Abstract
An analysis on pressure drop in vortex amplifier has been performed. Based on theoretical approach with flow physics on well-known firm ground from previous studies, two dimensional flow model, which is very useful to calculate pressure drop of vortex amplifier, is proposed. Parametric studies on inlet and outlet boundary conditions also have been performed so that it found the most influential parameter is the inlet swirl velocity condition. Finally, a simple formulation is given to calculate total pressure drop.
