This paper investigates the problem of active flutter suppression for a two-dimensional three degrees of freedom (3DOF) airfoil. With the influence of unsteady aerodynamic forces and parametric uncertainties, the output suboptimal control law design for a 3DOF airfoil control system is transformed into a constrained optimization problem. Then, the flutter robust suppression control law could be...

In a previous work, a mechanism was presented by which Baryon asymmetry can be generated during inflation from elliptically polarized gravitons. Nonetheless, the mechanism only generated a realistic baryon asymmetry under special circumstances which requires an enhancement of the lepton number from an unspecified GUT. In this note we provide a stringy embedding of this mechanism demonstrating t...

A big issue in the task of annotating multimedia data about dialogs and associated gesture and emotional state is due to the great variety of intrinsically heterogeneous metadata and to the impossibility of a standardization of the used descriptor in particular for the emotional state of the subject. We propose to tackle this problem using the instruments and the vision offered by Semantic Web ...

In this paper, a method based on binary-coded genetic algorithm is proposed to explore an optimization method, for obtaining an optimal elliptical tank. This optimization method enhances the rollover threshold of a tank vehicle, especially under partial filling conditions. Minimizing the overturning moment imposed on the vehicle due to c.g. height of the liquid load, lateral acceleration and ca...

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of the flow dynamics over a NACA 0012 airfoil at Reynolds number Re = 5× 104 at different angles of attack are presented. The dynamic of the large separation bubble, characterised by laminar boundary layer separation, transition to turbulence and flow reattachment is analysed in detail by means of instantaneous data al different locations in the suction side o...

The lag model proposed by Olsen and Coakley is incorporated into the baseline two-equation k-ω turbulence model to simulate the transonic and supersonic turbulent separated flow. The performances of the lagged k-ω turbulence model is assessed by computing two transonic airfoil flow cases, the RAE2822 Case 10 and the 18% thick double circular arc airfoil, and a separated nozzle flow. The computa...

This paper applies an exergy-based method on the two-dimensional airfoil and various threedimensional wing planforms to investigate the impact of exergy on aerodynamic designs. Our intent here is to report our efforts to couple a numerical code with an exergy analysis, a shape shifting algorithm and an optimization code to achieve desired airfoil and wing shapes. Exergy-based optimization is pe...
