Abstract

This chapter resumes the main special features of Tesla turbines, encompassing the state-of-the-art both at modelling and experimental levels, and discussing the fundamentals of its principle of operation. Differently from all other types of dynamic machines, Tesla turbines exchange work thanks to frictional forces instead of pressure forces.
