Plunging Airfoil: Reynolds Number and Angle of Attack Effects
Natural flight has consistently been the wellspring of many creative minds, yet recreating the propulsive systems of natural flyers is quite hard and challenging.

Lagrangian controllability at low Reynolds number [PDF]
In this paper, we establish a result of Lagrangian controllability for a fluid at low Reynolds number, driven by the stationary Stokes equation. This amounts to the possibility of displacing a part of a fluid from one zone to another by suitably using a ...

Reynolds number calculation and applications for curved wall jets [PDF]
The current paper refers to the preliminary estimation of the Reynolds number for curved wall jets. This, in turn, can be a useful tool for controlling the boundary layer mesh size near a generic curved wall which is wetted by a thin, attached jet.

Geometrically Nonlinear Static Analysis of High-Aspect-Ratio Truss-Braced Wing
Truss-braced wings (TBWs) feature higher aspect ratios with a lighter weight and lower bending moment than conventional wings. These wings show significant potential for performance improvements in terms of fuel efficiency.

Reynolds Number Scaling of the Propulsive Performance of a Pitching Airfoil
Simulations of symmetrical NACA airfoils pitching about their quarter chord point are presented to investigate the scaling of their performance metrics, especially their dependence on Reynolds numb...

Design of a control system for a 1.5 m diameter coaxial rigid rotor model
As a key equipment for rotor wind tunnel testing, the design specifications and control accuracy of the rotor test bench directly determine the testing accuracy and effectiveness of the rotor wind tunnel testing.

Low Reynolds Number Rotor Blade Aerodynamic Analysis
Maintaining a steady hover flight in a rotorcraft usually requires high energy input. The aim of the paper is to prove that it is possible to vastly reduce energy use in a rotorcraft by reducing the disc loading.

Self-similar decay of high Reynolds number Taylor-Couette turbulence [PDF]
We study the decay of high-Reynolds number Taylor-Couette turbulence, i.e. the turbulent flow between two coaxial rotating cylinders. To do so, the rotation of the inner cylinder (Re$_i=2 \times 10^6$, the outer cylinder is at rest) is stopped within 12 ...

Numerical Validation of a Multi-Dimensional Similarity Law for Scaled STOVL Aircraft Models
The complex jet-ground interactions of Short Take-off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft are critical to flight safety and performance, yet studying them with traditional full-scale wind tunnel tests is prohibitively expensive and time-consuming ...
