Tip leakage effects on near-tip power transfer and energy dissipation in an axial pump-as-turbine

To quantify the near-tip power-distribution reconfiguration and energy-dissipation characteristics induced by tip leakage in an axial pump-as-turbine (PAT) operating in pump mode, experimentally validated numerical simulations were performed on an axial PAT model. Tip leakage flow, mechanical energy transport, power di...
