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

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 ...

Aerosol Filtration Performance of Novel 3-Dimensional Nonwoven Composites 

Karwa, Amogh (2012-01-30)
