Aircraft Wing Design for Extended Hybrid Laminar Flow Control

open access: yesAerospace, 2023
Laminar flow offers significant potential for increasing the energy-efficiency of future transport aircraft. The German Cluster of Excellence SE2A is developing a new approach for hybrid laminar flow control.

Review of the State-of-the-Art Uses of Minimal Surfaces in Heat Transfer

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
The design of heat exchangers may change dramatically through the use of additive manufacturing (AM). Additive manufacturing, colloquially known as 3D printing, enables the production of monolithic metal bodies, devoid of contact resistance.

Stripped and layered fabrication of minimal surface tectonics using parametric algorithms

open access: yesCurved and Layered Structures, 2023
This article describes a parametric design and fabrication workflow influenced by Frei Otto’s form-finding experiments on soap films. The research investigates minimal surface geometry by combining physical and digital experiments in a computational ...

The Cohomological Genus and Symplectic Genus for 4-Manifolds of Rational or Ruled Types

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
An important problem in low dimensional topology is to understand the properties of embedded or immersed surfaces in 4-dimensional manifolds. In this article, we estimate the lower genus bound of closed, connected, smoothly embedded, oriented surfaces in

Minimal nets and minimal minimal surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section A Foundations of Crystallography, 2013
The 3-periodic nets of genus 3 (`minimal nets') are reviewed and their symmetries re-examined. Although they are all crystallographic, seven of the 15 only have maximum-symmetry embeddings if some links are allowed to have zero length. The connection between the minimal nets and the genus-3 zero-mean-curvature surfaces (`minimal minimal' surfaces) is ...

Aeroelastic flutter of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) beams

open access: yesComposites Part C: Open Access, 2023
This work unveils the linear aeroelastic flutter attributes of functionally graded triply periodic minimal surface (FG-TPMS) beams. The Euler-Bernoulli theory including neutral axis shift effect is used to model the FG-TPMS beams.

Exotic Minimal Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2012
We prove a general fusion theorem for complete orientable minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with finite total curvature. As a consequence, complete orientable minimal surfaces of weak finite total curvature with exotic geometry are produced. More specifically, universal surfaces (i.e., surfaces from which all minimal surfaces can be recovered) and ...

On solving the plateau problem in parametric form

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1983
This paper presents a numerical method for finding the solution of Plateau's problem in parametric form. Using the properties of minimal surfaces we succeded in transferring the problem of finding the minimal surface to a problem of minimizing a ...
