Aerification Tine Effects on Tifway Bermudagrass Athletic Fields
(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
(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
(2023-12-04)
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
(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
