Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical Simulation of the Dynamic Effects Due to Impeller-Volute Interaction in a Centrifugal Pump
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical simulation of a commercial centrifugal water pump with backward curved blades is presented, where the viscous Navier-Stokes equations are handled with an unsteady calculation and the sliding mesh technique is applied to take into account the impeller-volute interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spanish method of visual impact evaluation in wind farms
TL;DR: A methodology to predict, before its construction, the visual impact that a wind farm can have is developed, which could be used as a consulting tool to analyze and evaluate wind projects, both government-run and private.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of a centrifugal pump running in inverse mode
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the functional characterization of a centrifugal pump used as a turbine and show the characteristics of the machine involved at several rotational speeds, comparing the respective flows and heads.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Impeller Cutback on the Fluid-Dynamic Pulsations and Load at the Blade-Passing Frequency in a Centrifugal Pump
TL;DR: In this paper, a study on the fluid-dynamic pulsations and the corresponding dynamic forces generated in a centrifugal pump with single suction and vaneless volute due to blade-volute interaction is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of radial load in centrifugal pumps using computational fluid dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a commercial CFD code to estimate the total radial load on the impeller of two test pumps for several flow rates between 10% and 130% of rated conditions.
