Method for wind harvesting and wind rejection in flying drones
Dario Floreano, Charalampos Vourtsis, Victor Casas Rochel, Nathan Samuel Müller, William John Stewart
The present invention concerns a method of manoeuvring a vertical take-off and landing, unmanned aerial drone (100) comprising at least an aerodynamic surface (101), wherein, during a flight of the drone, the aerodynamic surface generates lift and/or drag ...
2024Vortex shedding from a composite hydrofoil: Experimental evidence of a novel "partial lock-in"
Mohamed Farhat, Thomas Antoine Nicolas Berger, Qin Wu, Yunqing Liu
Lock-in is of great importance in many engineering applications due to its practical implications for structural safety. The influence of composite bend-twist coupling on the wake dynamics and vortex-induced vibration around a carbon fiber composite hydrof ...
Melville2023Symmetry-reduced low-dimensional representation of large-scale dynamics in the asymptotic suction boundary layer
An important feature of turbulent boundary layers are persistent large-scale coherent structures in the flow. Here, we use Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD), a data-driven technique designed to detect spatio-temporal coherence, to construct optimal low-dime ...
Amsterdam2023Experimental quantification of unsteady leading-edge flow separation
Karen Ann J Mulleners, Julien Dominique Claude Deparday
We propose here a method to experimentally quantify unsteady leading-edge flow separation on aerofoils with finite thickness. The methodology relies on the computation of a leading-edge suction parameter based on measured values of the partial circulation ...
