▼ Drag polars for three Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) were measured at Reynolds numbers of 70,000, 50,000, 30,000, and 10,000 and compared to predictions generated using the classical approach. The MAVs tested had different configurations and aspect ratios varying from 1.2 to 1.6 and ratios of wetted surface area to planform area from 2.6 to 3.9. A force balance was used to measure the lift and drag on the MAVs at angles of attack ranging from -5 degrees (or -10 degrees) to 10 degrees. The force balance allowed the MAVs to rotate in the pitching axis. The MAV angle of attack was set using an elevator installed on the MAV and controlled using a standard radio control used by RC plane enthusiasts. Uncertainty analysis performed on the data showed the uncertainty for high Reynolds numbers was dominated by velocity uncertainty, and uncertainty for the lower Reynolds numbers was dominated by uncertainty in the force measurements. Agreement between measured and predicted drag polars was good with the measured drag never being more than two times the predicted drag. For the majority of the tests, the drag coefficients followed the expected Reynolds number trend: increasing with decreasing Reynolds number.

Correlations Between Near Wake Velocity Fluctuations and
Aerodynamic Efficiency for the SD7003 Airfoil.

▼ The correlation in turbulent properties between the
near wake, far wake and aerodynamic efficiency has not been
explored so far. Overall, the goal of this experimental
investigation is to gain insight into the trends of the mean and
fluctuating flow quantities in the wake of an airfoil and determine
if a correlation exists with maximum aerodynamic efficiency,
(L/D)
Max. Some of the mean flow quantities
considered in this study are velocity components and vorticity. The
fluctuating quantities explored in this investigation are
root-mean-square velocities, Reynolds shear stress, turbulent
kinetic energy, and turbulent production and dissipation.
Inspiration for this research stems from previous work which
identified a correlation between the mean and fluctuating flow
properties with the
drag coefficient and
lift-to-
drag ratio.
However, this trend was found in the self-preserved wake, 10 chords
downstream, where turbulent production is equal to dissipation. As
a result, the mean and fluctuating flow properties remain the same
from point to point in this region. This research examines the
properties in the near wake, at the trailing edge, where production
is expected to be higher than dissipation. In order to identify
additional correlations between the near and far wake properties,
as well as aerodynamic efficiency, the same airfoil and test
facility from the far wake experiments were used in this study.
Time Resolved Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) was performed in the
near wake of a wall-to-wall SD7003 wing for angles of attack (AoA)
ranging from -2 to 8 degrees at the AFRL’s Horizontal Free-Surface
Water Tunnel (HFWT) at a Reynolds number of ~68,000. Since water
tunnels have a relatively high turbulence intensity, a detailed
analysis of the wake was performed using various filtering
techniques to quantify and correct the effect of the water tunnel
turbulent intensity on the PIV data. Three different subtraction
methods – Distortion Field, Mean, and RMS Subtraction – were
studied in an attempt to remove the effects of freestream
turbulence from the PIV data. Following the subtraction
investigation, two filtering techniques, 3-Sigma and Vector Length
Cutoff filters, were examined. Filters were studied
due to the PIV
time delay being tuned to the wake, which resulted in good
correlations in the wake, compared to poor correlations in the
freestream region.Results from the SD7003 near wake were split into
three major sections: mean properties, fluctuating quantities, and
some turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget components. Three
distinct zones (groupings of similar slope) were seen in the
momentum deficit, which suggest certain angle of attack ranges have
different wake signatures. The momentum deficit in the near wake
was found to match the trends in
drag coefficient, aerodynamic
efficiency, and far wake streamwise velocity: high gradient from 6°
to 8° and decrease in magnitude around
(L/D)
Max. These trends and groupings
persisted with the near wake vorticity, and the groupings were also
seen in…

▼ Winglets are systems that are used on aircraft to reduce
drag and ultimately save money on fuel and pollution costs. A winglet exists on the end of a wing to reduce the amount of
drag that affects each wing during flight. In 2020, these winglet systems are fixed and vary between aircraft based on different flight and geometry characteristics. The result of this is that each winglet is only optimal at a single design point or a single flight scenario. A variable angle winglet system would allow the winglet to be optimal at multiple design points. In this experiment, a variable-angle winglet system is investigated based on different angles of attack, altitudes, and speeds. The results are found using computational fluid dynamics and wind tunnel testing. In the preliminary experiments it was found that the differences in air speed, altitude, and pitch for each flight condition affect the optimal cant angle significantly. The significance demonstrates the practicality of further research regarding potential prototyping and implementation.

▼ Minimizing
drag is a variational problem, and several minimum induced
drag solutions have been found using different design constraints. The elliptic
lift distribution is commonly used to minimize induced
drag, but is only the optimal solution under one set of design constraints. Non-elliptic
lift distributions are able to reduce induced
drag, when compared to the elliptic
lift distribution, by increasing the wingspan while maintaining a consistent wing–structure weight. However, these non-elliptic
lift distributions are only optimal if the effects of viscous
drag are neglected. In this study, numerical tools are used to estimate the total
drag on rectangular wings that are twisted to give both elliptic and non-elliptic
lift distributions. It is shown that the optimal
lift distribution is described by ���� = 0 for all ��≠ 3 and ��3 = -0.0901 or -0.103 depending on twist type. These optimal
lift distributions reduce total
drag by 1.01 or 1.23% respectively when compared to the elliptic
lift distribution. These values are compared to
lift distributions that minimize only induced
drag, to understand the effects of using a non-elliptic
lift distribution on the efficiency of an aircraft and the viability of using non-elliptic
lift distributions on aircraft, specifically morphing-wing aircraft.

