Predictive Control for Alleviation of Gust Loads on Very Flexible Aircraft

open access: yes, 2014
In this work the dynamics of very flexible aircraft are described by a set of non-linear, multi-disciplinary equations of motion. Primary structural components are represented by a geometrically-exact composite beam model which captures the large dynamic

A Stream Power Based Sediment Entrainment Model Across Geophysical Flows Informed by Machine Learning

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Sediment entrainment marks the initiation of particle motion on the bed surface and plays a crucial role in quantifying sediment transport. While the entrainment behavior might vary among different geophysical flows, the underlying mechanisms are often similar.

Geomorphic Reach Scale Controls the Availability of Brown Trout Spawning Sites in Große Mühl, An Alpine River of the Bohemian Massif

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 8, Page 1712-1725, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Studies on the quantity and quality of the spawning habitats of resident brown trout on the catchment scale of rivers are rare. The spawning habitats of salmonids are locally nested along river corridors and are found throughout variable channel patterns, with a preference for sediments composed of gravel and cobbles and appropriate flow ...

The interaction of helical tip and root vortices in a wind turbine wake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Analysis of the helical vortices measured behind a model wind turbine in a water channel are reported. Phase-locked measurements using planar particle image ve- locimetry are taken behind a Glauert rotor to investigate the evolution and breakdown of the ...

Flow Memory Effect on Open‐Frame Remotely Operated Vehicle Motion

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 2611-2638, September 2025.
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.

Unsteady Aerodynamic Performance of Model Wings at Low Reynolds Numbers [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
The synthesis of a comprehensive theory of force production in insect flight is hindered in part by the lack of precise knowledge of unsteady forces produced by wings.

Drag and Lift Forces on Bed Sediments in Open‐Channel Flow Through Boulders at Various Froude Numbers

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract The Froude number (Fr) is an important parameter that affects turbulence structures, bedload transport, and bedforms in mountain rivers. In a prior study by Liu et al. (2024, https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0222673), turbulence structures in open channel flow through a boulder array placed on seven layers of spheres (comprising the channel bed ...

Unsteady transonic flow calculations for interfering lifting surface configurations [PDF]

open access: yes
Unsteady transonic flow calculations are presented for aerodynamically interfering lifting surface configurations. Calculations are performed by extending the XTRAN3S (Version 1.5) unsteady transonic small-disturbance code to allow the treatment of an ...
