Large-eddy simulation of the effects of a tower structure on wind velocity and drag coefficient

open access: yesAsian Journal of Atmospheric Environment
A large-eddy simulation was implemented for the flow around a cylindrical observation tower to investigate the effects of the tower structure on wind speed and drag coefficient.

Aerodynamic Drag Analysis of Superpressure and Zero Pressure Balloons using Large Eddy Simulations (LES) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Fluid Mechanics
Stratospheric balloons are an essential part of the scientific research community. In previous stratospheric balloon models used for trajectory prediction and station-keeping, the aerodynamic drag has usually been modeled as similar to that of a sphere ...

Theoretical-Numerical Study of Feasibility of Use of Winglets on Low Aspect Ration Wings at Subsonic and Transonic Mach Numbers to Reduce Drag [PDF]

open access: yes
A numerical design study was conducted to assess the drag reduction potential of winglets installed on a series of low aspect ratio wings at a design point of M=0.8, C sub L=0.3.

Two-dimensional flows of foam: drag exerted on circular obstacles and dissipation

open access: yes, 2004
A Stokes experiment for foams is proposed. It consists in a two-dimensional flow of a foam, confined between a water subphase and a top plate, around a fixed circular obstacle. We present systematic measurements of the drag exerted by the flowing foam on

Behavior of Spherical Particles at Low Reynolds Numbers in a Fluctuating Translational Flow. Preliminary Experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 1972
The behavior of small spheres in non-steady translational flow has been studied experimentally' for values of Reynolds nunber from 0 to 3000. The aim of the work was to improve our quantitative understanding of particle transport in turbulent gaseous ...

Investigation of installation effects of single-engine convergent-divergent nozzles [PDF]

open access: yes
An investigation was conducted in the Langley 16-Foot Transonic Tunnel to determine installation effects on single-engine convergent-divergent nozzles applicable to reduced-power supersonic cruise aircraft.

Thermal Casimir drag in fluctuating classical fields

open access: yes, 2011
A uniformly moving inclusion which locally suppresses the fluctuations of a classical thermally excited field is shown to experience a drag force which depends on the dynamics of the field.
