Numerical investigation of minimum drag profiles in laminar flow using deep learning surrogates [PDF]
Efficiently predicting the flow field and load in aerodynamic shape optimisation remains a highly challenging and relevant task. Deep learning methods have been of particular interest for such problems, due to their success in solving inverse problems in

A methodology for data-driven modeling and prediction of the drag losses of wet clutches
In wet clutches, load-independent drag losses occur in the disengaged state and under differential speed due to fluid shearing. The drag torque of a wet clutch can be determined accurately and reliably by means of costly and time-consuming measurements ...

Swimming Energy Economy in Bottlenose Dolphins Under Variable Drag Loading [PDF]
Instrumenting animals with tags contributes additional resistive forces (weight, buoyancy, lift, and drag) that may result in increased energetic costs; however, additional metabolic expense can be moderated by adjusting behavior to maintain power output.

Load cell adoption in an electronic drag force flowmeter [PDF]
This research introduces the development of an electronic flowmeter based on the drag force that a body experiences when immersed in a fluid stream. Its main goal was the development of an Electronic Drag Force Flowmeter (EDFF) using a load cell, as well as the evaluation of its performance parameters.

Reducing temperature, drag load and wear during aircraft tyre spin-up [PDF]
Purpose Due to the static condition of the wheels at touchdown, they skid on the runway, which may cause the tyres to burn and wear. This phenomenon occurs in a fraction of a second, known as the spin-up period. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new strategy to reduce the horizontal force, tyre temperature and wear during the spin-up period.

Investigations of aerodynamic drag forces during structural blade testing using high-fidelity fluid–structure interaction [PDF]
Aerodynamic loads need to be known for planning and defining test loads beforehand for wind turbine blades that are tested for fatigue certifications. It is known that the aerodynamic forces, especially drag, are different for tests and operation, due to
