The fluid moves parallel to the axis of rotation. Common in jet engines and large power plants.

These machines add energy to the fluid (e.g., pumps, compressors, fans).

Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery is a cornerstone of mechanical and aerospace engineering. It focuses on the energy exchange between a rotating machine and a working fluid. This relationship is governed by the principles of fluid dynamics and classical thermodynamics. Fundamental Principles

Studying the vibration of blades to prevent "flutter," which can lead to catastrophic structural failure.
