Quadrupole noise generated from a low-speed aerofoil in near- and full-stall conditions

The Aerodynamic Noise of a Slot in an Aerofoil

SUMMARY This Report describes a theoretical investigation of the noise generated when turbulence interacts with a slot between a wing and flap. The slot is modelled by the region between two overlapping, semi-infinite rigid planes representing the wing and flap, and sound is produced when turbulence convects above, below or through the slot. The analysis determines the dependence of the radiate...

Sufficient conditions for the additivity of stall forces generated by multiple filaments or motors.

Molecular motors and cytoskeletal filaments work collectively most of the time under opposing forces. This opposing force may be due to cargo carried by motors or resistance coming from the cell membrane pressing against the cytoskeletal filaments. Some recent studies have shown that the collective maximum force (stall force) generated by multiple cytoskeletal filaments or molecular motors may ...

Quadrupole and octupole radiation from 16O near 39 MeV excitation.

Uncertainty quantification of low - speed fan noise

Uncertainty quantification (UQ) has been achieved for the first time on the self-noise prediction of a low-subsonic axial fan. Realistic 5% and 4% errors are introduced on the volume flow-rate and the rotational speed, respectively, and a set of 81 ReynoldsAveraged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations of the fan mounted on an axisymmetric test plenum has been simulated at Clenshaw-Curtis points. By...

Analysis of Low-Speed Stall Aerodynamics of a Swept Wing with Laminar-Flow Glove

Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was conducted to study the low-speed stall aerodynamics of a GIII aircraft’s swept wing modified with a laminar-flow wing glove. The stall aerodynamics of the gloved wing were analyzed and compared with the unmodified wing for the flight speed of 120 knots and altitude of 2300 ft above mean sea level (MSL). The S...
