A thick aerodynamic profile with regions of negative lift slope and possible implications on profiles for wind turbine blades

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 162-173, February 2021., 2021
Abstract In the high pressure wind tunnel (HochDruckkanal Goettingen [HDG]) of Deutsch–Niederländische Windkanäle—German–Dutch Wind Tunnels (DNW) a 47% thick airfoil‐like symmetrical profile was investigated at a high (3 to 12 million) Reynolds number. As an unusual feature, a negative lift slope dcL/dα < 0 close to zero lift has been re‐observed under

Weak Solutions and Optimal Control of Hemivariational Evolutionary Navier‐Stokes Equations under Rauch Condition

open access: yesJournal of Function Spaces, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
In this paper, we consider the evolutionary Navier‐Stokes equations subject to the nonslip boundary condition together with a Clarke subdifferential relation between the dynamic pressure and the normal component of the velocity. Under the Rauch condition, we use the Galerkin approximation method and a weak precompactness criterion to ensure the ...

Hydromechanics of low-Reynolds-number flow. Part 4. Translation of spheroids [PDF]

open access: yes, 1976
The problem of a uniform transverse flow past a prolate spheroid of arbitrary aspect ratio at low Reynolds numbers has been analysed by the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The solution is found to depend on two Reynolds numbers, one based on the

Simple Viscous Flows: from Boundary Layers to the Renormalization Group [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The seemingly simple problem of determining the drag on a body moving through a very viscous fluid has, for over 150 years, been a source of theoretical confusion, mathematical paradoxes, and experimental artifacts, primarily arising from the complex ...

The leading effect of fluid inertia on the motion of rigid bodies at low Reynolds number [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We investigate the influence of fluid inertia on the motion of a finite assemblage of solid spherical particles in slowly changing uniform flow at small Reynolds number, Re, and moderate Strouhal number, Sl. We show that the first effect of fluid inertia

The hydrodynamic force on a rigid particle undergoing arbitrary time-dependent motion at small Reynolds number [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
The hydrodynamic force acting on a rigid spherical particle translating with arbitrary time-dependent motion in a time-dependent flowing fluid is calculated to O(Re) for small but finite values of the Reynolds number, Re, based on the particle's slip ...

Transport of flexible chiral objects in a uniform shear flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The transport of slightly deformable chiral objects in a uniform shear flow is investigated. Depending on the equilibrium configuration one finds up to four different asymptotic states that can be distinguished by a lateral drift velocity of their center

Singularity methods for magnetohydrodynamics

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 111-122, 1986., 1986
Singular solutions for linearized MHD equations based on Oseen approximations have been obtained such as Oseenslet. Oseenrotlet, mass source, etc. By suitably distributing these singular solutions along the axes of symmetry of an axially symmetric bodies, we derive the approximate values for the velocity fields, the force and the momentum for the case ...

WCSPH viscosity diffusion processes in vortex flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The aim of this paper is to clarify the role played by the most commonly used viscous terms in simulating viscous laminar flows using the weakly compressible approach in the context of smooth particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH). To achieve this, Takeda et al.
