When flow in the afferent (internal ...

Pulsating cone-jets occur in a variety of electrostatic spraying and printing systems. This paper reports an experimental study of the pulsation frequency to reconcile two models based on a choked jet and an oscillating cone, respectively. The two regimes are demarcated by the ratio of the supplied flow rate (Qs) to the minimum flow rate (Qm) required for a steady Taylor cone-jet. When Qs . Qm,...

A general "sound boundary" curve was developed which establishes the combinations of minimum flow Reynolds numbers and percent stenosis required for the onset of vascular murmurs. The curve was derived by a combination of engineering analysis and animal experiments in which thin circular orifice plates were implanted in the descending aortas of anesthetized dogs. The results indicate that the s...
