Design and Optimization of Fluid Machinery

Abstract

Fluid machinery plays an indispensable role in fundamental human activities and is widely used in areas such as desulfurization in coal-fired power plants, power generation in hydropower stations, water transmission, and agricultural irrigation. Due to the expanding range of applications, there are increasingly higher demands for the performance of fluid machinery in practical engineering. There is an urgent need to design and optimize high-performance fluid machinery to address current issues such as instability, low efficiency, and complex structures in fluid machinery operation. This Special Issue focuses primarily on the design and optimization of fluid machinery. The issue goes through a thorough peer review process, with a total of 21 articles accepted. These articles align with the theme of the Special Issue and cover the following categories.
