Research on Turbine Volute by Varying Different Mass Flow Rate using CFX
Abstract: The volute is a necessary component in the centrifugal machines. Low efficiency is the fundamental disadvantage of a radial flow turbine, no matter the turbine being an essential low-cost technology for hydropower generation. Poor flow profile has been mentioned by way of different radial flow turbine overall performance investigators as one of the reasons for the underperformance. Improving its overall performance is a tremendous way to enhance the total performance …

Research on Turbine Volute design using CFX
Abstract: Volute is centrifugal part or basically it is a casing of turbine, centrifugal pump and turbo chargers. It is the most important component of turbine which converts velocity into pressure by the help of blades. It has a funnel type shape, with increasing diameter with curved shape. It receives fluid from the impeller and maintaining its velocity to the diffuser. While converting the fluids velocity into kinetic energy there are …

To Evaluate the Effect of Vehicle Aerodynamics on the Drive Layout of Vehicle
Abstract: Nowadays, with the increase in competition in automobile sector, vehicle aerodynamics play an important role. Aerodynamics affects the performance of the vehicle due to changes in parameters such as downforce, drag forces and coefficient of drag which play a significant role at high speed. In this research paper downforce and drag force of vehicle are determined by analytical and numerical analysis of flow of air around it. For modeling of …

Aerodynamic Influences on Structures with Varied Plan Configurations
Abstract: The wind-induced effects on tall buildings demonstrate a level of unpredictability, attributed to the intricate influence of the building's plan shape on the distribution of wind loads. The oscillations experienced by tall structures, both longitudinally and laterally, are influenced by factors such as wind direction, building configuration, height, and structural characteristics. This investigation is centred around examining the impact of wind on tall buildings featuring diverse plan cross-sectional shapes. The …

Optimization of Roof angle for Sloping Roof Buildings under Extreme Wind Conditions
Abstract: A downburst that occurs during a thunderstorm is a strong downward current of wind which comes down with high speed from the cloud level and hits the ground. After hitting the ground it spreads radially outward in all directions. These are generally destructive in nature. There are evidences of downburst causing extensive damages to buildings, electrical installations etc. In India thunderstorms often occur during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons particularly in …

Macro-flow Dynamics of Wind over C H and L type Buildings
Abstract: Synoptic and downburst winds are most prevalent in the Indian subcontinent. This paper presents the analysis of the dynamics of these two winds around different buildings using numerical simulation. ANSYS CFX 18 code has been used for the simulation. To maintain accuracy in the results, the grid independence test has been considered. Three commonly used building types C, H and L have been considered for the study. For each type …
