This article discusses the enhanced lift-drag ratio of a geometrically modified National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics 0012 aerofoil at low Reynolds number 40000. The study involves validating Averaged Navier Stokes Transition Shear Stress Transport model analysis flow around subject with profile angles attack ranging from 0 to 10°. coefficient lift drag increased by 70% an angle 6°. exten...

An adjoint-based Navier–Stokes design and optimization method for two-dimensional multi-element high-lift configurations is derived and presented. The compressible Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations are used as a flow model together with the Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model to account for high Reynolds number effects. When a viscous continuous adjoint formulation is used, the necessary ...

Direct numerical simulation of turbulent flow behind a cylinder, wake flow, using the random vortex method for an incompressible fluid in two dimensions is presented. In the random vortex method, the primary variable is vorticity of the flow field. After generation on the cylinder wall, it is followed in two fractional time step in a Lagrangian system of coordinates, namely convection and diffu...

Reynolds number and thus body size may potentially limit aerodynamic force production in flying insects due to relative changes of viscous forces on the beating wings. By comparing four different species of fruit flies similar in shape but with different body mass, we have investigated how small insects cope with changes in fluid mechanical constraints on power requirements for flight and the e...

The fluid dynamics of a particle with vapor transport in the presence of gaseous Poiseuille flow is examined in detail for low translational Reynolds number. Poiseuille flow is used to represent an undisturbed steady flow in a cylindrical tube. The particle has a dominant radial field of condensation, evaporation, sublimation, or other form of gasification, with a corresponding radial Reynolds ...

Trains with different numbers of cars running in the open air were simulated using the delayed detached-eddy simulation (DDES). The numbers of cars included in the simulation are 3, 4, 5 and 8. The aim of this study was to investigate how train length influences the boundary layer, the wake flow, the surface pressure, the aerodynamic drag and the friction drag. To certify the accuracy of the me...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of drafting distance on the drag coefficient in swimming. A k-epsilon turbulent model was implemented in the commercial code Fluent(®) and applied to the fluid flow around two swimmers in a drafting situation. Numerical simulations were conducted for various distances between swimmers (0.5-8.0 m) and swimming velocities (1.6-2.0 m.s(-1)). Dr...

This paper presents an unsteady flow analysis of a 3D wing with morphing trailing edge flap (TEF) and seamless side-edge transition between the morphed static parts by introducing parametrization method. First, steady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) statically TEF is performed results are compared both baseline clean traditional hinged configuration at Reynolds number 0.7 × 106 for range...
