Flow in turbulent boundary layers over various rough surfaces was measured by the time-resolved particle image velocimetry and the thermal anemometry. The experimental methods showed very good agreement in both mean and spectral characteristics taking into account each method limitations. The spectral characteristics supported the attached eddy hypothesis. The most energetic structures were growing with the wall-normal distance and they achieved sizes equal to 3 to 8 boundary layer depths.

The truly time-variant unsteady flow in a low specific speed radial diffuser pump stage has been investigated by time-resolved Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements. The measurements are conducted at the midspan of the blades for the design condition and also for some severe part-load conditions. The instantaneous flow fields among different impeller channels are analyzed and compared in detail, and more attention has been paid to flow separations at part-load conditions. The analysis of the measured results shows that the flow separations at two adjacent impeller channels are quite different at some part-load conditions. The separations generally exhibit a two-channel characteristic.