▼ This research project aims at obtaining a better understanding of vertically translating the wing and the related wing-body interference effects on the
drag and sonic boom. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis using the Euler equations has been used to evaluate an airplane with different vertical wing placements at a
lift coefficient of 0.15 at a Mach-number of 1.6 and also in zero-
lift conditions. Pressure distributions,
drag forces and pressure signatures have been calculated in order to assess the performance in terms of wave
drag and sonic booms. These results have been analysed to find out why certain effects are happening for these configurations. The low wing configuration has the highest
lift-to-
drag ratio
due to interference on the upper wing surface close to the fuselage. The
lift-to-
drag ratio for CL = 0.15 is found to be 4.79% higher compared to the worst performing configuration, the high wing configuration.
Due to the local geometry of the low wing configuration it is possible to cre- ate additional suction on the upper wing surface, which positively affects the performance. Pressure signatures are extracted at 1 body-length distance (70푚) from the aircraft for several azimuth angles. These distributions show that the low wing configuration also has the lowest impulse and maximum overpressure. The higher wing configurations show an extra peak in overpressure emanating from the trailing end of the wing, which is created
due to interference effects. Below the wing surface there is a large volume of the fuselage, while it is absent for the low wing configuration. Therefore the higher wing configurations show an extra peak in the pressure signature. Next to this discovery, an analysis is presented to relate the geometry of the configurations to the wave
drag by assessing the cross-sectional area distribution using different intersection methods. These methods are compared with other methods found in the literature. Two methods which use a single Mach-cone have been analysed, as well as a method incorporating a forward and a backward pointed Mach-cone. One method translates a Mach-cone vertically to align the vertex of the Mach-cone with the centroid of the intersection with the aircraft. This gives an x,z-position which can be used to adjust the area distribution. The
drag for the methods using a single Mach-cone was overestimated by a factor of 2, but after multiplying these results by a factor of / the results for the heigh-weighted Mach-cone method approached the wave
drag results from CFD within 5%. The double Mach-cone method showed an even better agreement with less variation, while no multiplication factor was applied. A further analysis has taken place to find out why some methods that incorporate a single Mach- cone to evaluate the cross-sectional area to calculate the wave
drag, overestimate the
drag by a factor of 2. It is found that these methods do not overestimate the
drag for a simple shape, such as a Sears- Haack body. The methods simply overestimate the cross-sectional area,…

▼ Highway bridges along the coast and small river bridges in mountainous regions can be submerged during storm surges or strong rainfall events, respectively. Loss of serviceability during these conditions can dramatically hamper the evacuation plan and the capacity for emergency transportation, thus it is essential to ensure the stability of bridges in extreme hydrological events. Correct estimates of the hydrodynamic forces on a bridge allows bridge designers to evaluate the robustness of the bridge in a more sophisticated approach rather than relying on a constant force magnitude obtained from a small range of physical tests. This study presents numerical simulations performed to quantify the hydrodynamic forces on a bridge deck with a rectangular cross section. The results of the numerical model are validated against the results of physical experiments. More than 700 simulations were performed to thoroughly investigate the effect of certain parameters on the flow field and forces on the deck. The parameters considered include: the water level, the Froude number, the blockage ratio, the proximity of the deck to the channel floor, the inclination of the deck, and the aspect ratio of the deck. The
lift force is found to be downward unless the deck is significantly submerged i.e., inundation ratio (h*) is greater than 3.5, and the upstream velocity is relatively small, Frd<0.6. For h*<3.5 the development of flow patterns on the upper side of the deck is constrained by the presence of the free surface which causes an asymmetric pressure distribution in the vertical direction and ultimately results in a downward force. Increase in flow velocity results in a higher downward force and hence increase the bridge stability (provided that the submergence of the bridge is not too high, h*<4). When considering the trend of changes in
lift and
drag forces simultaneously, it can be said that the combination of small velocities and inundation ratios higher than 2 results in the most critical situation for the vertical stability of the bridge deck. An increase in the blockage ratio results in an increase in the
drag coefficient. On the other hand, a decrease in the blockage ratio shifts the
drag coefficient towards the value of 1.56, which corresponds to the
drag coefficient of a rectangular cylinder in an unbounded flow. Considering the common flow conditions of practical interest for bridge designers, the upper boundary of the
drag coefficient for the box deck was found to be 2.8. Incipient failure analysis is performed to establish a hydrodynamic situation that can cause the failure of the deck. Regardless of the proximity ratio and the Froude number, the bridge deck collapsed when the inundation ratio was higher than 1.3. This indicates that the deck is more susceptible to high water levels than to flood velocity or to the distance to the channel floor. Moreover, no bridge failure occurred for inundation ratios lower than 1.3, indicating that the deck must be deeply submerged to fail. By extracting the…

