Aerodynamic Flow Separation Control Using Active Flow Devices
Abstract: Flow separation remains a significant challenge in aerodynamic applications, often leading to increased drag, loss of lift, and reduced efficiency in air and ground vehicles. This study investigates the use of active flow control (AFC) devices to mitigate flow separation and enhance aerodynamic performance. Active methods such as synthetic jets, plasma actuators, and pulsed blowing are examined for their ability to dynamically manipulate boundary layer behavior and delay or suppress …

Robust Design of Subsonic Airfoil by Multi-Objective Six Sigma Approach
Abstract: It is well known that aerodynamic performance of a UAV is very sensitive to the wing shape and flight conditions, and inevitable uncertainties such as wing manufacturing errors and wind variations may lead to drastic deterioration in its aerodynamic performance. In the UAV wing design, therefore, it is required not to use the conventional design optimization approach considering only optimality of performance at the design point, but to use the …

The Decision of the Maximum Synchronous Torque During the Solar Array Deployment Using the Closed Cable Loop
Abstract: It was a long time since mankind explored and studied the universe, but the early-age power sources have not changed a lot over that period. Solar panels have been used long ago and are still in use today. However, their efficiency has improved considerably. Large and complicated solar arrays are now used instead of simply attaching the panels directly on the face of the satellite. A solar array is essential …

Routing Protocols in FANETs with Future Enhancements
Abstract: Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs), which are swarms of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), are an emerging solution which revolutionized the area of mission-critical and infrastructure-less communication systems. These networks provide real-time data transfer for use cases such as disaster relief, battlefield observation, environmental monitoring, and 6G-based smart cities. However, the dynamic profile of FANETs, which is defined by high 3D mobility, limited energy resources, unstable wireless links, and constant topology …
