• Energy dissipation and other studies on submerged circular twin jets 

  Shashidhara, N S

  When a high velocity sutmerged water jet enters a quiescent amhient medium of the same fluid Its energy gets gradually dissipated along Its course In the surrounding medium and Its efflux velocity gets decelarated along ...

• Some aspects of cavitation phenomena in centrifugal pumps 

  Bhaskaran, P

  The work reported in this thesis has a fourfold objective, namely, to study: The influence of Froude number on the inception of cavitation in radial flow pumps. The influence of prerotation on the cavitation performance ...

• Effect of pre-rotation on cavitation in centrifugal and mixed flow pumps. 

  Ramaprasad

  It has been theoretically shown that introduction of prerotation at the impeller inlet at design point improves the cavitation performance. A qualitative assessment of this from existing data on centrifugal pump impellers ...

• Dissipation of energy of a circular jet submerged in water 

  Chandrasekhara Swamy, N V

  This thesis deals with the study of the dissipation of energy of a high-velocity jet flowing into a standing mass of water. At the instant when the jet enters the standing pool of water, the jet possesses the maximum energy ...

• Effect of viscocity and surface tension on the taylor instability of the surface of a cavitation bubble 

  Keshava Murthy, K

  This thesis is devoted to a consideration of the following problem: A spherical mass of fluid of density ??, viscosity ?? and external radius R is surrounded by a fluid of density ?? and viscosity ??. The fluids are ...

• Unsteady two-Dimensional flow field behind perforated plates on a flat surface 

  Yaragal, Subhas C

  The flow over bluff bodies with separation is one of the oldest in fluid mechanics. The separated flows would be considered to have local streamline curvature; such flows are particularly of interest in engineering due to ...

• Steady two-dimensional seepage flow analysis analytical and numerical methods 

  Kulkarni, V G
