Pressure Management on a supercritical aerofoil in transonic flow Abstract-At transonic speeds an aerofoil will have flow accelerate onwards from the leading edge to sonic speeds and produce a shockwave over the surface of its body. One factor that determines the shockwave location is the flow speed. However, the shape of an aerofoil also has an influence. The experiment conducted compared Mach flow over a supercritical aerofoil (flattened upper surface) and a naca0012 aerofoil (symmetrical).

Rubi’s props, talking through the physics of airfoil efficiency in P2. Then, head out to the flight field for a blade number experiment in P1. Keep building FPV skills in C1 and the DP. When the batteries are done, come back inside for flight simulator practice in C2. If your batteries gave out before everyone had a chance to make it through all the flight activities, head out for a second, or third, day. How does Newton’s Third Law explain how airfoils create lift? (When the air pushes down on the

Undergraduate Research Prajeepkumar G Nair ID: 3767986 Prof: Yiding Cao EML 4911 Undergrad Research Mechanical and Materials Engineering Department Florida International University September 19th, 2014 Abstract The aerodynamic characteristics of a Circulation Control Wing (CCW) air foil have been investigated and comparison studies were made by different companies and aeronautic organization throughout world. The program has been very intense and many original results have been granted

e) Stage and airflow through a stage in axial flow compressor A stage is a pair of rotating airfoil and stationary airfoil in an axial flow compressor. As the air passes through the rotating airfoil (also called a blade or rotor), its velocity increases. High velocity air then passes through the stationary airfoil (also known as the stator or just vanes) where it is retarded converting the kinetic energy due to velocity increase into static pressure. f) Reasons for twisting axial flow compressor

1.1 The Research of Flapping Wing Motion Flapping wing motion is observed from biological flying animals. Most scientist, biologists and naturalists are attracted by this motion and have found over a million different species of insects and 10,000 types of birds and bats fly with flapping wings [1]. In 1490, Leonardo da Vinci made a flapping wings vehicle, also called ornithopter as shown in Figure 1.1, to explain and demonstrate the theory of thrust generated from flapping wings. A huge amount of

by the self-weight or due to acceleration due to gravity was discussed and the deflection over here should be calculated. The wing model is severely affected by the loads on along wing direction, across wing direction, vertical direction.NACA 2412 airfoil was taken for designing wing. FLUENT was used for computational fluid dynamic analysis to determine the lift and drag for wing during zero degreed flaps and angled

A frisbee is a disk-shaped toy that flies using Newton’s Third Law and Bernoulli’s Principle. In 1938 Fred and Lucile Morrison began to sell the early frisbee. The Frisbees that Fred and Lucile originally sold were cake pans. Today’s frisbees are made of polyethylene, the largest volume of plastic consumed in the world. Each year more frisbees are sold than footballs, baseballs, and basketballs combined. Frisbees are used in sports too. They are used in sports such as ultimate frisbee and frisbee

To acquire some perspective and information on the current flapping wing MAVs, it is useful to investigate the existing product that has been completed by a variety of research groups, companies and personal maker. Depending on distinct different size, flapping wing air vehicles (ornithopers) can be differentiated into two groups, MAVs and full-size ornithopters. The first group, as mentioned is the vehicles with dimensions less than 0.2m. The second group is relevant to large vehicles. The concerns

though it never should happen. Its more or less circular flight path comes from the interaction of two physical phenomena: the aerodynamic lift of the arms of the boomerang and the spinning boomerang’s maintenance of angular momentum. Briefly put, the airfoil at the boomerang’s forward rotating edge provides more lift than its rearward rotating edge. This elevates one side of the boomerang. The spinning object maintains angular momentum by turning at a right angle to its axis of rotation. When the spin

design of today’s modern wind turbine. And when grouped together into a wind farm, wind turbines are becoming an important source of renewable energy. HAWT blades are designed like airplane wings in order to use lift to capture the wind’s energy. The airfoil design that they use makes one surface of the blade rounded, while the other is smooth and flat. [3] When air passes through the blades, a difference in pressure is created between the top and bottom of the blade. The introduction of the blade into
