Experimental Design Approach for Evaluation of Airfoil-Driven Energy Harvesting

Creator:: Strahl, Jordan D.
Abstract:: An experimental setup has been partially developed to investigate the impact of an actively controlled trailing edge component upon the energy harvesting performance of an oscillating airfoil in a pitching and heaving regime. While previous and current efforts have and continue to function to characterize the performance of such a...

Trailing Edge Flap Optimization for an Upper-Surface Blown Aircraft Wing

Creator:: Kelly, Bryan R.
Abstract:: Integrated Distributed Electric Augmented Lift (IDEAL) applies upper surface blowing in a novel way to achieve electric short take-off and landing to meet the growing need for urban air transportation. Additional research on propulsion airframe interaction (PAI) with trailing edge flaps at low Reynolds numbers was necessary to advance the...

Multi-Scale Study of Ember Production and Transport under Multiple Environmental and Fuel Conditions

Creator:: Hudson, Tyler R.
Abstract:: Spot fires caused by lofted embers (i.e., firebrands) can be a significant factor in the spread of wildland fires. Embers can be especially dangerous near the wildland-urban interface (WUI) because of the potential for the fire to be spread near or on structures. Many studies have investigated the transport of...

A Field Study on Marching Band Members' Workload Assessment

Creator:: Wells, Robyn R.
Abstract:: Marching band activities consist of both physically and cognitively demanding tasks. The demands that this activity has on players has largely been unstudied. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of players’ experience level, role, and gender on the workload of marching band players via a field...

Post-Preservation Maintenance of Cadavers to Prevent Tissue-Dehydration in Educational Environments

Creator:: Herrera, Alexandria R.
Abstract:: In anatomical education, clinicians, surgeons, and anatomists support the use of human cadavers over digital or artificial alternatives. Cadaver use raises the challenge of preventing tissue dehydration. The OSU cadaver labs attempt to maintain hydration by re-covering the exposed tissues with original skin, layers of plastic wrap, and/or towels and...

Comparing Delay and Reflected Inertia for an Actuated Spring Loaded Inverted Pendulum Model

Creator:: Reinschmidt, Kurt W.
Abstract:: Legged robots, while advancing quickly, have far to go before they can recover from major disturbances safely and consistently. Reflected inertia, which affects how quickly the actuators can physically respond to an environmental disturbance, and delay, which describes the time necessary for the controller to sense, re-plan, and respond to...

Modeling hop kilning with respect to energy consumption and drying kinetics

Creator:: Thomas, Matthew W.
Abstract:: Currently, little work has been performed studying energy consumption in hop kilning. This thesis explores drying with an alternative drying schedule that extends the initially elevated drying temperature currently used by growers and examines its impact on drying time and energy use. Extending the time of the initially elevated drying...

Comparison of the Accuracy and Applicability of Forebody Wake Effect Models for Parachute System Design

Creator:: Kemling, Gabriel H. and Blunck, David L.
Abstract:: The forebody wake effect (FWE) is important to consider when designing parachute systems because it can affect parachute performance. Parachutes work by altering the aerodynamic properties of an attached forebody to control a descent. The FWE can reduce parachute drag, causing the system to descend faster than desired. This drag...

Melting Stage Analysis for Indirect Freeze Desalination

Creator:: Pratt, Mason G.
Abstract:: To investigate the melting stage of indirect freeze desalination three numerical models were developed. A zeroth, ﬁrst, and second order analyses modeled the melting of ice around the outside of a pipe as a function of time. The zeroth order analysis assumes the system to be steady state. The ﬁrst...

Temperature Evolution of Nonreacting Spark Kernels at Sub-Atmospheric Pressures

Creator:: Caplan, Daniel L.
Abstract:: In the event of a mid-flight flameout of a gas turbine engine, reignition is paramount to occupant safety. Ignition at high altitude can be challenging, due in part to the potentially lower ambient pressures. An understanding of the effects of sub-atmospheric pressures on the temperature evolution of spark kernels is...
