Shark skin-inspired designs that improve aerodynamic performance

Shark skin-inspired designs that improve aerodynamic performance.

There have been significant efforts recently aimed at improving the aerodynamic performance of aerofoils through the modification of their surfaces. Inspired by the drag-reducing properties of the tooth-like denticles that cover the skin of sharks, we describe here experimental and simulation-based investigations into the aerodynamic effects of novel denticle-inspired designs placed along the s...

Fluid Drag Reduction with Shark - Skin Riblet Inspired

Inspired by designs found throughout living nature, researchers are reverse engineering the world’s fl ora and fauna to solve technical challenges. Much attention is given to structures and materials since living nature effi ciently uses resources and incorporates ingenious designs to survive. Therefore by using lessons from living nature, bioinspired designs are serving as the basis for many n...

Probe interval designs that improve accuracy of CoMPACT monitor

We have proposed the CoMPACT monitor; it achieves the scalable measurement of the one-way delay distribution for each flow. CoMPACT monitor transforms the one-way delay data obtained by active measurement by using the passively monitored traffic data of the target flow. A recent study reported that using an inter-probe time with Gamma distribution can improve the accuracy of simple active measu...

Bio Inspired Technique to Improve the Performance of VANETs

The Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network, or VANET, is an expertise that usages moving cars as nodes in a network to generate a moveable network. VANET turns each contributing car into a wireless router or node, permitting cars roughly 100 to 300 meters of each other to associate and, consecutively, form a network with an extensive range. Since vehicular ad hoc networks require the transmission of the safe...
