Hydraulics & hydrodynamics

 

Dantec Dynamics' flow measurement equipment can be used to determine the characteristics of water flows around ships' hulls. The benefits are a reduction in resistance, the enhancement of stability and improved propulsion efficiency.

Other hydraulic applications include rotating machinery with internal flows (e.g. engines, pumps and turbines) where engineers are looking for the opportunity to fine-tune product designs to improve efficiency.

Dantec Dynamics' measurement equipment can be an important aid in this process, helping designers to achieve a clearer understanding of the relevant fluid mechanics.
 

Application areas include:

  • Ship hull design (hydrodynamics)
  • Proplusion efficiency
  • Pipe flows
  • Flows in pumps
  • Channel flows
  • Cavitation prevention (ship propellers)
  • Cavitation prevention (pump impellers)
  • Cooling performance
  • Bubble dynamics
  • Hydraulic machinery
