Low-Reynolds-number turbulent forced-convection flow over graded baffle plates

open access: yesRevue des Énergies Renouvelables, 2016
The thermo-hydraulic behaviors of turbulent forced-convection heat transfer flow over a rectangular cross section baffled channel are numerically examined in various graded baffle plate ratio configurations ‘GBR = 0.10, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, and 0.15 ...

Experiments on Nonlocal Fluid‐Flow Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A nonlocal fluid‐flow metamaterial composed of standard microfluidic tubes and connectors is designed. Hence, the current of the system at one position depends on the gradient of fluid flow at many other positions, leading to unusual alternating backward and forward laminar flows of water.

Field‐Driven Active Colloids as Distributed Micromachines: Bridging Physics, Control, and Function Across Length Scales

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Field‐driven active colloids are framed as distributed micromachines in which externally supplied power, sensing, and control regulate task‐relevant states. By closing the loop between particle behavior, imaging, computation, and electric or magnetic actuation, these systems can progress from programmable motion toward adaptive functional outcomes ...

A Strategy for Predicting Transonic Compressor Performance at Low Reynolds Number

open access: yesAerospace
A low Reynolds number (Re) environment leads to severe deterioration in compressor performance, and it is necessary and challenging to accurately predict performance at a low Re during the design phase of a compressor.

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

The Harmonic Pitching NACA 0018 Airfoil in Low Reynolds Number Flow

open access: yesEnergies
This study investigates the aerodynamic performance of a symmetric NACA 0018 airfoil under harmonic pitching motions at low Reynolds numbers, a regime characterized by the presence of laminar separation bubbles and their impact on aerodynamic forces. The

Evolution of Physical Intelligence Across Scales

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
By following the evolution of physical intelligence across scales, this article shows how intelligence arises from materials, structures, physical interactions, and collectives. It establishes physical intelligence as the evolutionary foundation upon which embodied intelligence is built.
