Abstract In order to broaden the stable working range of air-breathing continuous rotating detonation engine and explore influence combustor configuration on propagation characteristics wave, cavity-based annular is introduced. Air-breathing experiments are conducted with non-premixed ethylene air. A tri-propellant air-heater used imitate outlet parameters intake Ma4/20km. The designed mass flo...

This paper is about experimental results for partial reduction of vortex at vertical pipe intakes. One of the easiest and practical ways of reducing vortex effect is to use anti-vortex plates or baffles. These plates can be used to avoid the vortex completely or partially. This paper will concentrate on the latter case. Rectangular plates with different dimensions have been placed at different ...

Abstract The flow in the heated rotating cavity of an aero-engine compressor is driven by buoyancy forces, which result pairs cyclonic and anticyclonic vortices. resultant field three-dimensional, unsteady, unstable, makes it challenging to model heat transfer. In this paper, properties vortex structures are determined from novel unsteady pressure measurements collected on disk surface over a r...

Gas turbine engines have a high power-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for generation of aircraft thrust, and can have excellent electrical power generation efficiencies when used in a combined cycle power plant. A complex vortical flow at the junction of the nozzle guide vane airfoil and its casing (endwall) in the turbine section tends to decrease aerodynamic efficiency and increase metal t...

In this paper the effects of rigid triangular passive vortex generators on a  hydrofoil were investigated numerically.  In the first step using the Finite Volume Method the bare hydrofoil  were modeled and the results of lift and drag coefficients were validated using experimental data. In the next step the hydrofoil armed with vortex generators was modeled and its effect on the hydrofoil perfo...
