  • Leading Edge Separation Analysis of Oscillating Airfoil Energy Harvesters

    Creator:
    Ngo, Vickie
    Abstract:
    Oscillating foil energy harvesters are analyzed at optimal reduced frequencies (𝑘=𝑓𝑐/𝑈) to determine how the leading edge radius of curvature affects leading edge separation. The understanding of leading edge separation and its behaviors is critical to predicting the transient lift profile of an airfoil. The separation is therefore also critical...

  • Turbulent Combustion Analysis of Large Hydrocarbon Fuels in a Reduced Pressure Environment

    Creator:
    Schorn, Nathan E.
    Abstract:
    The aviation industry is pushing for better fuels and gas turbine engines for several reasons: cost, emissions, and to a lesser extent high-altitude relights. One aspect that research has been focused on to help reduce costs, emissions and better understand high-altitude relights is studying the combustion behavior of the fuel...