(more)
▼ A supersonic wind tunnel, with a 20" x 20'" test section cross sectional area, was designed and constructed at the Techsburg Wind Tunnel Facility in order to determine the
lift and
drag on irregularly shaped fragments in supersonic flow. Prior to beginning the wind tunnel design process, a blowdown analysis model was created in order to determine the influence of a number of parameters on tunnel run time and test gas properties throughout the tunnel circuit. The design of the settling chamber, test section, supersonic nozzles, diffuser, and exhaust are presented in this thesis. Diffuser performance has a large influence on wind tunnel efficiency and run time. Therefore, significant efforts should be taken in order to attain the highest possible pressure recovery within the diffuser. The design of wind tunnel components, as well as their stress analysis, was conducted using SolidWorks. The control valve and silencer were sized and selected for the expected tunnel operating conditions. Since the control valve tends to encompass a significant portion of the overall tunnel cost, care must be taken to ensure it has a large enough flow capacity to produce the desired test conditions. Also, attempts must be made to accurately predict the total pressure loss through the silencer, since this loss can have a large impact on the total pressure ratio necessary to produce the design Mach number. Upon completion of the design process, the supersonic wind tunnel was assembled, and shakedown testing was conducted. During shakedown testing it was determined that the wind tunnel was capable of producing Mach 2 flow in the test section. Following shakedown testing, a flow survey was conducted in order to ensure uniform Mach number flow exists throughout the region occupied by the fragments. Based on the flow survey it was determined that within the middle 60% of the test section, the average Mach number was 1.950 and varied by only 0.56% within this region. Two irregularly shaped fragments were tested at Mach 2 flow, over an effective 360° pitch sweep, with wind tunnel runs performed every 10 degrees. Based on the measured force data for both fragments, the
lift appeared to follow a sinusoidal curve, with minimum values at 0, 90, and 180° balance pitch angle, and maximum values occurring around 45 and 135° pitch angle. The
drag force was observed to follow a gradual curve with minimum values at 0 and 180° balance pitch angle, as expected since the fragment presented area is generally least in this orientation. The maximum
drag was found to occur at a balance pitch angle of 90°, once again as expected since the fragment presented area is generally greatest at this angle. It was also observed that the fragment
drag tended to be greater for a fragment orientation which places the concave side of the fragment into the direction of the flow.

▼ In this thesis I am going to calculate the
acceleration due to gravity on axisymmetric neutron stars using the
rapidly rotating neutron star code (RNS). I modified the original
RNS code so that it can compute the acceleration at different
latitudes of the star. I am calculating different stellar models,
and I was able to get physical quantities like the maximum mass for
each spin frequency. The code that I am using solves for the
geometry of an axisymmetric rotating neutron star described by
Komatsu, Eriguchi and Hachisu (1989). The metric of the star has
four potentials which are used in the calculation of acceleration
due to gravity. The code numerically solves the four field
equations and the integrated equation of hydrostatic equilibrium. I
find the acceleration due to gravity for different equation of
states (EOS). The EOS range from the soft EOS BBB2, stiff (using
equation of state L) and intermediate stiffness (using equation of
state APR). Lastly I will plot the equatorial and polar
acceleration due to gravity for the different equations of state. I
will attempt empirical fit for those curves based on the stars'
physical parameters such as mass, radius and spin. I show also the
acceleration gradient at stellar latitudes at different spin
frequencies for the three different equations of
states.

▼ Due to a trend towards Ultra High Bypass Ratio engines the corresponding engine/airframe interference is becoming a key aspect in aircraft design. The present economic situation increases the pressure on commercial aviation companies to reduce the Direct Operating Cost, and the environmental situation requires a new generation of aircraft with a lower environmental impact. Therefore detailed aerodynamic investigations are required to evaluate the real benefits of new technologies.
The presented research activity is part of a long-term project with the main objective of generating a reliable and accurate tool to predict the performance of an aircraft over the whole flight domain. In particular the aim of this research was to perform advanced CFD in order to establish a tool able to evaluate engine installation effects for different configurations and attitudes. The developed tool can be provided with correlations of the Net Propulsive Force (NPF), the force exerted by the power-plant to the aircraft, as a function of position. This can be done in principle at cruise, hold, climb, descent, take-off and landing, to model the different integration effects at different phases.
Due to the complexity of the problem it was only possible at an initial stage to determine these correlations at cruise condition. Two parametric test cases were evaluated, showing that the engine horizontal positioning can influence the mission fuel burn by up to 6.4%. According to the extensive literature review that has been done, this study can be regarded as the first open literature engine position-NPF parametric study using CFD.
Even though no correlations were extracted for other conditions; a deployed high-lift wing configuration was also studied in detail, defining the main aerodynamics effects of the engine integration at high angle of attack. A topological study of the high-lift installation vortices is presented in this work and it can be considered the first in the open literature. It should be pointed out that extensive research is currently underway to correctly evaluate the high-lift aerodynamic using CFD. The Propulsive System Integration (PSI) in high-lift conditions is adding flow features to an already demanding problem, making it a real challenge for the numerical methods.
Nevertheless the additional effects of a nacelle chine on the maximum lift were also evaluated.
The main outcomes of this PhD research were: a coupled performance modelling tool able to handle the effects of engine-airframe integration as a function of geometry and attitude, and a topological study of the high-lift installation vortices.
During the course of the work, this research was successfully suggested as an extra activity for the European NEWAC project (New Aero Engine Core Concepts), and resulted in a new deliverable for that project.

