5 days ago · Aerodynamic forces depend in a complex way on the viscosity of the air. As an object moves through the air, the air molecules stick to the surface. This creates a layer of air near the surface (called a boundary layer) which, in effect, changes the shape of the object.
6 days ago · The lift and drag are aerodynamic forces that are defined relative to the flight path. The lift is perpendicular to the flight path and the drag is along the flight path. The thrust of the aircraft is also usually aligned with the flight path.
5 days ago · Lift is an aerodynamic force (“aero” stands for the air, and “dynamic” denotes motion). Lift is directed perpendicular (at right angle) to the flight direction. As with weight, each part of the glider contributes to a single lift force.
5 days ago · Apr. 4, 2023 — A research team has demonstrated a unique method that reduces the aerodynamic resistance of ships by 7.5 per cent. This opens the way for large cargo ships borne across the oceans...
2 days ago · The Fluid Model Creation app enables you to create and manage the fluid domain in the Fluid Dynamics Engineer role. The fluid domain, fluid region, and openings can be set up using the Model Setup option or Fluid domain option available in the Fluid model creation app. These can be accessed via the Assistant Panel or the Action bar as shown below.
6 days ago · The key to achieving such exceptional maneuverability lies in the dynamic adjustment of the distance between the center of gravity (COG) and aerodynamic center (AC) across a wide range.
1 day ago · This paper introduces a novel approach for transient plasma wind tunnel testing in an arcjet facility, enabling the experimental simulation of the aerothermal loads along reentry trajectory segments. Such experiments newly allow for the investigation of the causes of break-up events. The trajectory segment is simulated by duplicating the time-resolved profiles of the characteristic flow ...
2 days ago · Using a waverider as the forebody of a high Mach number vehicle can achieve pre-compression of the incoming flow, thereby improving the inlet’s flow coefficient and total pressure recovery coefficient, as well as enhancing the vehicle’s lift-to-drag ratio [].Depending on the reference flow field, the waverider has evolved through several stages: wedge waverider, cone-derived waverider ...
4 days ago · In the present study, we define the source term as: (32) Solving (30), (31), (32) with quasi-steady assumption: (33) At the time of bursting, dr is sufficiently small compared to r, and dρ is of the same magnitude as ρ, therefore the second term in the denominator can be neglected. The velocity at R=R b is the crosswise velocity we are ...
4 days ago · The aerodynamic characteristics of new configurations are investigated, with an emphasis on validating computational methods. Aeromechanical stability boundaries of advanced rotorcraft are explored as well as rotor-fuselage interactions.
