Effect of Active Trailing Edge Motion Upon Airfoil Energy Harvester

Creator:: Strahl, Jordan D.
Abstract:: The application of a flapping foil with prescribed trailing edge motion to energy harvesting in a low reduced frequency (k = fc/U∞) regime was experimentally studied. The effects of the phase and amplitude of the applied trailing edge motion upon time-variant power extraction capability have been measured and are interpreted....

Lateral fluid motion in nucleate boiling through asymmetric surface structures

Creator:: Kapsenberg, Florian
Abstract:: This thesis presents a feasibility study of a means to passively effect liquid motion parallel to a heated surface though surface geometrical modifications. Such a passive system is beneficial for electronics cooling applications as it reduces the pumping equipment normally required in flow loops and is desired for space applications,...

Fluid forces on and flow configurations around a circular cylinder near a plane boundary

Creator:: Tavolacci, Don
Abstract:: The flow configurations around and the forces acting on a circular cylinder with its axis parallel to a nearby plane boundary and subjected to a uniform flow were investigated. The flow conditions, which were perpendicular to the cylinder axis and parallel to the plane boundary were investigated experimentally and theoretically....

An experimental study of the fluid mechanics of filling a small part of modular mold

Creator:: Miller, Mark Wade, 1967-
Abstract:: Investment casting has been an important form of metal casting for many years, but little is understood about the fluid flows that occur during mold filling. A key to quality castings is the understanding and control of the fluid flows that are present when the mold is filled with molten...

Mechanics of Nb-Ti superconducting composites

Creator:: Guo, Zhiqiang
Abstract:: Mechanical behavior of Nb-Ti superconducting composites with copper matrices have been studied experimentally and theoretically. Experimental work includes extensive measurements of Cu/Nb-Ti composite system. Techniques for fine fiber testing and composite wire measurement have been developed. Experimental parameters examined in this research include geometry, hardness, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield...

A study of the characteristics of oscillatory surface instabilities leading to droplet formation

Creator:: Daniels, Brian J.
Abstract:: The characteristics of the free surface in an orifice driven by a periodic forcing function have been studied both theoretically and experimentally. In the theoretical study, two wall boundary condition cases were examined: 1) the radial velocity at the wall of the orifice is zero; and 2) the axial velocity...

An experimental/analytical investigation of buoyant jets in shallow water

Creator:: Hsiao, Entsung
Abstract:: This thesis presents the results of an experimental and analytical study of single-port buoyant turbulent jets discharged into shallow water. The experimental results include the measured downstream dilution, centerline concentration and trajectory. Independent parameters considered were Froude number, submerged depth, discharge angle and velocity ratio. Results indicate that decreasing the...

The effects of pulsing and blowing ratio on a 45° inclined jet in cross flow

Creator:: Stander, Arjan
Abstract:: The effect of jet flow pulsing and blowing ratio on a jet in cross flow has been investigated. Preliminary jet flow studies were performed without cross flow and an extensive study of jet with cross flow was done for a total of nine test cases. The effect of velocities ratios...
