Experimental and Numerical Analysis on Flow Characteristics in a Double Helix Screw Pump

Experimental overall performances on a double helix screw pump are presented and discussed, focusing on the leakage flow for two different rotational speeds. A comparison between experimental and URANS CFD approaches is performed in order to check the CFD closure models’ validity. Some spe...
