Abstract
An arrangement for influencing liquid flow comprises a first section selectively configurable to provide a vortex generator surface to induce vortices in the liquid flow. The arrangement further comprises a second section, wherein the first section and second section are movable relative to one another to provide the vortex generator surface.
Claims19
An arrangement for influencing a liquid flow, the arrangement comprising:
- a first section selectively configurable to provide a vortex generator surface to induce vortices in the liquid flow;
- and
- a second section downstream of the first section and the vortex generator surface,
- wherein the first section and second section are movable relative to one another to provide the vortex generator surface to induce vortices in the liquid flow.
A method of influencing a liquid flow in an arrangement comprising a first section and second section downstream of the first section and a vortex generator surface, the first section selectively configurable to provide the vortex generator surface, the second section including a flow control surface, wherein the first section and second sections are movable relative to one another to provide the vortex generator surface, the method comprising:
- moving the first section and the second section relative to one another to provide the vortex generator surface to induce vortices in the liquid flow.
An arrangement for influencing a liquid flow, the arrangement comprising:
- a first section selectively configurable to provide a vortex generator surface to induce vortices in the liquid flow;
- and
- a second section downstream of the first section and the vortex generator surface, the second section including a flow control surface configured to interact with the liquid flow;
- wherein the first section and second section are movable relative to one another.
