In this paper the effects of rigid triangular passive vortex generators on a  hydrofoil were investigated numerically.  In the first step using the Finite Volume Method the bare hydrofoil  were modeled and the results of lift and drag coefficients were validated using experimental data. In the next step the hydrofoil armed with vortex generators was modeled and its effect on the hydrofoil perfo...

A wind tunnel investigation was performed to study the flow field over a 70° swept sharped edge delta wing model at high angles of attack. The experiments were conducted in the subsonic wind tunnel at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sharif University of Technology. Velocity profiles have been measured using a special pitot tube and hot wire anemometer at angles of attacks of 10 to 35 ...

The rotary energy recovery device (RERD) is an essential component in seawater desalination for decreasing the consumption of reverse osmosis plants. To research complex flow fields and mixing motion ducts a device, 3D numerical simulation was studied this work. Three-dimensional vortex structures were visualized identified based on Q criterion. effects operating condition structure parameter h...

The generation of a coherent state, supporting a large photon number, with controlled orbital-angular-momentum L = ħl (of charge l per photon) presents both fundamental and technological challenges: we demonstrate a surface-emitting laser, based on III-V semiconductor technology with an integrated metasurface, generating vortex-like coherent state in the Laguerre-Gauss basis. We use a first ord...

In response to recent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Component Design Bases Inspection (CBDI) issues, many US nuclear power stations have been required to demonstrate that minimum submergence requirements were properly determined for flow withdrawal from various safety related storage tanks. In many cases, the licensees failed to consider a vortex allowance, or applied an inappropriat...

Triboelectric nanogenerators are aspiring energy harvesting methods that generate electricity from the triboelectric effect and electrostatic induction. This study demonstrates the harvesting of wind energy by a wind-rolling triboelectric nanogenerator (WR-TENG). The WR-TENG generates electricity from wind as a lightweight dielectric sphere rotates along the vortex whistle substrate. Increasing...
