Abstract
A new approach to the shaft load simulation with the different types of fluid
coupling is introduced herein. The presented simulation results are obtained for an
electrohydrodynamic drive at different load modes and types of fluid coupling such as:
with constant filling; static self-emptying (traction fluid coupling) and dynamic self-emptying (limiting fluid coupling). The chapter also provides an example of fluid
coupling parameters and characteristics as well as depicts the following operation
modes of the system: acceleration; no-load; load and overload on the turbine shaft.