▼ In recent years, there has been great interest in the effects of different garments and their aerodynamic characteristics. It is widely believed that the reduction of aerodynamic drag can enhance athlete’s performance. There has been little understanding in the aerodynamic properties and behaviours of athlete’s garment as limited research is reported in the open literature. Therefore, the primary objective of this research is to understand the aerodynamic characteristics and gain a greater insight in order to establish relations between sports garments’ physical parameters and aerodynamic properties. A series of stretchable knitted and woven fabrics used in speed sports garments (e.g., sprint, cycling, speed skating, downhill skiing, ski jumping and swimming) have been studied for a wide range of Reynolds numbers (Re) and angles of attack (α). The findings revealed that the drag polar (C L /C D ratio) for 3D circular cylinder with smooth and rough surfaces (varied by knitted and woven fabrics) has been established for a range of Reynolds numbers (Re = 5.06 × 10 4 to 2.30 × 10 5 ) and angles of attack (α = 0° to 90°). The drag polar allows determining the aerodynamic efficiency of sports fabrics (i.e., garments) and their optimal design. The aerodynamic behaviour of knitted fabrics is found to be quite different to that of woven fabrics. With an increase of stretch, the surface morphology of knitted fabrics becomes courser and thereby triggers an early airflow transition. In contrast, the stretch on woven fabrics makes the surface morphology smoother which delays the flow transition. The minimum drag coefficient (C Dmin ) of stretchable knitted fabrics is directly proportional to relative roughness whereas the critical Reynolds numbers is inversely proportional to the relative roughness (ε = 1.39 × 10 -4 to 7.73 × 10 -4 ) within Reynolds numbers investigated (Re crit = 1.83 × 10 5 to 1.00 × 10 5 ). On the other hand, the minimum drag coefficient (C Dmin ) of stretchable woven fabrics is proportional to the relative roughness, however the relationship of critical Reynolds numbers (Re crit = 1.17 × 10 5 to 2.34 × 10 5 ) with the relative roughness (ε = 3.689 × 10 -4 to 1.319 × 10 -4 ) is non-linear. Knitted fabrics with lower relative roughness, distance and gap area between yarns generate greater aerodynamic efficiency (C L /C D ) at high Reynolds numbers. Similarly with the higher relative roughness, distance and gap area between yarns, the knitted fabrics offers an aerodynamic benefit at low Reynolds numbers. A notable reduction of aerodynamic benefit in woven fabrics was found under unstretched condition. However with increased stretches, the aerodynamic advantage (C L /C D ) increases almost linearly. The stretched woven fabrics are found to be aerodynamically beneficial at high Reynolds numbers whereas the stretched knitted fabrics are at low Reynolds numbers. The practical implication of these research findings is multi-fold. The drag polar of smooth and rough cylindrical surfaces…

▼ Aerodynamics has a strong influence on the design of a vehicle. Over half the fuel used by modern passenger is wasted in overcoming aerodynamic drag. Despite intense research into the flow around the upper part of the vehicle, the drag coefficient has plateaued at about 0.3 and further drag reductions will come from the under body including the wheels and associated areas. In general, vehicle must operate in the presence of the flow disturbances generated by the rotating wheels inside the wheel-housings. However, research into the effect of wheel-wells on the aerodynamic forces acting on automobiles has been sparse due to the considerable technical difficulties associated with wheels rotating in contact with moving ground plane and experimental complexity involved. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has not yet reached the level of reliability and confidence where it could be used exclusively as a design tool without performing validating experiments on scale or full-scale models. In this work, CFD techniques were used for the parametric study and analysis of wheel-housing geometry of a generic test vehicle due to its potential economic and time saving capabilities. However, to get benchmarking parameters and flow structures in the RMIT Industrial Wind-Tunnel, (which does not have a moving ground or facilities to work with conventional rotating wheels), a simple cost effective double-symmetry method was developed based on the conventional single symmetry wind-tunnel testing technique. Initially the concept was investigated via wind-tunnel experiments and CFD on the Ahmed body. Computed values of aerodynamic drag coefficients were in the range of the experimental values and also showed the same base pattern for tested case. Whilst a full car simulation was desirable, a relatively simple two wheeled RMIT body was developed to reproduce front and rear wheel effects and aerodynamics of a normal four wheeled passenger car. A grid optimised CFD model was able to simulate the flow parameters accurately. It was concluded that the double-symmetry concept could provide a solution for some vehicle rotating wheel and moving ground problems with somewhat simple measurement mechanisms in any normal wind-tunnel. However, It was noted that the draw backs include the transient traverse flow across the symmetric plane, the influence of ground boundary layer, sealing the gap around the body and the ground and splitting the test vehicle. From the benchmarking flow visualisation on the base body, the complexity of flows involved around the wheel area for both front and rear wheel portions was confirmed. Parametric tests revealed that front wheel-housing is directly affected by the flow impinging onto the wheel and wheel-housing where as the rear wheel-housing is mainly sensitive to the changes in wheel-housing geometry. The results indicate that the structure of wheel-housing aerodynamic flows is more complex than previously thought. Flow structures of the wheel, wheel-housing and the total vehicles show that both front and rear…

