Effect of URANS and Hybrid RANS-Large Eddy Simulation Turbulence Models on Unsteady Turbulent Flows Inside a Side Channel Pump

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of axial velocity on the plane near the interface is used to describe the position and intensity of internal fluid exchange between impeller and side channel and the evolutions of circumferential in-plane vortical structures are presented to further account for the process of fluid exchange and the main vortex flows.

Near-isothermal-isobaric compressed gas energy storage

TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness of storing energy by compressing and expanding a condensable gas is evaluated, and a miniature lab-scale experimental setup was designed and built to investigate the compression/expansion characteristics and energy storage efficiency of a system utilizing R134a as the energy storage (primary) working fluid, and mineral refrigerant oil as the liquid piston (secondary) fluid.
