Active Flow Control of Helicopter Rotor Based on Coflow Jet

International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2022
When a helicopter rotor undergoes flow separation, the drag of the rotor increases substantially, as does the power demand, which seriously affects the aerodynamic performance and flight safety of the helicopter.

Active gaze control improves optic flow-based segmentation and steering. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
An observer traversing an environment actively relocates gaze to fixate objects. Evidence suggests that gaze is frequently directed toward the center of an object considered as target but more likely toward the edges of an object that appears as an ...

Active flow separation control at the outer wing [PDF]

CEAS Aeronautical Journal, 2019
Within the European project AFLoNext, one of the technological streams is dedicated to the investigation of active flow control (AFC) to increase the robustness of the wing tip design at takeoff conditions, whilst allowing the optimization of aerodynamic efficiency in cruise. AFC is used to delay the wing tip stall, which is caused by vortex breakdown,

Active flow control on airfoils by reinforcement learning

Ocean Engineering, 2023
Active flow control is a widespread practice for airfoil aerodynamic performance enhancement. Within active flow control, reactive strategies are very effective, but the adequate design of these strategies is often complex. This study proposes a reactive control strategy based on a Reinforcement Learning (RL) agent to effectively govern the motion of a

Active Flow Control for High-Speed Trains: From Local Flow Manipulation to Mission-Adaptive Aerodynamic Control

Fluids
High-speed train aerodynamics have mainly been improved by passive design methods, such as streamlined noses, local fairings, and surface smoothing. These methods have achieved clear benefits, but several important aerodynamic problems remain difficult ...

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.
