Assessing the safety of amphibious aircraft hinges significantly on two key factors: wave-added resistance and motion stability during takeoff and landing on water surfaces. To tackle this, we employed the Reynolds-averaged Navier?Stokes (RANS) equations...

The fluidic pintle nozzle, a new method to control the thrust of a solid rocket motor, has been proposed in recent years by combining the pintle with the aerodynamic throat (fluidic throat). The study of static characteristics has proved that it has a re...

Bionic herringbone riblets are applied to relieve the flow near the blade endwall in a linear compressor cascade under the incidence angle of -4° to 6° at a Reynolds number of 382,000. The herringbone riblets are placed at the endwall upstream of the bla...

Tiltrotors permit aircrafts to operate vertically with lift, yet convert to ordinary forward flight with thrust. The challenge is to design a tiltrotor blade yielding maximum lift and thrust that converts smoothly without losing integrity or efficiency. ...