▼ A força propulsiva gerada durante o palmateio é resultado do somatório das forças de arrasto e de sustentação, sendo que a componente que atua na direção do movimento desejado é igual à força propulsiva efetiva. Essas forças podem ser estimadas a partir de equações hidrodinâmicas, porém essas equações não consideram todos os mecanismos que contribuem para a propulsão. Dessa forma, o objetivo geral do presente estudo foi comparar a força propulsiva efetiva calculada a partir das equações hidrodinâmicas e a força propulsiva efetiva medida durante o palmateio de sustentação (na posição vertical, de cabeça para cima) em cada fase do palmateio. Para isso, uma praticante de nado sincronizado realizou palmateio na posição vertical de cabeça para cima durante 15 segundos, enquanto que dados cinemáticos e cinéticos foram obtidos por viodeogrametria 3D e dinamometria respectivamente. A análise gráfica de Bland e Altman foi usada para comparar as forças propulsivas efetivas medida e calculada durante o palmateio. As forças propulsivas efetivas calculada e medida foram diferentes, sendo a medida maior que a calculada. Ainda, os resultados indicaram que o palmateio executado não foi simétrico, isto é, a orientação e a força propulsiva entre a mão direita e a esquerda foram diferentes. Portanto, o achado do presente trabalho destaca a importância de mecanismos instáveis para a propulsão durante o palmateio, já que as forças estimadas por meio das equações hidrodinâmicas apresentaram resultados inferiores, sendo isso observado ao longo de todo o palmateio.
Propulsive force generated during sculling motion results from drag and lift propulsive forces, and the component acting in the direction of motion is the effective propulsive force. These forces may be calculated using hydrodynamic equations, but these equations do not consider all mechanisms that contribute to the propulsion. Thus, the main purpose of this study was to compare the calculated effective propulsive force using the hydrodynamic equations and the measured effective propulsive force during a support sculling motion (vertical position with the head above the water‟s surface) in each phase of sculling. For this, a practitioner of synchronized swimming performed sculling motion in a vertical position with the head above the water‟s surface during 15 seconds, while kinematic and kinetic data were obtained by 3D videogrammetry and dynamometry respectively. Graphical techniques from Bland and Altman were used to compare the measured effective propulsive force and calculated effective propulsive force during sculling motion. The calculated effective propulsive force and the measured effective propulsive force were different, the measured being greater than the calculated. Moreover, the results indicated sculling motion performed was not symmetric, that is, the orientation and propulsive forces between the right and left hands were different. Therefore, the result of this study highlights the importance of the unsteady mechanisms for the propulsion during sculling…

▼ O presente trabalho tem por finalidade a obtenção de curvas que regem o comportamento estático da sustentação e arrasto de uma asa em função da variação de seu câmber através do uso do flape de bordo de ataque, com base em resultados experimentais obtidos em túnel de vento. O estudo inclui uma revisão sobre o uso de flapes de bordo de ataque e uma descrição dos ensaios em túnel de vento. O modelo tridimensional da asa utilizada para os experimentos contém um flape de bordo de ataque em metade de sua envergadura e foi construído segundo o perfil GA(W)-1. O experimento inclui a determinação da sustentação e do arrasto para cada valor do ângulo de ataque da asa e do ângulo do flape de bordo de ataque. O objetivo é obter uma correlação ótima entre estes dois ângulos de forma que, para cada ângulo de ataque da asa seja determinado um ângulo ótimo do flape de bordo de ataque que confira a máxima sustentação.

FORMULA 1 RACE CAR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT BY OPTIMIZATION OF THE AERODYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR WINGS.

▼ The sport of Formula 1 (F1) has been a proving ground for race fanatics and engineers for more than half a century. With every driver wanting to go faster and beat the previous best time, research and innovation in engineering of the car is really essential. Although higher speeds are the main criterion for determining the Formula 1 car’s aerodynamic setup, post the San Marino Grand Prix of 1994, the engineering research and development has also targeted for driver’s safety. The governing body of Formula 1, i.e. Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) has made significant rule changes since this time, primarily targeting car safety and speed.
Aerodynamic performance of a F1 car is currently one of the vital aspects of performance gain, as marginal gains are obtained
due to engine and mechanical changes to the car. Thus, it has become the key to success in this sport, resulting in teams spending millions of dollars on research and development in this sector each year. Although F1 car aerodynamics is at a highly advanced stage, there is always potential for further development. With the under-body aerodynamics banned by the FIA, the only significant changes that can be made to improve the aerodynamic performance of the car are by modifying the front and rear wings cross-sections, i.e. airfoils, or by developing new diffuser to modify the air flow underneath the car. Airfoil design is one of the important factors to consider while designing the car. Design of the most optimum airfoils is track-dependent, as each track has different aerodynamic requirements. The development of the F1 car is regulated by the rules sanctioned by the FIA. In recent years, the FIA has reduced the allowable operational hours for development at the wind-tunnel by a F1 team. From the 2015 season onwards, use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software for the development of the F1 car is also being limited. This rule change will result in limited test-runs every season. This study, thus, focuses to provide a preliminary estimate of the most optimum aerodynamic loads acting on the front and rear wings for achieving the best lap times possible around a particular track. This will effectively focus the area of development leading to targeted use of CFD simulations.
To perform the optimization, a genetic algorithm (Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy – CMA-ES) is used. In order to obtain all the telemetric information, a lap simulation tool called AeroLap is used. For simulation, the Sepang F1 race track, which annually hosts the Malaysian Grand Prix (GP), is selected. This track provides a perfect conundrum of whether to design the car for high downforce or low
drag configuration, as it contains fast-turning corners and long straights. The optimization is performed for a given F1 car setup used for the 2010 season, with the aerodynamic loads acting on both the front and rear wings as well as the racing line being optimized. First, an optimum racing line is derived for this particular race track using CMA-ES. It is…

