The hydrodynamic clutch is a device of coupling which works according to the principle hydrody-namic transmission. Fluid couplings work on principle. It consists pump-generally known as impeller and turbine generally rotor, both en-closed suitably in casing. used transmit rotating mechanical power. has centrifugal characteristics during starting, thus enabling no load start-up prime mover, great importance. been automobile transmis-sions an alternative clutch. This study aimed at installation test bench or clutches, it was planned to, analyze pressing problems coupler its not still regime. One parallel experimental part, we made theoreti-cal these phenomena based itself essentially resolution system equations movement wheel-pump, wheel-turbine fluid. For numerical simulation, special program written FORTRAN 90 were used, we’ll find values characteristic speed moments, compared two results. They are given form curves.
