Gas-kinetic unified algorithm for computable modeling of Boltzmann equation and application to aerothermodynamics for falling disintegration of uncontrolled Tiangong-No.1 spacecraft

open access: yesAdvances in Aerodynamics, 2019
How to solve the hypersonic aerothermodynamics around large-scale uncontrolled spacecraft during falling disintegrated process from outer space to earth, is the key to resolve the problems of the uncontrolled Tiangong-No.1 spacecraft reentry crash.

The aerodynamic wall [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2014
We study the trajectory of dense projectiles subjected to gravity and drag at large Reynolds number. We show that two types of trajectories can be observed: if the initial velocity is smaller than the terminal velocity of free fall, we observe the classical Galilean parabola: if it is larger, the projectile decelerates with an asymmetric trajectory ...

Urban heat island: Aerodynamics or imperviousness?

open access: yesScience Advances, 2019
Vegetation and moisture play the most important roles in controlling daytime urban heat islands and their spatial variability. More than half of the world’s population now live in cities, which are known to be heat islands.

From primary instabilities to secondary instabilities in Görtler vortex flows

open access: yesAdvances in Aerodynamics, 2019
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

A decomposition formula for the wall heat flux of a compressible boundary layer

open access: yesAdvances in Aerodynamics, 2021
Understanding the generation mechanism of the heat flux is essential for the design of hypersonic vehicles. We proposed a novel formula to decompose the heat flux coefficient into the contributions of different terms by integrating the conservative ...

Simulation of tail boom vibrations using main rotor-fuselage Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this work, fully-resolved rotor-fuselage interactional aerodynamics is used as the forcing term in a model based on the Euler-Bernoulli equation, aiming to simulate helicopter tail-boom vibration.

The Aerodynamics of a Diabolo

open access: yes, 2021
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.

Warp drive aerodynamics

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
Abstract In this work we analyse the potential for a warp drive spacetime to develop instabilities due to the presence of quantum matter. Particularly, we look for points of infinite blueshift (which are analogous to points of a black hole inner horizon, known for its semiclassical instability), and categorise them through the ...
