Vortex generators (VGs) are a passive method by which to alleviate boundary layer separation (BLS). The device-induced streamwise vortices propagate downstream. There is then lift-off from the surface and vortex decays. effectiveness of VGs depends on their geometrical configuration, spacing, flow characteristics. In high-speed regime, must be properly positioned upstream BLS region. Measuremen...

in this paper, an algorithm is presented for the formation of optimal null basis vectors corresponding to sparse flexibility matrices. for controlling the independence of the vectors, a generator is selected in each corresponding self-equilibrating systems, and the sequence of generators is modeled as decision variables. since the equilibrium conditions and uniqueness of generators consists a u...

The movements of organisms can be thought of as aggregations of motion primitives: motion segments containing one or more significant actions. Here, we present a means to identify and characterize motion primitives from recorded movement data. We address these problems by assuming that the motion sequences can be characterized as a series of dynamical-system-based pattern generators. By adoptin...

Generation of vortices enhances heat transfer by swirl, flow destabilization and development of viscous layers. They may increase heat transfer by several hundred percent. Prior to the use of vortices to influence heat transfer it must be known how different vortices are generated and controlled, and how they interact with the base flow and temperature field. To select the most appropriate vort...

The problem of optimal siting and dimensioning photovoltaic (PV) generators in medium-voltage distribution networks is addressed this research from the perspective combinatorial optimization. exact mixed-integer programming (MINLP) model solved using a master–slave (MS) optimization approach. In master stage, generalized normal (GNDO) with discrete–continuous codification used to represent loca...

in this paper, the main results are:a study of the finitely generated mv-algebras of continuous functions from the n-th power of the unit real interval i to i;a study of hopfian mv-algebras; anda category-theoretic study of the map sending an mv-algebra as above to the range of its generators (up to a suitable form of homeomorphism).

Positive perturbations of generators of locally Lipschitz continuous increasing integrated semigroups on an abstract L space are again generators of locally Lipschitz continuous increasing integrated semigroups. Positive perturbations of generators of positive dual semigroups on a dual abstract L space are generators of semigroups that are weakly∗ right continuous. These results are reformulate...

Large-eddy simulations of pairs of artificially generated longitudinal vortices embedded in a two-dimensional turbulent boundary layer are performed to study the dynamics of the vortical structures and to provide the unsteady inflow data for use in a future turbomachinery simulation. An immersed boundarymethod is employed to represent the wall-mounted half-delta wings that generate the counter-...

Idealized linear and nonlinear numerical experiments are carried out to test the predictions of the theory developed in Brunet and Montgomery [Vortex Rossby Waves on Smooth Circular Vortices Part I: Theory (pages 153–177, this issue)]. For a monopolar tropical cyclone-like vortex whose strength lies between a tropical depression and tropical storm, linear theory remains uniformly valid in time ...
