Understanding of the transnasal pressure and flow behavior during normal breathing conditions has been a subject of much discussion and research. In particular we are interested in testing the hypothesis of quasi-steady flow as well as the role of turbulence on nasal flow dynamics.

Unsteady flow through three-branched pipe configurations has been investigated with the object of finding boundary conditions suitable for use in the analysis of high-amplitude waves using the method of characteristics. The schlieren method and the hydraulic analogy were used to obtain qualitative information about the quasi-steady flow patterns. Quantitative information concerning these patterns was obtained by the measurement of stagnation pressure losses and of the static pressure distribution. Several methods of deriving boundary conditions have been reviewed, and it is considered that those obtained directly by experiment are the most convenient to use.

A study is presented on the numerical computation of the unsteady flow through a single suction and single volute centrifugal pump equipped with three impellers of different outlet diameter. Computations were performed by means of the Fluent code, solving the 3D URANS equations. The study was focused on the effect of varying the impeller-volute radial gap on the flow perturbations associated to the fluid-dynamic blade-tongue interaction. In order to contrast the numerical predictions, an experimental series of tests was conducted for the pump with the bigger impeller, to obtain pressure fluctuation data along the volute front wall. Finally, the results from the numerical simulations were used to compute the radial forces at the blade passing frequency, as a function of flow-rate and blade-tongue radial gap.
