Sharp turning maneuvers with avian-inspired wing and tail morphing

Dario Floreano, Valentin Wüest, Enrico Ajanic, Mir Alikhan Bin Mohammad Feroskhan

Flight in dense environments, such as forests and cities requires drones to perform sharp turns. Although fixed-wing drones are aerodynamically and energetically more efficient than multicopters, they require a comparatively larger area to turn and thus ar ...

A Morphing Cargo Drone for Safe Flight in Proximity of Humans

Dario Floreano, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski, William John Stewart, Mir Alikhan Bin Mohammad Feroskhan

Delivery drones used by logistics companies today are equipped with unshielded propellers, which represent a major hurdle for in-hand parcel delivery. The exposed propeller blades are hazardous to unsuspecting bystanders, pets, and untrained users. One sol ...

High temperature heat pump using HFO and HCFO refrigerants – System design, simulation, and first experimental results

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

High temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) with heat sink temperatures in the range of 100 to 160°C are expected to become increasingly commercialized in the coming years. Major applications have been identified, particularly in the food, paper, metal and chemica ...

Thermo-Electric Analogy Method for Computing Transient Heat Transfer in a New Reciprocating Finned Piston Compressor

John Richard Thome, Alfred Rufer, Mahbod Heidari

In the framework of Isothermal Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), a new finned piston compressor has been designed and realized at LEI laboratory in EPFL. This system comprises a series of concentric annuli’s fitting into each other compressing the air ...

Effects Of The Swirl Velocity Of A Jet In Crossflow From Fan Assemblies Mounted On Lifting Surfaces

Alexandros Terzis, Charilaos Kazakos, Nikolaos Papadopoulos

The penetration of a jet of fluid into a traversal moving stream is a basic configuration of a wide range of engineering applications, such as film cooling and V/STOL aircrafts. This investigation examines experimentally the effect of blowing ratio of fans ...

SOLPS5 simulations of Type I ELMing H-mode at JET

Barbora Bruant Gulejová, Richard Pitts

This paper aims to contribute both to the ongoing process of scrape-off layer code-experiment and code-code benchmarking. Results are presented from SOLPS5 simulations of two high power JET H-modes with similar magnetic configuration, concentrating in the ...

Hydroacoustic modelling and numerical simulation of unsteady operation of hydroelectric systems

Christophe Nicolet

Hydropower represented in 1999 19% of the world electricity production and the absolute production is expected to grow considerably during the next 30 years. Francis turbines play a major role in the hydroelectric production due to their extended range of ...

Scaling of density peaking in JET H-modes and implications for ITER

Henri Weisen, Mikhail Maslov

Results from an extensive profile database analysis of JET density profiles in H-mode show that the density peaking factor n(e0)/ < n(e) > in JET H-modes increases as the effective collisionality v(eff) congruent to 10(-14) RZ(eff)n(e)/T-e(2) drops from si ...
