Article Abstract
To meet the urgent need for a new design concept and solve the inaccuracy of existing performance prediction algorithms for high-speed turbomolecular pumps (TMPs), a new algorithm based on a novel twisted rotor blade is proposed. In this algorithm, the blade angle of the turbine rotor row progressively decreases from the root to the tip of the blade tooth. The feasibility and accuracy of the simulation algorithm were verified through experiments. The dependence of the simulation results on the number of simulated molecules was discussed. Both theoretical analysis and simulations confirmed the necessity of setting a twisted rotor blade in the turbine combined blade row. A comparative analysis on the performance of conventional straight-blade and twisted-blade structures based on the first-four stages of turbine combined blade rows of the F-63/55 TMP was conducted. The results indicated that the maximum pumping speed coefficient and maximum compression ratio of the optimised twisted-blade structure increased by 4.59% and 22.26%, respectively. This novel blade structure overcomes the limitations of the conventional straight-blade structure. Progressively decreasing the rotor blade angle from the root to the tip of the blade tooth is beneficial for improving the performance of TMPs. This study provides a new design concept and performance prediction algorithm for the structural optimisation of high-speed TMPs.

The ever-increasing global demand for low-carbon energy underscores the urgency of water energy harvesting. Despite intensive progress, achieving continuous and efficient water energy harvesting-particularly from abundant, distributed, and low-frequency water flows such as rain, streams, and rivers-remains a critical challenge. Herein, inspired by the classical waterwheel that spatially decouples the gravitational force of flowing water into orthogonal directions for continuous rotation, we report a hybrid, rotatable flowing water-based energy generator (R-FEG) capable of continuous and efficient water energy harvesting at both low and high frequencies.

This paper investigates various methods for predicting rotor turbulent boundary layer trailing-edge noise using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in conjunction with Amiet's trailing-edge noise model. Three approaches are proposed and examined to obtain the boundary-layer parameters, which serve as key inputs to an empirical wall pressure spectrum model. The first approach directly extracts the boundary-layer parameters from 3D CFD solutions.

Various aeroacoustic mechanisms involved in a rotor-beam configuration typically encountered in small-size drones in hover conditions are investigated both numerically and analytically, complemented with experimental data. High-fidelity lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) simulations are performed on the complete experimental setup, capturing both the aerodynamic and the acoustic features of the configuration. The far-field noise is obtained by applying the Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings (FW-H) acoustic analogy.

This dataset presents multiaxial vibration signals collected from a multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operating in hover mode for the purpose of blade fault diagnosis. Vibration measurements were recorded at the geometric center of the UAV, where the centerlines of the four rotor arms intersect, using a triaxial accelerometer. The dataset captures variations across the X, Y, and Z axes under different blade fault conditions, including healthy, minor imbalance, severe imbalance, and screw loosening scenarios.

Urban noise pollution is an increasingly pressing concern, driven by rapid infrastructural development and evolving environmental regulations. Among its most significant sources is the aeroacoustic emission from mechanical ventilation systems, where fan noise, comprising both tonal and broadband components, can be particularly disruptive. Inspired by the silent flight of owls, this study investigates the potential of trailing-edge serrations as a passive noise-reduction strategy for fan blades.