▼ Subsea pipelines are subjected to wave and steady current loads which cause pipeline stability problems. Current knowledge and understanding on the pipeline on-bottom stability is based on the research programmes from the 1980’s such as the Pipeline Stability Design Project (PIPESTAB) and American Gas Association (AGA) in Joint Industry Project. These projects have mainly provided information regarding hydrodynamic loads on pipeline and soil resistance in isolation. In reality, the pipeline stability problem is much more complex involving hydrodynamic loadings, pipeline response, soil resistance, embedment and pipe-soil-fluid interaction. In this thesis Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling is used to investigate and establish the interrelationship between fluid (hydrodynamics), pipe (subsea pipeline), and soil (seabed). The effect of soil types, soil resistance, soil porosity and soil unit weight on embedment was examined. The overall pipeline stability alongside pipeline diameter and weight and hydrodynamic effect on both soil (resulting in scouring) and pipeline was also investigated. The use of CFD provided a better understanding of the complex physical processes of fluid-pipe-soil interaction. The results show that the magnitude of passive resistance is on the average eight times that of lateral resistance. Thus passive resistance is of greater significance for subsea pipeline stability design hence the reason why Coulomb’s friction theory is considered as conservative for stability design analysis, as it ignores passive resistance and underestimates lateral resistance. Previous works (such as that carried out by Lyons and DNV) concluded that soil resistance should be determined by considering Coulomb’s friction based on lateral resistance and passive resistance due to pipeline embedment, but the significance of passive resistance in pipeline stability and its variation in sand and clay soils have not be established as shown in this thesis. The results for soil porosity show that increase in pipeline stability with increasing porosity is due to increased soil liquefaction which increases soil resistance. The pipe-soil interaction model by Wagner et al. established the effect of soil porosity on lateral soil resistance but did not attribute it to soil liquefaction. Results showed that the effect of pipeline diameter and weight vary with soil type; for sand, pipeline diameter showed a greater influence on embedment with a 110% increase in embedment (considering combined effect of diameter and weight) and a 65% decrease in embedment when normalised with diameter. While pipeline weight showed a greater influence on embedment in clay with a 410% increase. The work of Gao et al. did not completely establish the combined effect of pipeline diameter and weight and soil type on stability. Results also show that pipeline instability is due to a combination of pipeline displacement due to vortex shedding and scouring effect with increasing velocity. As scoring progresses, maximum embedment is reached at the point of…

▼ This Master’s thesis is dedicated to a generation of an additional torque, which can occur
due to the inaccuracy of the manufacturing. This issue is inspired by a real case from 2013. In this work CFD modeling is used to investigate three different sources of the additional torque: misalignment of the rudder, deviation of the propeller shaft and asymmetry of the rudder. A simplified 2D simulation is done for all three cases. This simulation is more suitable for a jet powered boat. Therefore the asymmetry of the rudder is investigated also in a 3D case, where the rotational component of the flow behind the propeller is included.

▼ This thesis discusses a comparison of the differences in aerodynamic performance of wings designed with elliptical and bell-shaped
lift distributions. The method uses a Standard Cirrus sailplane wing with a
lift distribution associated with the induced
drag benefits of an elliptical distribution (span efficiency = 0.96) as the basis of comparison. The Standard Cirrus is a standard class sailplane with 15-meter wingspan that was designed by Schempp-Hirth in 1969. This sailplane wing was modeled and analyzed in XFLR5, then validated against existing wind tunnel airfoil data, and Standard Cirrus flight test data. The root bending moment of the baseline wing was determined and used as the primary constraint in the design of two wings with bell-shaped
lift distribution. These wings were modeled in XFLR5 by adjusting chord length and geometric twist respectively, and then they were studied using fixed speed lifting line analysis. Steady state cruise conditions for the Standard Cirrus sailplane were taken from the flight test data and applied for the analysis.
The wing designed with chord variation posed incompatibilities with the lifting line method. The resulting planform was strongly tapered in the wingtip region and the reference chord length there was such that the software could not solve for a Reynolds number the magnitude resulting from two-dimensional airfoil analysis. However, the wing geometry provided insight into the design aspect of wings with bell-shaped
lift distribution. Using chord variation to shape the
lift distribution, the wing featured a 12% increase in wingspan but a 6.5% decrease in total wetted area when compared to the baseline.
The results of the analysis of the wing designed with geometric twist indicate that induced
drag decreased by 5% when compared to the baseline wing. The constraint on root bending moment resulted in a 12% increase in wingspan. Wetted area also increased by 14.8% over the baseline yielding an estimated 15% increase in skin friction.

