1. Aerodynamic Evaluation of Different Car Carrier Devices for Drag Reduction Using CFD
ABSTRACT: Aerodynamic of commercial trucks has been extensively studied due to their impact on fuel efficiency; reducing consumption is one of the most important and challenging issues for the trucking industry. In this paper, several Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations are performed to evaluate the drag of a standard car carrier and its different

2. Experimental study of the diffusion-controlled corrosion of copper in the bottom of a jet stirred reactor
Abstract Jet stirred tank reactors are usually preferred to mechanically stirred tank reactors in the case of high pressure stirred tank reactors in order to avoid the mechanical problems inherent with mechanically agitated reactors. Owing to the impact force exercised by the fluid jet on the tank bottom, the tank bottom is subjected to severe corrosion. The

3. Two-dimensional Flow of Power-law Fluids over a Pair of Cylinders in a Side-by-Side Arrangement in the Laminar Regime
Abstract This manuscript presents the effect of Reynolds number (Re) and proximity of the bodies on the hydrodynamics of flow of shear-thinning, Newtonian and shear-thickening fluids over a pair of cylinders kept in side-by-side arrangement. Results obtained from the numerical simulations carried out with a combination of different parameters in the range of

6. Numerical Simulation of the Wake Structure and Thrust/Lift Generation of a Pitching Airfoil at Low Reynolds Number Via an Immersed Boundary Method
ABSTRACT: In this study, an accurate computational algorithm in the context of immersed boundary methods is developed and used to analyze an incompressible flow around a pitching symmetric airfoil at Reynolds number (Re = 255). The boundary conditions are accurately implemented by an iterative procedure applied at each time step, and the pressure is also upd

7. Estimation of Pico-Satellite Attitude Dynamics and External Torques via Unscented Kalman Filter
ABSTRACT: In this study, an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) algorithm is designed for estimating the attitude of a pico-satellite and the in-orbit external disturbance torques. The estimation vector is formed by the satellite's attitude, angular rates, and the unknown constant components of the external disturbance torques acting on the satellite. The gravity
