Aerification Tine Effects on Tifway Bermudagrass Athletic Fields 

Rainey, Garlon (2009-04-15)
Although commonly practiced, there is little research examining the effect of aerification tine type (hollow or solid) and length on athletic fields. The objective of this research was to evaluate different aerification ...

Aerodynamic Analysis of a Morphing Wing Using Vorticity Based Solver 

Sathe, Shivaranjani (2019-07-16)
This study addresses an efficient approach to analyzing Variable Camber continuous trailing edge flaps (VCCTEF) wings, which mimics the concept of morphing or shape changing wings. The validation model used in this research ...

Aerodynamic loads and flow structures on a simultaneously rotating and pitching flat plate 

Qamar, Muhammad Shahan (2023-12-04)  ETD File Embargoed
Unsteady flow separation and leading-edge vortices (LEV) profoundly impact the aerodynamics of insect wings, helicopter rotor blades, and similar systems. The dynamics of such systems depend on wing pitch rate and pivot ...

Aerodynamic loads over arbitrary bodies by method of integrated circulation 

Ahuja, Vivek (2013-07-24)
A method for the application of vorticity based potential-flow solvers to unstructured surface meshes has been created. This method is designed to maintain the advantages of the vorticity based solvers while removing the ...

Aerodynamic Optimization for Freight Trucks Using a Genetic Algorithm and CFD 

Doyle, Joshua (2007-12-15)
A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code is being combined with a genetic algorithm (GA) to perform a two-dimensional drag minimization study on tractor trailers. This paper involves the minimization of drag on two different ...

Aerodynamic Optimization of Integrated Wing-Engine Geometry Using an Unstructured Vorticity Solver 

King, Logan (2015-05-29)
A high fidelity surface vorticity solver in conjunction with an optimizer is used to find optimal solutions for engine integration. The case study for this paper is an aerodynamically optimized engine configuration added ...

Aerodynamic Testing of a Circular Planform Concept Aircraft 

Recktenwald, Bryan (2008-08-15)
Auburn University has entered into collaboration with Geobat Flying Saucer Aviation Inc. for aerodynamic and flow visualization studies of the Geobat aircraft. The aircraft model that was tested consisted of a circular ...

Aerodynamics of Wings in Tandem at Low Reynolds Numbers 

Shah, Syed Hassan Raza (2023-12-07)  ETD File Embargoed
The aerodynamic interactions between two wings of NACA0012 section arranged in tandem configuration were experimentally investigated at low Reynolds number of 20,000 and 100,000 in the wind tunnel and water tunnel. The ...

Aerodynamics of Wrap-Around Fins in Supersonic Flow 

Wilks, Brett (2005-12-15)
Existing supersonic fin theory has been modified to compute the pressure distribution over a wrap-around fin. Evvard’s theory has been used to calculate the pressure loading due to angle-of-attack on a wrap-around fin by ...
