Abstract The interaction between a propeller and its self-induced vortices originating on the ground is investigated in a scaled experiment. The velocity distribution in the flow field in two different planes containing the self-induced vortices is measured by particle image velocimetry (PIV). These planes are a wall-parallel plane in close proximity to the ground and a wall-normal plane just u...

OPENPROP, an open-source computational tool for the design and analysis of propellers and horizontal-axis turbines, is extended to provide estimates of normal stresses in the blades for both onand off-design operating conditions. The numerical model is based on propeller lifting theory, and the present implementation of the code includes an analysis capability to estimate the off-design perform...

OBJECTIVE With emergence and geographically expanding of antimalarial resistance worldwide, molecular markers are essential tool for surveillance of resistant Plasmodium parasites. Recently, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PF3D7_1343700 kelch propeller (K13-propeller) domain are shown to be associated with artemisinin (ART) resistance in vivo and in vitro. This study aims to inves...

A novel approach to passive propeller blade pitch variation is investigated. To effect passive pitch changes, the propeller blades are allowed to pivot freely about a radial axis, and aerodynamic pitchingmoments are tailored to give favorablebladepitch angles over awide range of advance ratios.Computationalmodelingof the system indicated that a large expansion of the efficient operating envelop...

While head motion is considered a significant problem in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), there is no data to quantify its extent, severity, or effect on image quality. PROPELLER (Periodically Rotated Overlapping ParallEL Lines with Enhanced Reconstruction) MRI offers a novel means of quantifying and compensating for head motion. We performed axial T2-weighted PROPELLER (motion corrected: P-CR...

Propeller cavitation noise in the high frequency regime is broadband and yet audibly rhythmic. The study of these processes are important because the shaft and blade rates, as well as other identifying features of the ship, can in principle be inferred from propeller noise modulation characteristics. Conventional wisdom has been that propeller noise is an amplitude modulation of a wide sense st...

Resume. Most wounds formed as a result of gunshot wound require staged, and in some cases, multistage reconstructive restorative operations rehabilitation.
 Materials methods. During treatment at the Military Medical Center Republic Poland for 6 months (from 24.02.22 to 10.09.22), surgical 54 wounded soldiers was carried out using principles plastic surgery. The process based on multimodal...

Almost all computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of flow around marine propellers use turbulence models that are only well suited for fully turbulent flows, which in some cases may lead to accuracy degradation in the prediction of propeller performance characteristics. The discrepancy between computed thrust and torque and corresponding experimental data increases with increasing prope...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR diagnostic of postoperative recurrent cholesteatomas is difficult. Our purpose was to compare multishot fast spin-echo periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction (PROPELLER) diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) with array spatial sensitivity encoding technique (ASSET) single-shot echo-planar DWI and late postgadolinium T1-weighted MR im...
