Abstract:In this work, we investigate the flow velocity controllability of a diffuser-type multiple hydrofoil duct by experimental and numerical flow visualization approaches. The flow velocity controllability is analyzed by changing the angle of the hydrofoil near the outlet, which is the diffuser, while the incoming flow velocity is 0.6 m/s in the experiment. When the diffuser angle is changed from 0 to 7.5 degree, the maximum velocity inside the duct is varied from 1.35 m/s to 1.52 m/s. Also, it is shown from the nu… Show more
