Where fluid flows, fluid machinery works. Therefore, fluid machinery occupies an important position in the social economy. This Special Issue, entitled "Optimization and Flow Characteristics in Advanced Fluid Machinery", provides a platform for the sharing of knowledge among researchers in the field of fluid machinery, and includes theoretical analyses, numerical simulations, and experimental studies. This Special Issue covers a wide range of disciplines as follows: (1) optimization of advanced fluid machinery using different advanced algorithms; (2) flow characteristics of advanced fluid machinery using numerical and experimental methods; (3) vibration and noise of advanced fluid machinery; (4) fluid-structural coupling analysis of advanced fluid machinery; (5) cavitation and multi-phase flow of advanced fluid machinery; (6) simulation and optimization of new energy systems; and (6) other aspects of fluid machinery.This Special Issue contains 27 manuscripts, including 1 Editorial and 26 scientific articles. We would like to thank all of the authors and peer reviewers for their valuable contributions to this Special Issue.History of engineering and technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscaerostatic porous journal bearingaviation liquid cooling pumpaxial flow pumpaxial thrust coefficientaxial-flow pump as turbinebidirectional axial flow pumpbidirectional operationbladeblade load distributionblade typebowl diffusercavitationcentrifugal impellerCFDcirculating flowcolor edge detectioncompressible flowcompressible flowscore swirl ratiodeformationdishwasher pumpdiving tubular pumpdouble-tongue voluteEIVCenergy lossentropy generationentropy productionequivalent forceerosionexperimentflow characteristicsflow integrationflow rate coefficientfluid machineryfluid-solid couplingfourier seriesgas polytropic indexharmonic balancehigh-pressure jethigh-pressure water jethigh-specific-speed centrifugal pumphigh-speed photographyhub radiushydraulic performancehydraulic supporthydrodynamic characteristicsimpeller speedsinteractioninternal flow patternsinternal flow structurelarge axial flow pump systemlarge flow conditionleakage jetliquid penetrant testingLNG submerged pumploss distributionmachine learningmarine propellerMIGAMiller cyclemixed flow pumpmodel experimentmoment coefficientmulti-objective optimizationmultistage submersible pumpnominal clearancenozzlenozzle pressurenumber of impeller bladesnumerical calculationnumerical simulationnumerical solutionOpenFOAMoptimizationoptimization platformorganic coolantparametric designparticle image velocimetry (PIV)peak to peakPIVPODposition controlpre-swirl rotor-stator cavitypressure detectionpressure pulsationpressure pulsation intensitypump hydraulic performancepump performanceRANSrotor-rotor interactionsafety auxiliary facilitiessecondary flowsecondary tip leakage vortex (S-TLV)self-priming pumpskew and sweepslurry pumpsolid-liquid flowspectral methodsspectrumstart-up characteristicsstructural parameterstructure optimizationsurface response methodsurrogate modelswitch controlthe mean absolute flow angletheoretical modelingtip clearancetip leakage vortex (TLV)transient characteristicsturbomachineryturbulenceunsteady pressure signalvertical axial-flow pump devicevertical axial-flow pumpsvortexvortex pumpwear characteristicHistory of engineering and technologyTechnology: general issuesBOOK9910743273903321Optimization and Flow Characteristics in Advanced Fluid Machinery3560537UNINA03457nam 2200661Ia 450 991095414100332120250204190522.097984006534699786610908554978128090855212809085569780313012952031301295410.5040/9798400653469(CKB)111087028138748(OCoLC)191935990(CaPaEBR)ebrary10040737(SSID)ssj0000157801(PQKBManifestationID)11155897(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000157801(PQKBWorkID)10146007(PQKB)11194951(MiAaPQ)EBC3000912(OCoLC)1439128062(UkLoBP)BP9798400653469BC(EXLCZ)9911108702813874820240612e20022024 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierFragmented Worlds, Coherent Lives The Politics of Difference in Botswana /Pnina Motzafi-Haller1st ed.Santa Barbara :Praeger,2002.New York :Bloomsbury Publishing (US),2024.1 online resource (231 pages)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph9780897898805 089789880X Includes bibliographical references (p.

When the author first went to Botswana in the early 1980s to study the impact a major land reform had on rural life in this impoverished African country, social theory and ethnographic practice seemed solid and convincing. A decade later, and again in 1999, she returned to Bostwana and to the Tswapong people whose lives she had shared, and she encountered not only a rapidly shifting social reality, but she also began to ask questions that stemmed from and were shaped by theoretical frames quite different from those she had employed in her earlier work. At the center of the narrative that runs through this study is a critical reflexive discussion that explores the tension between data recorded at a particular historical moment and the interpretive frames offered to make sense of such data.Social changeBotswanaTswapong (African people)Social conditionsSociologybicsscBotswanaPolitics and governmentSocial changeTswapong (African people)Social conditionsSociology305.896/306883Motzafi-Haller Pnina883609UkLoBPUkLoBPBOOK9910954141003321Fragmented Worlds, Coherent Lives4521972UNINA
