CFD Analysis of NACA 2412 and NACA 2412 with Passage for Lift Augmentation
Abstract: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of a three dimensional (3-D) National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 2412 airfoil was compared with same dimensional 3-D NACA 2412 with internal passage. The computational domain was composed of 2109509 elements for NACA 2412 and 2258962 elements for NACA 2412 with internal passage. Calculations were done for various Mach numbers by varying the angle of attack constant for above mentioned turbulence model. The flow …

Experimental Investigation of Lift forNACA 2412 Airfoil without Internal Passage with NACA 2412 Airfoil with Internal Passage in a Subsonic Wind Tunnel
Abstract: Wind tunnel experiments were carried out in a subsonic wind tunnel in Fluid Mechanics Laboratory at MITCOE, Pune. The objective of this research was to compare the experimental coefficient of lift and drag for a NACA 2412 airfoil with that for NACA 2412 airfoil with internal passage. Both the airfoils were of same dimensions and profile. The chord length (c) was 100 mm and the span (b) was 100 mm. …

Vortex-Induced Vibration of a Circular Cylinder at Low and Subcritical Reynolds Numbers-Part I: Low Reynolds Numbers
Abstract: The vortex-induced vibration of a circular cylinder at low and low subcritical Reynolds numbers is studied numerically over wide ranges of the influencing parameters. The cylinder dynamics is modeled using a spring-damper-mass system and the fluid dynamics is simulated using the two-dimensional approximation. An implicit, collocated moving grid finite volume algorithm implemented on an unstructured triangular mesh is adopted to solve the fluid dynamic equations. The numerical simulation confirms that …

Design and Analysis of MEMS based Piezoelectric Accelerometer Having Square Shaped Proof Mass
Abstract: In any spacecraft launching program, the most prominent issue is to locate the spacecraft or satellite, in particular orbit of any particular planet. Now, while making the position of that spacecraft in space, abrupt changes in velocity occur and these velocity changes can break the controlling circuitry of the system since the velocity changes occur at very high environmental pressure. The designed device converts the deflections due to mentioned pressure …

Fuzzy Logic Controlled Shunt Active Power Filter for Constant Frequency Aircraft Power System in Balanced and Unbalanced Loads Conditions
Abstract: Synchronous reference frame technique for extracting reference currents for shunt active power filters has been assessed for 400 Hz aircraft electric power system. From that point forward, its performance has been compared when optimized using fuzzy logic control. Critical analysis of comparisons of the compensation ability of these two techniques based on THD and compensation time will be done, and suggestions will be given for the selection of the best …

Static Analysis of 4-Blade Marine Propeller
Abstract: Ships and underwater vehicles like submarine and torpedoes use propeller for propulsion. In general, propellers are used as propulsions and they are also used to progress significant plunge to propel the vehicle at its operational speed and RPM. Much has been said and published on the development of the marine propeller from the time of antiquity to the present age, but there is more to be done. This paper describes …
