Vortex Shedding from a Two-Dimensional Blunt Trailing Edge with Unequal External Free-Stream Velocities

Thermal Field Around a Circular Cylinder with Periodic Vortex Shedding

A numerical study is carried out to investigate the laminar forced convection heat transfer from a circular cylinder. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible, the Reynolds number ranged from 0.1 to 1000, and the Prandtl number was equal to 0.7. The range of study includes heat transfer in creeping flow (Re40). The equations were discretized by a control-volume-based finite difference techniqu...

Two-dimensional Shock Sensitivity Analysis for Transonic Airfoils with Leading-Edge and Trailing-Edge Device Deflections

Free expansion of two-dimensional condensates with a vortex

We study the free expansion of a pancake-shaped Bose-condensed gas, which is initially trapped under harmonic confinement and containing a vortex at its centre. In the case of a radial expansion holding fixed the axial confinement we consider various models for the interactions, depending on the thickness of the condensate relative to the value of the scattering length. We are thus able to eval...

Control of vortex shedding on two- and three-dimensional airfoils

We review and expand on the control of separated flows over flat plates and airfoils at low Reynolds numbers associated with micro air vehicles. Experimental observations of the steady-state and transient lift response to actuation, and its dependence on the actuator, airfoil geometry, and flow conditions are discussed and an attempt is made to unify them in terms of their excitation of periodi...
