Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are subjected to platform motion induced by wind and wave loads. The oscillatory movement trigger vortex instabilities, modifying the wake structure, influencing the flow reaching downstream wind…

The influence of the bending rigidity of a flexible heaving wing on its propulsive performance in a two-dimensional imposed parallel flow is investigated in the inviscid limit. Potential flow theory is used to describe the flow over the…

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…

During the phase of landing, an important aircraft-noise source emanates from the interaction of the landing-gear wake with the deployed flap. In the present work we cast this problem in an academic framework, by studying a simplified…

We designed and built a three degrees-of-freedom (DOF) flapping wing robot, Flapperoo, to study the aerodynamic benefits of wing folding and twisting. Forces and moments of this physical model are measured in wind tunnel tests over a…

We report the experimental observation of vortex leapfrogging in a two-dimensional fluid of light. By imprinting two vortex-antivortex pairs and tracking their real-time evolution through phase-resolved imaging, we observe a dynamics that…

This study reports on the vortex-induced lift production mechanisms in low Reynolds number flows over low aspect-ratio rectangular wings. We use a rigorous force partitioning method which allows for the estimation of the pressure-induced…

Rotor blades of wind turbines in the atmospheric boundary layer regularly experience the aerodynamic phenomenon of dynamic stall consisting of a temporary overshoot of lift and detrimental fatigue loads. Particularly the formation of…

Flexible structures in an incoming perpendicular flow typically undergo elastic reconfiguration that reduces drag; however, at higher velocities, they are prone to dynamical instabilities that entail complex wake dynamics and fluctuating…

A two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model is used to predict the oscillatory flow through a tapered cylindrical tube section (jet pump) placed in a larger outer tube. Due to the shape of the jet pump, there will exist an…

The flow around a cylinder oscillating in the streamwise direction with a frequency, $f_f$, much lower than the shedding frequency, $f_s$, has been relatively less studied than the case when these frequencies have the same order of…

Wakes of aircraft and automobiles with relatively flat slanted aftbodies are often characterized by a streamwise-oriented vortex pair, whose strength affects drag and other crucial performance parameters. We examine the stability…

This study presents a numerical investigation of how fluid viscoelasticity influences the flow dynamics past a transversely forced oscillating cylinder in the laminar vortex shedding regime at a fixed Reynolds number of 100. In particular,…

We analyze the flow of a planar gas jet impinging on a thin film, dragged by a vertical moving wall. In the coating industry, this configuration is known as jet wiping, a process in which impinging jets control the thickness of liquid…

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) and modal analysis techniques are applied to investigate the flow over a NACA-0012 airfoil at a Reynolds number of 50,000. Three different sweep angles are considered, namely 0, 20 and 40 degrees, for two…

We propose and validate a data-driven approach for modeling large-amplitude flow-induced oscillations of elastically mounted pitching wings. We first train a neural networks regression model for the nonlinear aerodynamic moment using data…

Time-varying flow-induced forces on bodies immersed in fluid flows play a key role across a range of natural and engineered systems, from biological locomotion to propulsion and energy-harvesting devices. These transient forces often arise…

The expanding application in Micro-Air Vehicles has encouraged many researchers to understand the unsteady flow around a flapping foil at a low Reynolds number. We numerically investigate an incompressible unsteady flow around a…

While tapered swept wings are widely used, the influence of taper on their post-stall wake characteristics remains largely unexplored. To address this issue, we conduct an extensive study using direct numerical simulations to characterize…

Flapping animal flight is often modeled as a combined pitching and heaving motion in order to investigate the unsteady flow structures and resulting forces that could augment the animal's lift and propulsive capabilities. This work isolates…
