The incentive for use of an interstage diffuser in a free-shaft gas turbine engine is briefly examined and some pertinent published background data reviewed. Tests of two annular diffusers behind an ...

Diffuser-augmented wind turbine systems represent an innovative approach to renewable energy harvesting by utilising an additional aerodynamic structure – the diffuser – to enhance airflow over the ...

Cylindrical holes were once the industry standard for air film cooling on turbine engine components. The cooling holes were traditionally formed using an electro-discharge machine (EDM) with a round ...

Hydraulic turbines are at the forefront of renewable energy systems, where optimised performance and stable flow dynamics are essential for reliable energy conversion and grid integration. The ...

In this conversation with Seyi Oluwadare, a researcher pushing the boundaries of wind turbine performance—blending classical aerodynamics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and lessons learned from ...