▼ Regarding to the hunger marketing is increasingly appearing in the market, the effect of scarcity product has become increasingly important for both consumers and businesses. Therefore, this study will explore the scarcity of two products (scarcity
due to supply and scarcity
due to demand) whether it will affect the consumerâs purchase intention through expected product prices and product perceived risks separately, and under this framework whether the degree of consumerâs social identity and degree of conspicuous consumption will moderate the effects between two scarcity product and the two mediation variables, and will discuss how the scarcity product impact consumerâs product perception in detail. The main purpose is to discuss (1) The influence of the expected product price and perceived risk to the consumer purchase intentions, product attitudes, and electronic word-of-mouth communicated intentions in two scarcity phenomenon (scarcity
due to supply and scarcity
due to demand); (2) Whether different scarcity conditions would strengthen
the effect of scarcity product on expected product price and perceived risk, and further impact the consumer purchase intentions, product attitudes and electronic word-of-mouth communicated intentions in different social identity degree by consumer; (3) Whether conspicuous consumption will moderate the effect of excepted product price and perceived risk in different scarcity conditions when consumers engage in purchasing behavior, and further impact the consumer purchase intentions, product attitudes and electronic word-of-mouth communicated intentions. This study conducted a quantitative research by One-factor experiment. The results confirmed the effectiveness of the S-E-D model in product scarcity again. Scarcity product
due to supply has a positive and significant effect on product attitudes through the expected product price. Scarcity product
due to demand has a negative and significant effect on electronic word-of-mouth communicated intentions through perceived social risk. The moderation effect part, it is found that consumerâs degree of social identity needs and the degree of conspicuous consumption will not affect between scarcity product and two mediation variables. Based on the results of the survey, this study further provides future research and practical advices.

▼ Mestrado em Engenharia do Ambiente - Instituto Superior de Agronomia
The work of this dissertation focuses essentially on matters related to the areas of
environmental acoustics – noise and discomfort to the urban population. Noise is a source of
noise pollution, which is a combination of various sound sources, from commercial activities
and services, religious spaces, construction, vehicle traffic, human activities, etc. This raises
the level of urban noise and contributes to the emergence of unpleasant sound environments
increasingly. With the evolution of society, noise is considered one of the most common
environmental problems, degrading the quality of life and the environment. The legislation
and international regulations have allowed the quantification by means of noise maps and
acoustical prediction, where the legal authorities can view and plan interventional measures
for a proper planning of the urban places. This case study describes the noise in the urban
environment in the city of Lisbon, more specifically, a typical residential area of the city –
Benfica – Igreja de Benfica – Rua dos Arneiros. An environmental noise analysis, through
the acquisition levels of sound pressure and frequency spectra in bands 1 / 3 octave,
continuously under a period of 7 (seven) days during the month of May 2011. The results
showed the characteristic noise of a residential zone of the city of Lisbon, as well as
identified what are their main sources. The information drawn from this study may serve as a
basis for development and planning of cities in relation to acoustic comfort.

▼ Shocks at the inlet of scramjet engines are
subject to perturbations from their interaction with turbulent boundary layer. DNS results for this interaction indicate the presence of discrete vortices that interact with the shock at its foot. These studies reveal that the vortices cause oscillations of the shock. In this work we examine the propagation of disturbances along a stationary oblique shock following interaction with a two-dimensional vortex. We study the decay of disturbances along a normal shock as measured from Euler computations and compare these with the predictions of Geometrical Shock Dynamics(GSD) for long range propagation. We have incorporated two improvements into the GSD model to tackle the shock-vortex interaction problem. The wave structure of the disturbance resembles N waves, the decay of which follows a power law profile. An extension of the GSD model to predict shock surface propagation in 3-D flows is presented along with the numerical implementation.

▼ This thesis presents a methodology to calculate the flap angles necessary to reproduce a desired
lift distribution for an elastic wing with multiple trailing-edge flaps. The methodology presented builds upon the adaptive wing methodology for rigid wings developed by King and Gopalarathnam. Relevant equations from thin airfoil theory and beam theory are presented, and are then used to develop the solution procedure for the determination of flap angles for an elastic wing. Examples using an elliptic
lift distribution are presented, and the effect of wing elasticity on the calculated flap angles and
lift distributions is shown. Post-design analysis shows that the flap angles from the current method are successful in achieving an elliptical loading while accounting for using torsional deformations. The methodology is verified by comparing the twist predicted by the methodology to the twist predicted by a finite element analysis. Finally, an example demonstrating how the methodology handles flap effectiveness and flap reversal is provided.

