A plasma-assisted hydrogen diffusion flame, denoted as a coaxial AC DBD burner, was designed and analyzed for comparisons with simulations and to better understand the coupling of the plasma and reacting flow. Emission, ...

We investigate the effect of coupling an essentially nonlinear and dissipative attachment to a linearly-sprung circular cylinder undergoing rectilinear vortex-induced vibration (VIV) normal to the mean flow. The attachment ...

This dissertation for the first time analyzed the turbulence effect on the simplified Jones' equation with measurements using a Pitot probe, and found that this method includes a portion of the turbulence effect into account ...

This thesis addresses some of the fundamental issues/aspects as well as practical significance of impact response in granular media. In the first part of the study, we investigate numerically the effect of randomness in ...

Sonic boom attenuation is a considerable design challenge to enable civilian aircraft to operate at supersonic flight conditions. One technology proposed by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation for the production of low-noise ...
