JUPITER became the world’s fourth fastest supercomputer when it debuted last month. Though housed in Germany at the Jülich ...

The characteristics of vortices induced by spanwise forcing using a streamwise-oriented dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) vortex generator (VG) are investigated with and without a boundary layer ...

The vortex shedding and hydrodynamic forces from the current findings and those from literature show good agreement, which supports the accuracy of the current solver. Multiple simulations were the ...

A numerical analysis of fluid-body interaction is performed in this work in order to evaluate the influence of vortex and tornado-like flows on immersed objects. Velocity profile models are adopted to ...

The velocity gradient of the internal flow field of the turbine condition was mainly induced by the impact of the incoming flow on the runner (Figures 5, 6). Therefore, the vorticity modulus was very ...

The concentration of the vorticity on the axis of the vortex tube reduces the integration to one direction along the axis, but this produces the new problem of calculating the self-induced velocity at ...

When unloaded, these arms can be prone to vortex-induced vibration (VIV). In this context, “unloaded” means the arm is installed on the pole but no weights, tie-down cables, insulators, conductor or ...

Vortex Bladeless presented the company’s design for a new wind energy technology. One of the key characteristics of this system is the reduction of mechanical elements that can be worn by friction.
