Suppressing tip vortex cavitation by winglets

Mohamed Farhat, Ali Amini, Martino Reclari

Despite the numerous remedies prescribed so far, tip vortex cavitation (TVC) remains a major issue in design and operation of diverse applications. In this paper, we experimentally investigate the effectiveness of winglets in suppressing TVC. An elliptical ...

Mitigating tip vortex cavitation by a flexible trailing thread

Mohamed Farhat, Ali Amini

Tip Vortex Cavitation (TVC) is a major issue in design and operation of axial hydraulic machines. We investigate the capacity of a flexible trailing thread in alleviating TVC by analyzing the flow-induced motion. For this purpose, a nylon thread with three ...

POD-Kriging reduced method’s application in Tandem Cylinders’ flow

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Han Xiao

The configuration of Tandem Cylinders is a typical one in researching noise and interactions between different components, where the Distance-diameter ratio is a very significant parameter with which the flow form varies a lot. To clearly research the rati ...

LPN in Cryptography

Sonia Mihaela Bogos

The security of public-key cryptography relies on well-studied hard problems, problems for which we do not have efficient algorithms. Factorization and discrete logarithm are the two most known and used hard problems. Unfortunately, they can be easily solv ...

Characterizing a burst leading-edge vortex on a rotating flat plate wing

Karen Ann J Mulleners

Identifying, characterizing, and tracking incoherent vortices in highly separated flows is of interest for the development of new low-order models for unsteady lift prediction. The current work examines several methods to identify vortex burst and characte ...

Detecting Vortex Burst on a Rotating Low-Aspect Ratio Plate

Karen Ann J Mulleners

This work experimentally examines the phenomenon of leading-edge vortex (LEV) burst in a low aspect ratio rotating plate. Through stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) about chrodwise planes, the evolutionary track of the vortex is detailed from i ...

A wind-tunnel investigation of wind-turbine wakes in yawed conditions

Fernando Porté Agel, Majid Bastankhah

Wind-tunnel experiments were performed to study the performance of a model wind turbine and its wake characteristics in a boundary layer under different operating conditions, including different yaw angles and tip speed ratios. High-resolution particle ima ...

Obstacle-induced spiral vortex breakdown

Mohamed Farhat, François Gallaire, Matthieu Dreyer, Simon Pasche

An experimental investigation on vortex breakdown dynamics is performed. An adverse pressure gradient is created along the axis of a wing-tip vortex by introducing a sphere downstream of an elliptical hydrofoil. The instrumentation involves high-speed visu ...
