Experimental Investigation and Passive Flow Control of a Cavitating Centrifugal Pump
Passive flow control techniques are used to improve the flow field and efficiency of centrifugal pumps and turbomachines, in general. An important phenomenon that mechanical engineers have to take into account is cavitation. It leads to the decrease of the pump performance and total head. In the pre...
