Simulation of Flow Vorticity and Instability Analysis in a Solid Rocket Motor
Abstract: Combustion instability is a major problem in most solid rocket motor (SRM) during its operation. More form of instability is generated due to several factors like coupling of combustion acoustic waves with flow dynamics, grain configuration, combustion chamber design, combustible mixture, etc. This type of flow turbulence is sustained in such system for long durations and leads to failure of the mission. In this paper, an effort has been made …

Vibrational Wind Turbine Design
Abstract: This work focuses on the study and analysis of bladeless wind turbines (BWT) as an alternative to operating vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT) and horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT). A mathematical analysis of the BWT oscillation under wind force allows the development of specific mathematical expressions for the oscillation speed and BWT mast displacement at any height. The oscillation movement is submitted to a Strouhal constant number condition, resulting in an algorithm …