▼ A importância na escolha do perfil de asa de uma aeronave é função de sua relevância no seu desempenho; influenciando desde os custos de deslocamento (consumo de combustível, nível de vôo, por exemplo), a condições de segurança do vôo (resposta em condições críticas) do avião. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar quatro perfis de asa a fim de determinar alguns dos principais parâmetros envolvidos no comportamento aerodinâmico e determinar a eficiência de cada um deles baseado em experimentação em túnel de vento. Compararam-se quatro perfis de asa, escolhidos a partir de considerações acerca das características do modelo da aeronave. Um deles apresenta uma configuração simétrica usual, sendo muito comum em aulas de laboratório por ser uma espécie de padrão aerodinâmico. O segundo perfil apresenta uma configuração do tipo côncavo-convexo; o terceiro, também é um perfil côncavo-convexo, porém, com aplicação distinta do segundo; e, finalmente, o quarto aerofólio possui um perfil plano-convexo. Para a realização do experimento utilizou-se um túnel aerodinâmico do tipo circuito aberto, onde analisaram-se as distribuições de pressão em toda a superfície de cada perfil. De posse da curva polar de arrasto de cada perfil de asa pode-se, a partir da base teórica deste trabalho, relacionar as características aerodinâmicas à expectativa de desempenho da aeronave experimental tipo JN-1, gerando assim um modelo de seleção com garantia de performance aerodinâmica. Acredita-se que a filosofia de pesquisa utilizada nesta dissertação legitima os resultados obtidos, consistindo-se em uma alternativa experimental confiável para execução de testes aerodinâmicos em modelos de perfis de asa
The great importance in selecting the profile of an aircraft wing concerns the fact that its relevance in the performance thereof; influencing this displacement costs (fuel consumption, flight level, for example), the conditions of flight safety (response in critical condition) of the plane. The aim of this study was to examine the aerodynamic parameters that affect some types of wing profile, based on wind tunnel testing, to determine the aerodynamic efficiency of each one of them. We compared three types of planforms, chosen from considerations about the characteristics of the aircraft model. One of them has a common setup, and very common in laboratory classes to be a sort of standard aerodynamic, it is a symmetrical profile. The second profile shows a conFiguration of the concave-convex type, the third is also a concave-convex profile, but with different implementation of the second, and finally, the fourth airfoil profile has a plano-convex. Thus, three different categories are covered in profile, showing the main points of relevance to their employment. To perform the experiment used a wind tunnel-type open circuit, where we analyzed the pressure distribution across the surface of each profile.

▼ Few experiments have been carried out in the past to deter mine the effect of the lift and the drag forces on the trajectory of a ball used in any game. In a baseball game, it was reported that sometimes the ball took a sharp turn aburptly in the region of 15 to 20 feet from the home plate. This indicated a sudden change of the forces acting on the ball. The principal forces acting w ere as fol lows: 1. Weight of the ball. 2. Drag force acting in the direction parallel to the relative wind. 3. Lift force acting perpendicular to the relative wind.

Dans ce cadre, l’objectif de ce travail de thèse est d'étudier finement la dispersion de particules non-sphériques rigides dans un écoulement turbulent à l’échelle mésocospique (il est supposé que les particules sont des points matériels). Pour ce faire, un suivi lagrangien de particules ellipsoïdales couplé à un code de simulation numérique directe d’un écoulement turbulent de canal a été utilisé. Cette méthode nécessite alors une bonne estimation des forces et couples hydrodynamiques agissant sur ce type de particules, ainsi qu’un couplage des équations du mouvement de translation et de rotation. En se basant sur les résultats obtenus par une simulation numérique directe résolue à l’échelle de la particule (Ansys Fluent, body-fitted method), nous avons établi, dans un premier temps, des corrélations pour les coefficients hydrodynamiques (traînée, portance, couple de tangage) dépendant du nombre de Reynolds particulaire, de la forme, et de l'orientation des particules. L’originalité de ce travail réside en la validité de ces corrélations pour des gammes étendues de facteurs de forme (rapport entre la longueur et la largeur de la particule w ∈ [0,2-32] et de Reynolds particulaires Rep ∈ [1-240]. Ces corrélations ainsi que les équations du mouvement de rotation ont été ensuite intégrées dans le code « maison » de simulation numérique directe d’un écoulement turbulent gaz-solide à l’échelle mésocospique. Après avoir validé ce code à travers différents cas tests, nous avons étudié la dispersion de différentes particules ellipsoïdales dans un écoulement de canal turbulent pour un nombre de Reynolds modéré. Trois principaux effets sont à l’étude : l’effet de forme, l'effet d'inertie et l'effet du croisement de trajectoires.
The present work is a part of a program research ANR PLAYER (started from January 2012), the aim of the project is to extend the simulations of gaz-particles flow to the non-spherical particles with a large range of inertia. The main objectives of this project consist, firstly, on the founding of hydrodynamic forces and torques occurring on these non-spherical particles. As results, we focus on the additional degrees of freedom that must be considered, shape effects and effects of inertia. Secondly, we are interested on the study of particle-turbulence interaction and particle-particle interaction. The aim of this Phd thesis consists on the studying of the dispersion of solide non-spherical particles in turbulent channel flow…
