Unsteady Propulsion by an Intermittent Swimming Gait

, 2017
Inviscid computational results are presented on a self-propelled swimmer modeled as a virtual body combined with a two-dimensional hydrofoil pitching intermittently about its leading edge.

Theoretical analysis of perching and hovering maneuvers [PDF]

, 2013
Unsteady aerodynamic phenomena are encountered in a large number of modern aerospace and non-aerospace applications. Leading edge vortices (LEVs) are of particular interest because of their large impact on the forces and performance.

Radiation‐Absorptive Heat Transport in Buoyancy‐Driven MHD Nanofluids Flow With Cross‐Diffusion and Chemical Interaction Effects Over a Vertical Moving Plate

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article investigates the Soret–Dufour cross‐diffusion effects on radiation‐absorptive unsteady free‐convection of magnetized nanofluids (TiO2–water$$ {\mathrm{TiO}}_2\hbox{--} \mathrm{water} $$ and Cu–water$$ \mathrm{Cu}\hbox{--} \mathrm{water} $$) flow over a vertical moving permeable plate.

On the importance of including both sexes in animal studies – insights from home‐cage monitoring

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A review of behavioural studies using home‐cage monitoring (HCM) systems revealed that over 61% of studies used only male subjects, with only 24% including both sexes, despite evidence of substantial behavioural differences between male and female animals. This bias could influence the outcomes of biomedical research.

Vortical Structure and Aerodynamics of Hawkmoth Hovering

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2006
A multi-block-and overset grid-based computational fluid dynamic (CFD) study is conducted for the unsteady flows about a realistic body-wing model and the force-generation in the flapping flight of hawkmoth hovering.

Methodological Approach for Particle Transport: Analyzing Influential Factors and Comparing Simulation Software

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
This study determines the dust filtration behavior of venting tubes in automotive headlights. Numerical simulations using Meshfree and STAR‐CCM+ and suitable experiments were conducted to analyze the airflow field, the particle transport, and the filtration efficiency.

Application of Ultrasonic Sensors for Determining the Height of Dynamic Two‐Phase Layers in Tray Columns

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
Ultrasonic sensors are evaluated for their applicability in dynamic gas–liquid systems. By comparing sensor data with two independent optical reference methods, their robustness and reliability are demonstrated under varying flow conditions and tray geometries in column systems.

Fluid-structure interaction enhances the aerodynamic performance of flapping wings: a computational study

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2018
Insect wings change its shape passively by the aerodynamic and inertial forces when flapping, which can greatly affect its aerodynamic performances. In order to confirm the importance of the fluid-structure interaction in flapping wing aerodynamics, we ...
