The notion of sub-optimal Oswatitsch solutions is introduced in order to systematically conduct a tradeoff between total pressure recovery (TPR) and intake drag coefficient (CDi) for supersonic intakes. It is shown that the…
A formal optimization procedure is reported for an external-compression supersonic intake with the twin objectives of maximizing the total pressure recovery while simultaneously minimizing the intake pressure drag. Prior to that, two key…
In the area of supercritical wing design, a variety of principles, laws and rules have been summarized by scholars who perform theoretical and experimental analyses. The applicability of these rules is usually restricted by the airfoil…
Effects of a gurney flap were numerically investigated on the supercritical NASA airfoil by solving the two-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations for a range of transonic Mach numbers and angles of attack, using turbulence…
Designing photonic topological insulators is highly non-trivial because it requires inversion of band symmetries around the band gap, which was so far done using intuition combined with meticulous trial and error. Here we take a completely…
Topological materials for classical waves offer remarkable potential in applications such as sensing, waveguiding and signal processing, leveraging topological protection effects like strong robustness, immunity to backscattering and…
This paper presents a method for simultaneous optimization of the outer shape and internal topology of aircraft wings, with the objective of minimizing drag subject to lift and compliance constraints for multiple load cases. The physics are…
This research examines the aerodynamic performance of wavy (corrugated) airfoils, focusing specifically on analyzing the impact of two angles of attack: the airfoil's angle of attack and the tail's angle of attack (beta). Simulations were…
By considering the advection and interaction of the vector momentum flux in highly supersonic spherically diverging winds, we derive a simple analytic description of the asymptotic opening angle of a wind-collision shock cone, in the…
We are concerned with inverse problems for supersonic potential flows past infinite axisymmetric Lipschitz cones. The supersonic flows under consideration are governed by the steady isentropic Euler equations for axisymmetric potential…
Shocks in supersonic flows offer both a high-density and sharp density gradients that can be used, for instance,for gradient injection in laser-plasma accelerators. We report on a parametric study of oblique shocks created by inserting a…
Flatback airfoils, characterized by a blunt trailing edge, are used at the root of large wind turbine blades. A low-drag pocket has recently been identified in the flow past these airfoils at high angles of attack, potentially offering…
This study deals with generating aerodynamic indicial-admittance functions for predicting the unsteady lift of two-dimensional aerofoils in subsonic flow, using approximate numerical and analytical formulations. Both a step-change in the…
Aerodynamic inverse design can improve vehicle and aircraft efficiency, but practical design rarely seeks performance alone: vehicle refinement must reduce drag while preserving visual features linked to design language, brand recognition…
In this paper we discuss design concepts for increasing the spatial resolution, improving the sensitivity, and reducing the invasiveness in scanning Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) microscope sensors with integrated flux…
We investigate the steady inviscid compressible self-similar flows which depends only on the polar angle in spherical coordinates. It is shown that besides the purely supersonic and subsonic self-similar flows, there exists purely sonic…
An analytical solution for high supersonic flow over a circular cylinder based on Schneider's inverse method has been presented. In the inverse method, a shock shape is assumed and the corresponding flow field and the shape of the body…
Flow control for turbulent skin-friction drag reduction is applied to a transonic airfoil to improve its aerodynamic performance. The study is based on direct numerical simulations (with up to 1.8 billions cells) of the compressible…
Natural laminar flow airfoils are essential technologies designed to reduce drag and significantly enhance aerodynamic performance. A notable example is the SHM1 airfoil, created to meet the requirements of the small-business Honda jet.…
Routing and guiding acoustic waves around sharp corners without backscattering losses is of great interest in the acoustics community. Sonic crystals have been primarily utilized to design backscattering-immune waveguides. While…
