This paper describes the conceptual design of a micro coaxial unmanned aerial vehicle (MCR UAV v3.0) based on its flight dynamics and simple aerodynamic analysis using computational fluid (CFD). In addition, linear control is proposed with pole assignment technique. The methodology in this involves standardized path for designing novel UAV. begins by selecting avionics to create primary dimensi...

The paper aims to simulate the chemical transport of ammonia vapor with density ρ = 0.6894 kg/m and coefficient of viscosity μ = 1.015e-05 kg/m-s inside the healthy Indian nose by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique and to analyze the olfactory sensitivity. The computed tomographic images of a healthy adult with normal nasal structure and function was used to built a physically realist...

A heat sink with ionic wind has been developed in this study for a new cooling device of a Light Emitting Diode (LED). The characteristics of the ionic wind using wire to parallel-plate-electrodes were analyzed using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique suggested in this study. Also, the cooling performance of the heat sink applied by the impinging flow of the ionic wind was investi...

The multi-block overset grid method is a powerful technique for high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations about complex aerospace configurations. The solution process uses a grid system that discretizes the problem domain by using separately generated but overlapping structured grids that periodically update and exchange boundary information through interpolation. For efficie...

This paper presents a new technique for shape and topology optimization of fluid channels using generative design synthesis methods. The proposed method uses the generative abilities of graph grammars with simulation and analysis power of conventional CFD methods. The graph grammar interpreter GraphSynth is used to carry out graph transformations, which define different topologies for a given m...

Large-eddy simulation has been used to model the atmospheric boundary layer flowing through a span-wise periodic array of wind turbines. The wind turbines are modelled using a coupled simulation in which the FAST wind turbine simulation code from NREL operates within a CFD environment. The wind turbines are implemented in the flow-field using the actuator sector technique, and operate dynamical...

Full-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are presented for nano electrospray ionization (ESI) with various emitter designs. Our CFD electrohydrodynamic simulations are based on the Taylor-Melcher leaky-dielectric model, and the volume of fluid technique for tracking the fast-changing liquid-gas interface. The numerical method is first validated for a conventional 20 μm in...

Draft tube designs have to a large extend been based on intuition and on the experience of the design engineer. In a close future, CFD simulations coupled with optimisation algorithms will assist in the search for an optimal technical solution. Such a shape optimisation technique to redesign an existing draft tube is presented in this paper. By this method, a design can be predicted in terms of...

We present a new method of treatment for nasal valve dysfunction caused by insufficiency or stenosis in a patient who refused open septum revision despite a significant degree of septum deviation. The Anterior Spreader Flap (ASF) technique was suggested as an alternative to open nasal septum revision and was performed under local anesthesia. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tests were perform...

Elevated circulating cell-free DNA (CFD) levels were found in patients with cancer. The standard CFD assays are work-intensive and expensive. The aim was to evaluate in patients with cancer a new simple CFD assay. In mice inoculated with cancer cells, CFD levels correlated with tumor size. Compared with healthy subjects, 38 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) had higher preoperative CFD level...
