Hydraulically-actuated microscale traveling energy recovery
… in wearable energy harvesting applications. A radial outflow turbine, which trades performance for manufacturability, is designed and built. A permanent magnet generator is designed and embedded within the turbine to enable a compact overall system. Fluidic rectification is pursued with the …

3-D flow and performance of a rocket pump inducer at design and off-design flow rates
… developed in the simulation as expected, with radial outflow in the blade boundary layers. The tip leakage flow formed a recirculation region, a toroidal shaped vortex at the tip leading edge of the blades. The associated backflow forms a blockage that varies with flow rate. The thermodynamic …

Efficient representation of the hydrographic structure of the north Atlantic Ocean and aspects of the circulation from objective methods
… are used to generate estimates of an equivalent radially symmetric ring with radial contrasts of stratification, temperature, salinity, azimuthal velocity, angular momentum, and potential vorticity. A series of related models are inverted for the ring circulation and mixing coefficients. The …

A non-contact end effector for robotic handling of non-rigid materials
… use compressed air and take advantage of the radial airoutflow phenomena. These end effectors have advantages over the conventional endeffectors of lifting flat, thin, porous materials with viscous or slippery surfaces withoutmechanical contact.This thesis discusses hygiene, mechanical …

Investigation of orthogonal blade-vortex interaction using a particle image velocimetry technique
… tangential velocity components promoted by the radial outflow. On the upper blade side, regions of negative axial flow velocity indicate the presence of some fluid passing down through the core towards the surface of the blade, which are accompanied by a split divergence pattern around the …
