Typical manufacturing defects and mitigation strategies in thick thermosetting composites. Abstract The composite part industry is currently dominated by thin‐section geometries. However, thick composites gain interest in many applications where monolithic parts are required, such as foils, wind mill root blades, and so forth.

ABSTRACT This study establishes a full‐flow passage numerical model of an LNG submerged pump equipped with two‐stage splitter blades through three‐dimensional modeling. Numerical simulations validated by liquid nitrogen experiments demonstrate that at 1.4 times the design flow rate, the peak efficiency reaches 60.6%, with a maximum head of 194.93 m ...

The cloud-cavitation shedding mechanism was numerically investigated around the NACA 0015 hydrofoil of α = 7° and σ = 0.7, 0.67 under the identical computational conditions as in Paper I [W. Jin, AIP Adv. 11, 065028 (2021)].

Flow Memory Effect on Open‐Frame Remotely Operated Vehicle Motion
ABSTRACT The flow memory effect is a kind of viscous force caused by acceleration between continuous phases and underwater vehicles and the development of the boundary layer near the interfacial surface. This paper establishes a 6‐degrees‐of‐freedom unsteady equation of motion describing the flow memory effect on viscous hydrodynamic loads.

Research on swimming hydrodynamics based on a three‐dimensional high‐precision fish model
Abstract Fish swimming hydrodynamics serves as a critical foundation for aquatic ecological conservation, with recent research extending from 2D to 3D perspectives. This study employs 3D high‐fidelity modeling with dynamic mesh technology to investigate how cylindrical obstacles at varying positions affect Carassius auratus locomotion. Analysis of nine

Abstract Signal noise removal is an indispensable and critical procedure in obtaining clean pavement texture data for reliable pavement evaluation and management. Nevertheless, the presently established denoising approaches to pavement texture data still rely on traditional techniques that have long struggled with removing noise accurately and ...

Numerical simulation of hydrodynamic performance of hydrofoil with inner groove
[Objectives] Underwater hydrofoils have the characteristics of drag reduction and energy conservation. They are often used in the design of rudder and fin stabilizers for high-performance ships.

Present paper is aimed to predict theoretically the lift, moment and energy of wake vortex on the submerged hydrofoil moving close to the free surface under waves.Satisfying the boundary condition on the free surface, velocity potential is obtained for the bound and free vortex, from which the induced velocity field can be determined. From the boundary

Wakesurfing, Wakeboarding, and Waterskiing: A Comparison of Wake Characteristics
ABSTRACT Waterskiing has been a commonplace and generally well‐accepted activity on inland waterways for many decades. More recently, there has been a significant increase in wakeboarding and wakesurfing, with the latter relying heavily upon “enhanced” boat wake.

Abstract The deep‐sea demersal fish fauna is characterized by a prevalence of elongated‐body forms with long tapering tails. Using baited camera landers at depths of 4500–6300 m in the Pacific Ocean, we observed multiple instances of backward swimming using reverse undulation of the slender body in four species: the cutthroat eel Ilyophis robinsae ...
