During hypersonic trajectory through a planetary atmosphere a high heat flux environment is generated due to the friction between gas particles and the vehicle. To protect it from the excessive heat energy that is transferred ...

A series of numerical simulations have been made of compressible two-phase flows containing inert particles. An existing conservative, monotonic compressible flow solver with an unstructured, adaptive mesh was used as the ...

Accurate representation of ice accretions is important to the study and understanding of aircraft icing. For research and certification purposes, replicas of ice accretions generated from icing wind tunnels are fabricated ...

The objective of this research was to further the understanding of the fundamental physical mechanisms which control turbulence and entrainment at different levels of compressibility for supersonic shear flows. Very Large ...

The importance of aerodynamic downforce in competitive motorsports has been well established. Much of this aerodynamic downforce is produced from the inverted multielement wings at the front and the rear of the car. While ...

Controlling stress waves during impact beyond merely dissipating their energy through material fracture, fragmentation, yielding etc., has been a significant focus of research in recent years. Materials exhibiting stress ...

With offshore wind farms gaining substantial momentum in recent years, 2-bladed turbines (2BT) are increasingly becoming a viable alternative to 3-bladed counterparts (3BT). In this wind tunnel study, model wind farms with ...
