  • The energy extraction performance of an oscillating rigid and flexible foil

    Creator:
    Totpal, Alexander D.
    Abstract:
    The aerodynamic performance of an oscillating pitching and plunging foil operating in the energy harvesting mode is investigated. Experiments are conducted in a closed-loop recirculating wind tunnel at Reynolds numbers of 24,000 to 48,000, and reduced frequencies (k = fc/u) of 0.042 to 0.083. Foil kinematics are varied through the...

  • Flow visualization for wake formation under solitary wave flow

    Creator:
    Seiffert, Betsy Rose
    Abstract:
    The use of data extracted from particle image velocimetry (PIV) along with vector and tensor visualization techniques provides a valuable tool for understanding a complex flow field. By studying a simple geometric structure such as a cylinder under a simple transient waveform, fundamental mechanisms of wake development under solitary wave...

  • Interactive 3D line integral convolution on the GPU

    Creator:
    Lakshmanan, Vasumathi
    Abstract:
    The Line Integral Convolution (LIC) is a mainstay of flow visualization. It is, however, computationally intensive, which limits its interactivity. Also, when used to view three-dimensional (3D) vector fields, the resulting images are dense and cluttered, making it difficult to perceive the flow on the interior parts of the field....
