The more efficiency regarding the hydrodynamic torque converter is an important because of the role it plays as the automatic transmission in fuel consumption and power train performance.
As for the stator which is in charge of torquing up, it is necessary to clarify the flow through the stator for the optimization of the hydrofoil.
In this study, a circular flow apparatus for visualization was used for detailed measurements of the flow around the stator blade.
By making bubbles the tracer and visualizing the water flow, separation, separated region and velocity distribution could be clarified by LDV measurements. Concerning separation and separated region, the difference between the two kinds of typical stator blades used for the torque converter was studied.
