7th International Colloquium on Bluff Body Aerodynamics and Applications

an investigation of reynolds number effect on the aerodynamics of bluff body with sharp edges

in general, the aerodynamic stability of long span bridges is evaluated based on the results of wind tunnel tests in the low reynolds number region, because in almost all wind tunnel tests, it is impracticable to satisfy reynolds number similitude. therefore, in order to correctly evaluate conventional wind tunnel test results, reynolds number effects on the aerodynamic force coefficients acting o...

The 7th International Congress on Autoimmunity

International Scientific Colloquium

Recently the new induction concepts for through heating of aluminium billets before extrusion have been proposed and some installations are under successful operating in industry. The paper is devoted to consider these concepts, their advantages and perspective. The aspect of numerical modeling as a necessary tool to design the induction heating installation is described in the paper and result...

28th International Colloquium on the Pupil

Aerodynamics of the flying snake Chrysopelea paradisi: how a bluff body cross-sectional shape contributes to gliding performance.

A prominent feature of gliding flight in snakes of the genus Chrysopelea is the unique cross-sectional shape of the body, which acts as the lifting surface in the absence of wings. When gliding, the flying snake Chrysopelea paradisi morphs its circular cross-section into a triangular shape by splaying its ribs and flattening its body in the dorsoventral axis, forming a geometry with fore-aft sy...
