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...

Flat roofs and platform sinking are two common installation configurations for high-speed pantographs. The cavity formed by the is a potential source of aerodynamic drag noise. In this paper, shape rectangular optimized, performance pantograph with or without compared discussed based on optimized results. flow field sound propagation predicted improved delayed detached eddy simulation (IDDES) m...

In order to study the possibility of aerodynamic optimization base cavity for slender body, influence with non-cylindrical shape, which is different from traditional column one, investegated by numerical method in paper. The supersonic flow field same body two sorts unconventional cavity, half truncated-cone and column, simulated axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations. Distribution Mach Number (M...

Abstract As a key energy equipment of the compressed air storage (CAES) system, centrifugal compressor with shroud cavity is employed to avoid leakage flow from rotor, especially in high-pressure stages. In order clarify characteristics and its influences, taken as research object present work. First, across has been studied numerically, it’s found that there are negative effects on compressor’...

The act of sniffing increases the air velocity and changes the duration of airflow in the nose. It is not yet clear how these changes interact with the intrinsic timing within the olfactory bulb, but this is a matter of current research activity. An action of sniffing in generating a high velocity that alters the sorption of odorants onto the lining of the nasal cavity is expected from the esta...

The tubed vortex reducer in the axial compressor can destroy disk cavity, by a thin-walled tube, to reduce total pressure loss. tube may suffer from vibration problems, such as flutter and forced vibration, which are closely related aerodynamic damping. In this paper, energy method influence coefficient used study damping of tube. Based on modal characteristics, steady unsteady flow characteris...

The needs for accurate and efficient numerical solvers in computational aeroacoustics have motivated the development of low-dispersion and low-dissipation schemes as an alternative to more classical methods of applied mathematics for computational fluid mechanics over the last two decades. These numerical methods have now reached maturity, even if progress is still necessary to take account of ...
