Existence of Tachyons and their Detection
Abstract: It is felt by many that faster-than-light particles (tachyons) exist though none has been detected so far; this lack of evidence raises some doubt as to whether such particles exist. However, it may not be possible to detect these faster-than-light particles even if they exist. Is there any possibility at all in detecting these particles, if they exist? This paper ponders the existence of tachyons and introduces some possibilities for …

Flow Simulation and Experimental Comparative Study of Aerodynamic Forces on NACA 2415 Airfoil Scaled Model
Abstract: Aerodynamic force, which would be brought upon by the relative motion of an object and the airflow, is the force that the air in which the body is submerged exerts on the body. The normal force resulting from force on the body's surface and the shear force resulting from airflow viscosity, also known as skin friction, are the two sources of aerodynamic force. Shear force is applied locally and parallel …
