Development of an Analytic Convection Model for a Heated Multi-Hole Probe for Aircraft Applications

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Ice accretion or icing is a well-known phenomenon that entails a risk for the correct functioning of an aircraft. One of the areas more vulnerable to icing is the air data measuring system.

Pinch-off of a stretching viscous filament and drop transport

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2015
This study is focused on the stretching and breakup of a Newtonian liquid bridge between two parallel plates, one of which moves with a constant acceleration. The experimental device is designed to achieve high acceleration (up to 200 m s ^−2 ) with high

Investigation of Additively Manufactured Wind Tunnel Models with Integrated Pressure Taps for Vortex Flow Analysis

open access: yesAerospace, 2019
Wind tunnel models are traditionally machined from high-quality metal material; this condition reduces the possibility to test different geometric variations or models as it corresponds to incremental cost.

On Interface Issues in LES/RANS Coupling Strategies: A Method for Turbulence Forcing

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2011
The present work deals with a computational strategy coupling near-wall, eddyviscosity-based RANS models with LES within a zonal Hybrid LES/RANS (HLR) framework. Key questions concerning the coupling of both methods, the inherently steady RANS method and

Experimental investigation of some aspects of insect-like flapping flight aerodynamics for application to micro air vehicles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Insect-like flapping flight offers a power-efficient and highly manoeuvrable basis for micro air vehicles for indoor applications. Some aspects of the aerodynamics associated with the sweeping phase of insect wing kinematics are examined by making ...

Pulsed Blowing Interacting with a Leading-Edge Vortex

open access: yesAerospace, 2020
Manipulation of vortex instabilities for aerodynamic performance increase is of great interest in numerous aeronautical applications. With increasing angle of attack, the leading-edge vortex of a semi-slender delta wing becomes unsteady and eventually ...
