Abstract: The invention relates to hydroaeromechanics, heat and mass exchange and power engineering, medical instrument engineering, and other branches of economy, in which the motion of a continuous medium (gases, liquids, and mixtures thereof) defines the functional and technical-and-economical efficiency. It relates to the method of forming the currents of a new type whose flow has the embedded tornado-like jets connected with the boundary layer on the streamlined surfaces, sucking this layer out and transferring the sucked mass into the main stream.

Abstract: A device and method for conversion of the energy of medium flows are provided. The proposed device and method ensure suppression of the vortex streams in the flow on the leg of its motion along the radially converging trajectories and concentration of the flow energy, which is expressed by the increase of its velocity and decrease of the summary area of the cross section of the converging trajectories. As the flow runs along the first system of helical trajectories the following takes place: the harmful secondary vortex jets continue attenuating, the degree of concentration of the flow energy increases and velocity components form in the flow, which correspond to natural vortex streams, for instance, tornadoes, whirlpools.

Abstract: A flow being converted is directed through a convergent tube chamber formed by a shell of revolution via two screw channels systems whereas in the first screw channels system the flow is twisted and transfers its energy to a turbine installed on an axis located on a support structure in the second screw channels system the flow is directed through screw channels where a flow with reduced pressure is formed providing transportation of the first flow coming out of the turbine. The channel system may be equipped with a surface generating vortices, guide blades realised in a form of movable elements. The unit is equipped with a electrical generator, which can be installed in any zone, a system of floating suspensions, a rotational speed stabiliser, and a heat accumulator.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of aerohydrodynamics and heat and mass transfer and especially relates to a method and an apparatus for controlling the boundary layer or the wall layer of a continuous medium consisting of gases, liquids and/or their mixtures in the vicinity of a surface (1) for changing the flow structure, turbulence level, transfer of the impulse, transfer of heat and/or admixtures by influencing of the flow and changing of the velocities of the continuous medium particles.

Abstract: The invention relates to hydroaerodynamics and to thermal physics and concerns devices to control the boundary and near wall layers in the flows of continuos media such as gases, liquids, their two-phase or multicomponent mixtures and the like, moving along ducts under no pressure or under pressure.
