Dynamics of Laminar Separation Bubbles on Low Reynolds Number Airfoils
This is a detailed study on the aerodynamics of low Reynolds number airfoils. E387 airfoil that comes under the category of trailing-edge stall is used extensively in this study. The reduction in lift due to low Reynolds ... -
Emergence and Propagation of Aerodynamic Instabilities in Centrifugal Compressors with Vaned Diffusers: Effect of Solidity and Stagger
Centrifugal compressors are widely employed in turbochargers and small gas turbines due to their ability to achieve high compression per stage. These compressors consist of a rotating impeller and a static diffuser, which ... -
On Flow Physics of Spinning Samaras
A particular form of winged seed (samara) dispersal technique adopted by nature uses autorotative (unpowered rotation of the wing generating thrust force against gravity) descent; for eg. in Maple and Mahagony trees. ... -
Supercritical CO2 Power Cycles and Turbomachinery Development for Renewable Energy and Waste Heat Recovery
Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) power cycles have transitioned from the kilowatt level pilot facilities to the megawatt level demonstration plants. Theoretical studies and commercial benefits associated with sCO2, such ...
