Numerical Analysis of Opposed Rows of Coolant Jets Injected into a Heated Crossflow
The mixing characteristics of coolant air jets with the hot gas exiting the gas turbine combustor’s primary zone is of major importance to the combustor exit temperature profile. In the present work, a three dimensional numerical simulation on the basis of the finite volume method was developed. The aim was to investigate the penetration and mixing characteristics of directly opposed rows of co...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Optimization of chiral structures for microscale propulsion.
Recent advances in micro- and nanoscale fabrication techniques allow for the construction of rigid, helically shaped microswimmers that can be actuated using applied magnetic fields. These swimmers represent the first steps toward the development of microrobots for targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive surgical procedures. To assess the performance of these devices and improve on their ...
متن کاملStructure of into Water Plane Underexpanded Air Jets
An experimental and numerical investigation of the structure of plane underexpanded turbulent air jets in water was conducted to characterize their structure and mixing properties. Measurements included void fraction profiles, static pressure distributions, entrainment rates, and high speed flow visualization. A locally homogeneous flow model was also developed with compressibility effects trea...
متن کاملModeling and Design Methodology of an Efficient Underwater Propulsion System
This paper addresses the issues of energy efficiency in mechanisms for underwater locomotion and its accomplishment using a more robust class of mechanical structures. We present a design methodology for fabricating a continuous mechanical fish body such that its kinematic behavior matches parametric models of fish swimming with minimum energy cost. It is concluded that this new design has adva...
