Jet Attachment Behavior using Counterflow Thrust Vectoring
A modeling and experimental study was performed to examine the jet attachment process, which can develop during the fluidic thrust vector control of subsonic and supersonic jets. Experiments performed in rectangular jets up to Mach 1.4 revealed that continuous control of jet exhaust is possible with secondary mass flow rates of the order of 1% of the primary jet mass. Under certain operating co...
متن کاملScaling Studies for an Actively Controlled Curvature Robotic Pectoral Fin
Scaling studies for an actively controlled curvature robotic pectoral fin are presented in detail. Design, development, and analysis of the fin are conducted using a combination of computational fluid dynamics tools and experimental tests. Results include a Generation 2 (Gen2) fin design with approximately 3x more surface area and a slightly larger aspect ratio compared with our Generation 1 (G...
متن کاملGeometric tracking control of thrust vectoring UAVs
In this paper a geometric approach to the trajectory tracking control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles with thrust vectoring capabilities is proposed. The control design is suitable for aerial systems that allow to effectively decouple position and orientation tracking tasks. The control problem is developed within the framework of geometric control theory on the group of rigid displacements SE (3),...
متن کاملPectoral fin coordination and gait transitions in steadily swimming juvenile reef fishes.
A common feature of animal locomotion is its organization into gaits with distinct patterns of movement and propulsor use for specific speeds. In terrestrial vertebrates, limb gaits have been extensively studied in diverse taxa and gait transitions have been shown to provide efficient locomotion across a wide range of speeds. In contrast, examination of gaits in fishes has focused on axial gait...
متن کاملTowards a Conceptual Model of a Bio-Robotic AUV: Pectoral Fin Hydrodynamics
Numerical simulations have been used to examine the performance of flapping foils. It is envisioned that these flapping foils will be employed as pectoral fins in a bio-robotic AUV (BAUV) and a detailed parametrization of the hydrodynamic performance of these foils will allow for the development of a high-fidelity dynamical model of the BAUV. In the long term, it is expected that this dynamical...
