Revisiting Wells Turbine Hysteresis in Light of Existing Literature on Moving Airfoils
Tiziano Ghisu, Francesco Cambuli, Pierpaolo Puddu +3
A Wells turbine is an axial-flow turbine consisting of a rotor usually with symmetric (uncambered) blades staggered at a 90 degree angle relative to the incoming flow. This turbine…

Numerical Evaluation of Entropy Generation in Isolated Airfoils and Wells Turbines
Tiziano Ghisu, Francesco Cambuli, Pierpaolo Puddu +3
In recent years, a number of authors have studied entropy generation in Wells turbines. This is potentially a very interesting topic, as it can provide important insights into the…
