Numerical Investigation of Drag and Lift Forces on Turbulent Flow on an Airfoil Shaped Body at Different Angles of Attack
Abstract: Numerical analysis of drag and lift force on an airfoil shaped body at different angles is presented. Fundamentals of aircraft design are provided with detailed estimation of the aerodynamic drag and lift of airfoil is presented. This work presents the configuration optimization of an aerofoil body in air using SST computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and compared with the experimental result. The governing equations are solved with a finite-volume-based numerical …

Effect of Flexibility on Aircraft Wing
Abstract: The shape of the aerofoil determines how the air circulates around it and how much moment and force will be the acting on it. When the body is rigid (fixed) flow around the geometry remains unchanged at particular A.O.A. (angle of attack), but if the body is allowed to be flexible (free) i.e., it can deform its shape, due to which there will be a significant change in the shape …

Effective efficiency of return flow solar air heater
Abstract: In this paper, the effective efficiency of a return flow solar collector with artificial roughness in the form of V shaped ribs is presented as a function of parameters pertaining to roughness like angle of attack (α), and relative roughness height (e/D) and other relevant operating parameters. Analytical methods were used & governing energy balance equations are used to evaluate results. Plots on these aspects have been presented and discussed …

Projections of Natural Absorption in Three-Dimensional Behind Phase into Turboprop Circulation
Abstract: Designed to enhance fuel-air mixing at supersonic speeds is one of the most difficult issues in the design of scramjet engine combustors. Various experiments and investigations were considered to boost fuel-air mixture in supersonic air streams. In this analysis, phase effects on transverse gaseous hydrogen injection into supersonic crossflow are examined numerically. Three-dimensional Reynolds Combined Navier-Stokes equations and k- sst turbulence model and perfect gas equation were numerically solved. Current …

A Brief Introduction on the Electrokinetic Mixing and Separation in Microfluidic Systems
Abstract: Electrokinetics encompasses the analysis of fluid or particle motion in the electrical field; includes electroosmosis, electrophoresis, dielectrophoresis, electro-wetting, etc. Electrokinetic applications in the production of microfluidic systems have become quite attractive over the last decade. Electro-kinetic systems usually do not need any additional mechanical moving parts and may be made compact by removing the power source with a small battery. Electro-kinetic based microfluidic systems may also serve as a feasible …

Non-Newtonian Power-law Fluid Flows for Shear Thinning Viscosity in a T junction Channel
Abstract: In this paper, non-Newtonian fluid flow behaviors are analyzed in a two-dimensional T junction channel using Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM). The LBM has been built up on the D2Q9 model, and the single-relaxation-time (SRT) method called the Lattice-BGK (Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook) model. The flow patterns are analogous to blood flows in branched arteries for T junction flows. Firstly, the code validation has been occurred for the Newto-nian fluid flows by comparing the accessible …

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 …
