Towards a General Analytical Model of Aerodynamic and Phase Instabilities in Advanced Fluid Machinery

天然气是加拿大经济增长和能源可持续性的一种有前途的资源。根据2014年不列颠哥伦比亚省就业计划，仅在不列颠哥伦比亚省就可以通过液化天然气（LNG）的开采、液化和出口创造超过10万个就业机会。天然气已被确定为绿色运输的汽油或柴油的环境上级替代品，并且几家加拿大公司已经成为天然气燃料车辆系统的市场领导者。为了加强加拿大在天然气开采和利用方面的世界领先地位，需要制定一项研究计划，重点是提高天然气系统中使用的泵、涡轮机和其他流体机械的效率和可靠性。

Natural gas is a promising resource for Canada's economic growth and energy sustainability. According to the 2014 BC Jobs Plan, more than 100,000 jobs can be created in British Columbia alone through the extraction, liquefaction, and export of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Natural gas has been identified as an environmentally superior alternative to gasoline or diesel for green transportation, and several Canadian companies are already market leaders in systems for natural gas fueled vehicles. To strengthen Canada’s position as a world leader in the extraction and utilization of natural gas, a program of research is needed with a specific focus on improving the efficiency and reliability of the pumps, turbines, and other fluid machinery used in natural gas systems.
