Explanation and discovery in aerodynamics [PDF]
The purpose of this paper is to discuss and clarify the explanations commonly cited for the aerodynamic lift generated by a wing, and to then analyse, as a case study of engineering discovery, the aerodynamic revolutions which have taken place within ...

Inverse design of aerodynamic configuration using generative topographic mapping
The inverse design method of aerodynamic configuration is hard to give a reasonable pressure distribution, and strongly rely on experience of designers. The method has been difficult to adapt to the needs of modern aircraft design.

Review of vortex methods for rotor aerodynamics and wake dynamics
Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft with multiple lifting rotors or prop-rotors have received significant attention in recent years due to their great potential for next-generation urban air mobility (UAM).

Aerodynamics-assisted, efficient and scalable kirigami fog collectors
To address the global water shortage crisis, one of the promising solutions is to collect freshwater from the environmental resources such as fog. However, the efficiency of conventional fog collectors remains low due to the viscous drag of fog-laden ...

Numerical Study of Nonadiabatic Wall Effects on Aerodynamic Characteristics of CHN-T1 Standard Model
Cryogenic wind tunnels provide the for possibility aerodynamic tests to take place over high Reynolds numbers by operating at a low gas temperature to meet the real flight simulation requirements, especially for state-of-the-art large transport aircrafts.

Evaluation of Aerodynamic Characteristics in Oscillatory Coning Using CFD Methods [PDF]
The wind tunnel rotary-balance testing is widely used in aircraft dynamics to characterise aerodynamics at moderate and high angles of attack during stall and spin regimes. In such experiments an aircraft test model is rotated along the wind-tunnel free-stream velocity vector allowing the measurement of aerodynamic characteristics in steady rotational ...
