Numerical and experimental investigation of spiral-grooved gas journal bearings
Small-scale turbomachinery is increasingly used in carbon-free energy conversion systems, such as commercial or domestic scale heat pumps, fuels cells for transportation and waste heat recovery. The usage of aerodynamic bearings allows the design of compac ...
EPFL2022The dynamics and timescales of static stall
Karen Ann J Mulleners, Sébastien Le Fouest, Julien Dominique Claude Deparday
Airfoil stall plays a central role in the design of safe and efficient lifting surfaces. We typically distinguish between static and dynamic stall based on the unsteady rate of change of an airfoil’s angle of attack. Despite the somewhat misleading denotat ...
2021Performance of traditional nomadic yurts for living in extremes
Dolaana Khovalyg, Arnab Chatterjee
A round felt yurt is a traditional dwelling of Central Asian nomads that have survived over 2000 years. The structure and the use of the yurt have not changed over the centuries, making it a nomadic civilization's masterpiece. It has not lost its relevance ...
2021Unstable tilting motion of flexibly supported gas bearing bushings
Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Philipp Kaspar Bättig
This paper presents measurements of the motion amplitudes from flexibly supported Herringbone Grooved Journal Bearing bushings. Measurements taken in four locations on the flexibly supported bearing bushing enable the distinction between the radial and the ...
2021Nonlinear study on a rigid rotor supported by herringbone grooved gas bearings: Theory and validation
Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Patrick Hubert Wagner, Philipp Kaspar Bättig, Wanhui Liu
The nonlinear behavior of a rigid rotor supported by herringbone grooved journal gas bearings (HGJBs) was investigated in this study. The two-dimensional narrow groove theory (2D-NGT) was adopted to model the HGJBs. A set of integrated rotor-bearing state ...
2021Analysis of Pitot tube Airflow Velocity Sensor Behavior in Blockage Situations
Several airplanes crashes throughout the past decades are linked to the failure of the airplane flow velocity sensor known as pitot device or pitot tube. The study of its behavior in blockage, either due to human errors or due to environmental factors, cou ...
IEEE2020Predicting unsteady flow separation in response to a flow disturbance
Karen Ann J Mulleners, Julien Dominique Claude Deparday, Sabrina Henne, Guosheng He
We present here a summary of the activities and results of dynamically stalling airfoils from the UNFoLD lab at EPFL that have been presented at the meetings of the NATO AVT-282 discussion group on Unsteady aerodynamic response of rigid wings in gust encou ...
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc2020Stall Delay and Leading-Edge Suction for a Pitching Airfoil with Trailing-Edge Flap
Karen Ann J Mulleners, Julien Dominique Claude Deparday, Guosheng He
The flow around a pitching NACA0015 airfoil with an oscillating trailing-edge flap is experimentally investigated to characterize the influence of the flap kinematics on the development of dynamic stall. We specifically focus on the timing of the stall dev ...
2020Time-Continuous Phosphorus Flows in the Indian Agri-Food Sector: Long-Term Drivers and Management Options
Phosphorus (P) is a major agricultural nutrient and, in its mineable form, a potentially scarce resource. Countries with limited physical access to P should hence develop an effective national P governance. This requires analyses of trends and variations i ...
2018Coexistence of Drift Waves and D'Angelo Modes at Different Position and Frequency in Linear Plasma Device
Minh Quang Tran, Nathan Dupertuis
Experimental plasma discharges in linear PANTA device are studied by Mach probe measurements, providing floating potential, ion saturation current, and parallel flow velocity time evolution, at different radii of the device. Spectral analysis indicates tha ...
