1. Numerical Simulation of a Pitching Airfoil Under Dynamic Stall of Low Reynolds Number Flow
ABSTRACT: In this research, viscous, unsteady and turbulent fluid flow is simulated numerically around a pitching NACA0012 airfoil in the dynamic stall area. The Navier-Stokes equations are discretized based on the finite volume method and are solved by the PIMPLE algorithm in the open source software, namely OpenFOAM. The SST k - ω model is used as the tur

2. SIMULATION OF THERMAL DECOMPOSITION IN AN OPEN CAVITY: ENTROPY ANALYSIS
ABSTRACT This paper presents a numerical analysis of entropy generation in a two-dimensional rectangular channel where the inlet flow undergoes thermal decomposition resulting from a chemical reaction. The model considered viscosity and thermal conductivity to be dependent of temperature. Irreversibility due to mass transport was included in the entropy gene

3. EFFECT OF STEEL PLATE THICKNESSES AND FLUID FLOW CHARACTERISTICS OF AN IMPINGING AIR JET ON HEAT TRANSFER AT THE STAGNATION POINT
ABSTRACT The design and process of heat transfer elements, from its source to heat sink through various media vary according to the product and system concerned. The effect of thickness of a steel plate on heat transfer characteristics with an impinging air jet at the stagnation point was studied. Experiments were carried out with different nozzles, heights,

5. Effects of Bio-Inspired Surface Roughness on a Swept Back Tapered NACA 4412 Wing
ABSTRACT: This paper presents the overall pros and cons of the effect of surface roughness elements over a NACA 4412 tapered, swept back half wing with a sweep angle of 30º and a dihedral angle of 5º. The tests were conducted at a Reynolds number of 4 × 105 in the IIUM Low Speed wind tunnel. Different roughness sizes and roughness locations were tested fo

6. Estimativa do coeficiente de transferência de massa de oxigênio com o uso da técnica das sondas solúveis flutuantes: um estudo de laboratório
RESUMO A sonda solúvel flutuante (SSF) é considerada uma técnica de baixo custo para a estimativa do coeficiente de transferência de massa de oxigênio na interface ar-água (KL). Essa técnica se baseia no fato que KL pode ser correlacionado com a velocidade de dissolução do sólido solúvel (VS), uma vez que ambos os parâmetros são influenciados pe

7. Wind Tunnel Investigation of the Wind Patterns in the Launching Pad Area of the Brazilian Alcântara Launch Center
ABSTRACT This paper presents a wind tunnel study of the flow patterns in the main Brazilian Space Port, the Alcântara Launch Center (ALC), located in the Northwest region, over an irregular coastal cliff of 40 m height. In the ALC region, constant winds of strong incidence are very common, which can change the characteristics of the atmospheric boundary lay

8. Improvement of Airfoils Aerodynamic Efficiency by Thermal Camber Phenomenon at Low Reynolds Number
ABSTRACT: In this research, viscous, laminar and steady flow around symmetric and non-symmetric airfoils is simulated at Low Reynolds Number (LRN). Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations are discretized by Finite Volume Method (FVM) and are solved by the SIMPLE algorithm in an open source software, namely OpenFOAM. The main objective of this paper is the introduction

9. Dynamics of a Small Unmanned Aircraft Parachute System
ABSTRACT: Parachute Systems (PS) can be readily used by small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for risk mitigation and aircraft recovery. To date there has been limited research into the fundamental dynamics of parachutes at low Reynolds numbers, with existing studies focusing on larger parachutes. An understanding of the dynamics is needed to establish sound

10. Aerofoil Design for Unmanned High-Altitude Aft-Swept Flying Wings
ABSTRACT In this paper, 12 new aerofoils with varying thicknesses for an aft-swept flying wing unmanned air vehicle have been designed using a MATLAB tool which has been developed in-house. The tool consists of 2 parts in addition to the aerodynamic solver XFOIL. The first part generates the aerofoil section geometry using a combination of PARSEC and Bezier-

11. Detailed Numerical Study on the Aerodynamic Behavior of a Gurney Flapped Airfoil in the Ultra-low Reynolds Regime
ABSTRACT: The addition of Gurney flap changes the nature of flow around airfoil by producing asymmetric Von-Karman vortex in its wake. Most of the investigations on Gurney flapped airfoils have modeled the flow using a quasi-steady approach, resulting in time-averaged values with no information on the unsteady features of the flow. Among these, some investig

12. Two-dimensional Flow of Power-law Fluids over a Pair of Cylinders in a Side-by-Side Arrangement in the Laminar Regime
Abstract This manuscript presents the effect of Reynolds number (Re) and proximity of the bodies on the hydrodynamics of flow of shear-thinning, Newtonian and shear-thickening fluids over a pair of cylinders kept in side-by-side arrangement. Results obtained from the numerical simulations carried out with a combination of different parameters in the range of
