An alternative approach to induced drag reduction
Aviation, 2021 Induced drag constitutes approximately 40% of the total drag of subsonic civil transport aircraft at cruise conditions. Various types of winglets and several non-planar concepts, such as the C-wing, the joined wings, and the box plane, have been proposed

Wake-Model Effects on Induced Drag Prediction of Staggered Boxwings
Aerospace, 2018 For staggered boxwings the predictions of induced drag that rely on common potential-flow methods can be of limited accuracy. For example, linear, freestream-fixed wake models cannot resolve effects related to wake deflection and roll-up, which can have ...

Numerical and Experimental Study of a Wing Combined with Wing Grids in Low Reynolds Number Flows [PDF]
مهندسی مکانیک شریف, 2022 One of the reasons for the increase in induced drag is the vortices created at the wing tip, which has a significant effect on reducing aerodynamic efficiency.

Substructures induced by dust drag in protoplanetary disks
Astronomy & AstrophysicsDust substructures observed in protoplanetary disks are commonly attributed to embedded planets; however, intrinsic gas-dust interactions can also generate complex morphologies.

A novel approach to calculating induced drag from computational fluid dynamics
AIP Advances, 2021 Early aerodynamic mathematical methods rely on potential flow concepts that formally isolate aerodynamic drag into a profile and an induced drag component.

Aerodynamic Modeling of a Flying Wing Featuring Ludwig Prandtl’s Bell Spanload
Aerospace, 2023 This paper presents the aerodynamic modeling of a flying wing featuring Ludwig Prandtl’s bell spanload. The aerodynamic models are developed using a medium fidelity vortex-lattice method and using a Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes computational fluid ...

Comparison of Induced and Parasitic Drag on Wings with Minimum Induced Drag
AIAA Scitech 2019 Forum, 2019 Minimizing the induced drag for steady level flight is a variational problem that requires solving for the optimum lift distribution given a set of design constraints. From lifting-line theory, minimizing the induced drag is, in part, achieved by varying the Fourier coefficients used to describe the section lift.

Developments in Wingtip Vorticity Mitigation Techniques: A Comprehensive Review
Aerospace, 2023 Wingtip vortices generated from aircraft wingtips, as a result of the pressure differential at the wingtip, constitute a major component of the total drag force, especially during take-off and landing.
