  • Simulation of drag reduction due to multi-aligned spheres

    Creator:
    Lindqvist, Varna
    Abstract:
    A method was sought to predict the flight paths and collisions for closely spaced ink droplets of various sizes as a design aid for ink-jet printing development. Computational fluid dynamics models of two rigid aligned spheres, as a proxy for ink droplets, were initiated in atmospheric pressure air at constant...

  • Study of Energy Harvesting Performance of Oscillating Airfoils using a Discrete Vortex Model

    Creator:
    Kamrani Fard, Kiana
    Abstract:
    The energy harvesting performance of oscillating airfoils is studied using a discrete vortex model (DVM) with a leading-edge separation criterion. The airfoil undergoes a combined sinusoidal heaving and pitching motion at reduced frequencies of k = 0.06 − 0.16, with heaving amplitude of h0 = 0.5c, and pitching amplitude of...
