This paper describes a method for predicting the performance under both turbine inlet steady state and non-steady state flow conditions of a mixed flow turbine used for turbocharged internal combustion engines. The mixed flow turbine steady state performances computed with the steady state performance prediction method are in good agreement with the experimental results obtained in the Imperial College turbocompressor cold air test rig. The unsteady state performance is computed using a one-dimensional model based on the solution of the unsteady one-dimensional flow equations. These equations are solved in the volute by a finite difference method using a four-step explicit Runge—Kutta scheme. The instantaneous volute exit condition is provided by the steady state rotor performance prediction model with the assumption of a quasi-steady state flow in the rotor. The computed instantaneous performances are in reasonable agreement with published experimental data for the same mixed flow turbine. The unsteady flow model is also used to study the effects of the frequency and the amplitude of the pulse on the performances of the mixed flow turbine.

Energy separation is a spontaneous energy redistribution within a fluid flow. As a consequence, there are places with higher and lower values of total temperature in the fluid flow. It is characteristic for many flow geometries. This paper deals with the energy separation in a cylinder wake. Two flow conditions are being considered-transient and steady-state flow in the wake. Two different solvers from the open source package OpenFOAM are used in order to capture the phenomenon of energy separation. One of these solvers is modified for the purpose of calculation in a particular case of the vortex street flow. The energy equation based on the internal energy present in this solver is replaced by the energy equation written in the form of a total enthalpy. The other solver has been previously tested in the vortex tube flow, and can also capture the energy separation in the steady-state wake flow of the cylinder. In both cylinder wake flow conditions, a two-dimensional computational domain is used. Standard ?? ? ?? model is used for computations. It is proved that OpenFOAM is capable of capturing the energy separation phenomenon in a proper way in both of the wake flow cases. Good agreement between the experimental results and the ones from computations is obtained in the case of steady-state flow in the wake. Previous research findings are also confirmed in the case of vortex street flow.

 This paper aims to conduct a series of laboratory experiments in case of steady-state flow for the new size 7 ̋ throat width (not presented before) of the cutthroat flume. For this size, five different lengths were adopted 0.535, 0.46, 0.40, 0.325 and 0.27m these lengths were adopted based on the limitations of the available flume. The experimental program has been followed to investigate the hydraulic characteristic and introducing the calibrated formula for free flow application within the discharge ranged between 0.006 and 0.025 m3/s. The calibration result showed that, under suitable operation conditions, the suggested empirical formulas can accurately predict the values of discharge within an error ± 3%.

A simple, approximate but practical graphical method is proposed for estimating the storage coefficient independently from the transmissivity value, provided that quasi-steady state flow data are available from a pumping test. In the past, quasi-steady state flow distance-drawdown data have been used for the determination of transmissivity only. The method is applicable to confined and leaky aquifers. The application of the method has been performed for various aquifer test data available in the groundwater literature. The results are within the practical limits of approximation compared with the unsteady state flow solutions.
