13. Virtual boundary method applied to a problem of computational aerolastic analysis / Método da fronteira virtual aplicado em um problema de análise aeroelástica computacional
The behavior study of a profile of a typical aerolastic section, with Reynolds in range of micro aerial vehicle, is the main focus of this work, taking as objective the estimation of parameters of flutter phenomenon. The research analyzes of the flow of a incompressible fluid on a body (cylinder and airfoil profile) at steady state and oscillating with const

14. An Eulerian Immersed Boundary Method for flow simulations over stationary and moving rigid bodies
The fluid flow over bodies with complex geometry has been the subject of research of many scientists and widely explored experimentally and numerically. The present study proposes an Eulerian Immersed Boundary Method for flows simulations over stationary or moving rigid bodies. The proposed method allows the use of Cartesians Meshes. Here, two-dimensional si

16. Aerodynamic coefficient prediction using neural networks.
The present work discusses the application of neural networks for the accurate prediction of aerodynamic coefficients of airfoil and wing-body configurations. Meta-models based on neural-network are able to handle non-linear problems with a large amount of variables. In this highlight, an efficient methodology employing neural networks for predicting aerodyn

17. Numerical simulation of two-dimensional complex flows around bluff bodies using the immersed boundary method
This paper presents a two-dimensional numerical simulation of flows around different bluff bodies, at Re = 100 and 200, using the Immersed Boundary (IB) method, as a sequence of a previous work. The force density term required by the IB method is obtained with the Virtual Physical Model (VPM). Simulations were carried out for two circular cylinders of differ

18. Gas-surface interaction effect on round leading edge aerothermodynamics
Effects of incomplete surface accommodation in rarefied gas flow have been studied by using the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method in conjunction with the Cercignani-Lampis-Lord gas surface interaction model. The DSMC calculations examine differences in predictions of aerodynamic forces and heat transfer between full and partial surface accommodatio

19. Estudo em túnel de vento do arrasto aerodinâmico sobre torres treliçadas de linhas de transmissão / Wind tunnel study of the aerodynamic drag forces on transmission lines lattice towers
Estruturas treliçadas de linhas de transmissão submetidas à ação do vento têm sido utilizadas de forma rotineira em aplicações da engenharia estrutural há mais de um século. Entretanto, o conhecimento dos efeitos do vento sobre este tipo de estrutura é, ainda hoje, imperfeito e as prescrições das normas a respeito destes efeitos são, em muitos

20. Effects of compressibility on aerodynamic surface quantities over low-density hypersonic wedge flow
Hypersonic flow past truncated wedges at zero incidence in thermal non-equilibrium is investigated for a range of Mach number from 5 to 12. The simulations were performed by using a Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) Method. The study focuses the attention of designers of hypersonic configurations on the fundamental parameter of bluntness, which can have a

22. Direct Simulation Monte Carlo Method Applied to Aerothermodynamics
An axisymmetric supersonic flow of rarefied gas past a finite cylinder was calculated applying the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. The drag force, the coefficients of pressure, of skin friction, and of heat transfer, the fields of density, of temperature, and of velocity were calculated as function of the Reynolds number for a fixed Mach number. The va

23. Experimental analysis of pressure drop and flow redistribution in axial flows in rod bundles
Fuel elements of PWR type nuclear reactors consist of rod bundles, arranged in a square array, and held by spacer grids. The coolant flows, mainly, axially along the rods. Although such elements are laterally open, experiments are performed in closed type test sections, originating the appearance of subchannels with different geometries. In the present work,

24. Microhydrodynamics simulation of protein crystallization. I. Static calculations.
A computer simulation method is proposed to study the effects of hydrodynamic interactions on protein crystallization. It is a combination of Stokesian dynamics and continuum hydrodynamics and is referred to as "microhydrodynamics." The method is checked against analytical expressions for Stokes drag and diffusion coefficients for unit spheres. For a number
