This paper describes a full-scale, flexible test vehicle designed and built by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to validate the aerodynamic and mechanical performance of large compressors for a variety of applications. This paper provides a description of the test vehicle as well as mechanical and aerodynamic performance data gathered during testing of the vehicle.

The steady and unsteady aerodynamic behaviour of a sailing yacht is investigated in this work by using full-scale testing on a Stewart 34. The aerodynamic forces developed by the yacht in real time are derived from knowledge of the differential pressures across the sails and the sail shape. Experimental results are compared with numerical computation and good agreement was found.

Synthesis of nanoparticles using green methods with study their propertie is one great researchers’ concerns in fields pharmaceutical and biomedical products. The present paper aiming to use an eco-friendly route used for biosynthesis gold (AuNPs) C. Papaya seeds as both reducing stabilizing agent. Study seed contents showed many compounds which analyzed via qualitative, quantitative GC-MS anal...

Reduction of the aerodynamic noise generated by pantographs is a matter of great important for further speedup of the high speed trains. In general, pantographs are composed of some kind of bluff bodies. Therefore, the method to reduc e the aerodynamic noise generated by bluff bodies is demanded. In this paper, we will present the noise reduction effect of cylinder by equipping intermittent hol...

BACKGROUND Unexpected performance degradation occurs in wind turbine blades due to leading edge defect when suffering from continuous impacts with rain drops, hails, insects, or solid particles during its operation life. To assess this issue, this paper numerically investigates the steady and dynamic stall characteristics of an S809 airfoil with various leading edge defects. More leading edge d...

In the current study, twin wind blades are designed, fabricated and the effect of various gap ratio (g*) at various angle of attacks (α) on a next to each other twin wind blades are examined in an open-channel wind tunnel. Aerodynamic forces and moments are determined by using three-constraint force balancer. For gap ratio of zero, the aerodynamic attributes are like those of a solitary wind bl...
