Analysis for Fluid Dynamics
Introduction
Various fluids such as air and liquid are used as an operating fluid in a blower, a compressor, and a pump. The shape of flow channel often determines the efficiency of these machines. In this chapter, the flow structures in a diffuser and the channel with a butterfly valve are examined by using FLOTRAN which is an assistant program of ANSYS. A diffuser is usually used for increasing the static pressure by reducing the fluid velocity and the diffuser can be easily found in a centrifugal pump
