Flying animals possess highly complex physical characteristics and are capable of performing agile maneuvers using their wings. The flapping wings generate complex wake structures that influence the aerodynamic forces, which can be…

We develop hybrid RANS-LES strategies within the spectral element code Nek5000 based on the $k-\tau$ class of turbulence models. We chose airfoil sections at small flight configurations as our target problem to comprehensively test the…

We train active neural-network flow controllers using a deep learning PDE augmentation method to optimize lift-to-drag ratios in turbulent airfoil flows at Reynolds number $5\times10^4$ and Mach number 0.4. Direct numerical simulation and…

Flying animals resort to fast, large-degree-of-freedom motion of flapping wings, a key feature that distinguishes them from rotary or fixed-winged robotic fliers with limited motion of aerodynamic surfaces. However, flapping-wing…

Aeroelastic structures, from insect wings to wind turbine blades, experience transient unsteady aerodynamic loads that are coupled to their motion. Effective real-time control of flexible structures relies on accurate and efficient…

This work describes a novel mechanism of laminar flow control of a backward swept wing with a comb-like leading edge device. It is inspired by the leading-edge comb on owl feathers and the special design of its barbs, resembling a cascade…

The results of a DNS of the flow around a wing section represented by a NACA4412 profile, with Rec = 400, 000 and 5 degree angle of attack, are presented in this study. The high-order spectral element code Nek5000 was used for the…

The tendency of a jet to stay attached to a flat or convex surface is called the Coand\u{a} effect and has many potential technical applications. The aim of this thesis is to assess how well Computational Fluid Dynamics can capture it. A…

We conducted high-resolution large-eddy simulations (LESs) to explore the effects of opposition control (OC) on turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) over a wing at a chord-based Reynolds number (${Re}_c$) of 200,000. Two scenarios were studied:…

Coherent motions associated with extreme wall shear stress events are investigated for adverse pressure gradient turbulent boundary layers (APG-TBLs). The analyses are performed using wall-resolved large eddy simulations of a NACA0012…

The purpose of this work is to investigate the flow around a fixed NACA0012 airfoil profile at different angles of attack using wall-resolved LES. The profile has a chord length of c=0.1 m and is exposed to a flow at a Reynolds number of…

Cross-flow turbines convert kinetic power in wind or water currents to mechanical power. Unlike axial-flow turbines, the influence of geometric parameters on turbine performance is not well-understood, in part because there are neither…

An array of twelve circular-orifice synthetic jet actuators (SJAs) was used to provide the unsteady forcing required for flow separation control over a National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 0025 airfoil at a chord-based…

We present a numerical study to characterize nonlinear unsteady aeroelastic interactions of two-dimensional flexible wings at high angles of attack. The coupled fluid-flexible wing system is solved by a body-fitted variational aeroelastic…

An investigation of turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) is presented for a NACA0012 airfoil at angles of attack 9 and 12 deg. Wall-resolved large eddy simulations (LES) are conducted for a freestream Mach number M = 0.2 and chord-based…

We investigate the effect of imposed kinematics on the self-propulsion of the NACA0015 symmetric airfoil section subject to sinusoidal pitching. We employ a rotary apparatus capable of achieving self-propulsion. A power-spring-based…

In this work, we have performed numerical simulations of the flapping motion of a rectangular wing in a three-dimensional flow field using the discrete vortex method (DVM). The DVM method is computationally more convenient because it does…

The nature and behaviour of the drag coefficient of irregularly shaped grains within a wide range of Reynolds numbers is discussed. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools, the behaviour of the boundary layer at high Re has been…

Spanwise wall forcing in the form of streamwise-travelling waves is applied to the suction side of a transonic airfoil with a shock wave to reduce aerodynamic drag. The study, conducted using direct numerical simulations, extends earlier…
