In the pursuit of accurate experimental and computational data while minimizing effort, there is a constant need for high-fidelity results. However, achieving such results often requires significant computational resources. To address this challenge,...

Wheels and wheelhouses are a significant source of aerodynamic drag on passenger cars. The use of air jets, in the form of an air curtain, to smooth the airflow around front wheel housings on cars has become common practice, as it produces a small dr...

Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for bridge inspection is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to improve efficiency and ensure the safety of monitoring personnel. Compared to traditional manual monitoring methods, UAV inspections ar...

In this research, a wide-body aircraft was analyzed with critical monitoring of its states, a function of several control inputs (wind gust, turbulence, and microburst). The aerodynamic and stability coefficients of a Boeing 747-200 were obtained fro...

Some dams globally have negatively affected downstream structures. Constructing subsidiary weirs may solve this problem. This novel study focuses on investigating the parameters of seepage beneath the original structure and the proposed subsidiary we...

A Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is formed when two fluids of different densities exert a shear on one another at their interface when flowing in opposite directions. This paper presents a step-by-step guide for the design of a low-cost, small-scale, e...

Liquid composite molding techniques are largely used to produce pieces such as truck cabins or wind turbine blades. The liquid resin infusion processes use a network of injection channels to improve the resin flow through a porous-reinforced medium....

In 2021, approximately 51% of patients diagnosed with kidney tumors underwent surgical resections. One possible way to reduce complications from surgery is to minimise the associated blood loss, which, in the case of partial nephrectomy, is caused by...

Due to their long-lived nature, vortex rings are highly promising for the non-contact transportation of colloidal microparticles. However, because of the high complexity of the structures, their description using rigorous, closed-form mathematical ex...

Bubble columns (BCs) are widely used in the chemical industry. In many industrial applications, these important gas-liquid contactors operate in a churn-turbulent flow regime. In principle, it is essential to determine the operating conditions in eve...
