Disc Thickness and Spacing Distance Impacts on Flow Characteristics of Multichannel Tesla Turbines

Tesla turbines are a kind of unconventional bladeless turbines, which utilize the viscosity of working fluid to rotate the rotor and realize energy conversion. They offer an attractive substitution for small and micro conventional bladed turbines due to two major advantages. In this study, the effec...
