Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research at the Garfield Thomas Water Tunnel of the Applied Research Laboratory, The Pennsylvania State University is in the areas of hub vortex cavitation, the effects of polymer additives, roughness effects and thermodynamic effects. Primary emphasis in this paper will be on the first two areas for the flow regime of limited cavitation. The effects of Reynolds number and vortex breakdown on hub vortex cavitation are presented. Experimental results for the effects of polymer additives on shear flow and on flows about axisymmetric bodies are discussed. A brief description of research on roughness and thermodynamic effects completes the paper. (Author).

This book was released on 1975 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A discussion is presented of the 1.5 inch ultra-high-speed cavitation tunnel located at The Garfield Thomas Water Tunnel building of the Applied Research Laboratory at The Pennsylvania State University. Included is a description of the facility, operating procedures, and details of the tunnel calibration. The facility is designed to permit large variations in velocity, pressure, and temperature for various liquids. The maximum operating condition for these parameters is 300 fps, 1200 psia, and 300F. Color illustrations reproduced in black and white.

Download or read book Surface Ship Testing at the Garfield Thomas Water Tunnel written by A. L. Treaster and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 48-inch (121.92 cm) diameter Garfield Thomas Water Tunnel of the Applied Research Laboratory was recently used to compare the relative cavitation characteristics of propellers operating on a surface ship hull. A basic objective of the investigation was to develop a method of using this facility for surface ship propeller evaluations. Evaluation of a propeller operated with a model hull in a water tunnel so that the three-dimensionality of the flow is maintained is one of several techniques of testing surface ship propellers. Although neither Froude nor Reynolds number scaling was applicable, it was demonstrated that meaningful cavitation results could be obtained if the flow conditions in the plane of the propeller matched those measured in towing tank tests where the effect of the free surface was present.

Download or read book Cavitation written by Yves Lecoffre and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-08 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text deals with the concept that cavitation is the main limitation to the performance of hydraulic components. Topics covered include the vaporization of liquids due to high velocities or pressure fluctuations, and the effects of cavitation on the performances of rotary machinery. One chapter is devoted to cavitation noise which concerns many users, including surface ships and submarines, and the author finishes with some examples of the use of cavitation and subject-specific measuring techniques.

This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lloyd’s Register Technical Association (LRTA) was established in 1920 with the primary objective of sharing technical expertise and knowledge within Lloyd’s Register. Publications have consistently been released on a yearly basis, with a brief interruption between 1938 and 1946. These publications serve as a key reference point for best practices and were initially reserved for internal use to maximise LR’s competitive advantage. Today, the LRTA takes a fresh approach, focusing on collaboration by combining professional expertise from across LRF & Group to ensure a frequent output of fresh perspectives and relevant content. The LRTA has evolved into a Group-wide initiative that identifies, captures, and shares knowledge spanning various business streams and functions. To support this modern approach, the LRTA has adopted a new structure featuring representatives and senior governance across the business streams and the LR Foundation. The Lloyd's Register Technical Association Papers should be seen as historical documents representing earlier viewpoints and are not reflective of current thinking and perspectives by the current LR Technical Association.
