Rotordynamics is an important area in mechanical engineering. Many machines contain rotating parts. It is well known that rotating components can develop large amplitude lateral vibrations near certain speeds called critical ...

Plasma actuators are devices which function by creating a discharge in air at atmospheric conditions. These devices have been demonstrated to effectively delay flow separation and enhance the lift- drag characteristics of ...

The present study focusses on vortex breakdown (VB), which occurs in axially convected swirling flows and is characterized by the development of an internal stagnation point and regions of reverse flow. VB has been ...
