Orientation-Dependent Drag Crisis and Flight Response of the FIFA World Cup Match Ball Trionda

Fluids
Surface orientation can influence the aerodynamic response of modern soccer balls, particularly in the drag crisis regime. This study quantified the orientation-dependent aerodynamic characteristics of the FIFA World Cup match ball Trionda using a single

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Two-Stage Multi-Objective Optimization for Improving the Aerodynamic Characteristics of High-Speed Train Nose Shape

Fluids
An optimal high-speed train nose design was formulated to reduce aerodynamic drag, mitigate tunnel micro-pressure waves, and improve crosswind safety. Using the vehicle modeling function, the EMU-320 nose shape was derived and applied as the base model ...

Experimental study of slender vehicles at hypersonic speeds

, 1996
An experimental investigation of the hypersonic flow over (i) a wing-body configuration, (ii) a hemi-spherically blunted cone-cylinder body and (iii) a one-half- power-law body has been conducted for M,, = 8.2 and Re,, = 9.35x104

Aerodynamic and performance characteristics of a passive leading edge Kruger flap at low Reynolds numbers [PDF]

, 2012
An experimental and numerical study was performed on a Clark Y aerofoil with a 10% chord leading edge Kruger flap to examine its aerodynamic performance at Reynolds numbers of 0.6 × 106, 1 × 106, and 1.6 × 106, to help to identify the forces and ...

Neural Fields for Highly Accelerated 2D Cine Phase Contrast MRI

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT 2D cine phase contrast (CPC) MRI provides quantitative information on blood velocity and flow within the human vasculature. However, data acquisition is time‐consuming, motivating the reconstruction of the velocity field from undersampled measurements to reduce scan times. In this work, neural fields are proposed as a continuous spatiotemporal

Aerodynamic Drag and Gyroscopic Stability

, 2013
This paper describes the effects on aerodynamic drag of rifle bullets as the gyroscopic stability is lowered from 1.3 to 1.0. It is well known that a bullet can tumble for stability less than 1.0. The Sierra Loading Manuals (4th and 5th Editions) have previously reported that ballistic coefficient decreases significantly as gyroscopic stability, Sg, is

Efficient polar optimization of transport aircraft in transonic RANS flow using adjoint gradient based approach

, 2012
A major design requirement for transport aircraft is efficient cruise flight in the transonic region. From the aerodynamic viewpoint, this is achieved by favorable lift-to-drag ratio of the aircraft, both at the main design point and at off-design ...

Machine‐Learning Microfluidic Minute‐Scale Microorganism Metrics Monitoring(M6)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On‐site monitoring of microorganisms remains challenging because of low concentrations, strong background interference, and dynamic aerosol diffusion, particularly for aerosol‐transmitted pathogens. Here, we report a rapid detection platform that integrates a Puri‐focusing microfluidic chip, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and ...
