Trash racks installed at hydropower plants cause head losses that reduce energy output. Previous research has thoroughly investigated head losses through both experimental and field studies. However, only a limited number of numerical studies have been p...

The present study employs numerical simulations to investigate vertical wall abutment scour with different aspect ratios (B/L, where B is the abutment length in the flow direction, and L is the abutment length transverse to the flow direction) under the ...

The temperature of the solar cells on the upper surface of a solar unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) wing is much higher than the atmospheric temperature during flight. The temperature difference will induce buoyancy-driven Görtler vortices that may influenc...

The high curvature of modern S-ducts causes a strong secondary flow, which seriously affects the uniformity of the compressor inlet flow. In this study, the flow control method of a pulsed jet was applied in the S-duct at an incoming Mach number of 0.4. ...

This paper deals with large onshore wind turbine aeroacoustics. Noise from the NREL 5 MW device is predicted by the permeable-surface Ffowcs Williams?Hawkings equation (FWH-P), starting from the postprocessing of LES data on different acoustic surfaces S...

The complex unsteady flow in cavities leads to the formation of large-scale disturbances in the shear layer. Natural closed-loop mechanisms provoke a dramatic increase in pressure pulsations and aerodynamic noise. This paper presents the experimental stu...

The Ocean Cleanup introduces a Digital Twin (DT) describing the cleanup systems made of netting to extract marine litter from our oceans. It consists of two wings forming a ?U-shape? and a retention zone. During operation, the system is towed and drag-dr...

The influence of unsteady wakes incoming from the upstream stages is of high relevance in modern high-speed, low-pressure turbines (LPT) operating at transonic exit Mach numbers and low Reynolds numbers for their potential to trigger transition and influ...

In the present two-dimensional numerical study, we investigate the roles of geometrical parameters of a hydrofoil (shape/curvature of the leading and trailing edges and thickness) and kinematic parameters (phase difference between heave and pitch (&#...
