Hypersonic aerodynamic force balance using temperature compensated semiconductor strain gauges
Metal foil strain gauges remain the state-of-the-art transducers for wind tunnel balances. While strain gauge technology is very mature, piezoresistive semiconductor sensors offer alternatives that are worth exploring to assess their unique benefits ...

Diabolo is a popular game in which the object can be spun at up to speeds of 5000 rpm. This high spin velocity gives the diabolo the necessary angular momentum to remain stable. The shape of the diabolo generates an interesting air flow pattern. The viscous air applies a resistive torque on the fast spinning diabolo.

AbstractBaseball is one of the popular games in America, North Asia and some parts of Europe and Africa. Despite being a popular game, scan data is not available on aerodynamic properties of baseball. Having over 108 curved stitches, complex seams and their orientation, the airflow around the ball is significantly complex and little understood.

From primary instabilities to secondary instabilities in Görtler vortex flows
We have studied the transformation process from primary instabilities to secondary instabilities with direct numerical simulations and stability theories (Spatial Biglobal and plane-marching parabolized stability equations) in detail. First Mack mode and
