in this paper, considering the importance of incoming flow turbulence intensity into combustion chamber, tripping wire effect on the flow wake has been experimentally investigated within a linear compressor cascade. to do this, two wires were implemented along each blade and their effects on average velocity, turbulence intensity and vortices frequencies at reynolds number 45500 were accurately...

A high-order spectral difference flow solver for compressible three-dimensional NavierStokes (N-S) equations has been utilized to numerically simulate the unsteady flow over the NACA 0012 airfoil undergoing a sinusoidal pitching motion at the Reynolds (Re) number of 12600. The effects of the reduced frequency and Strouhal number on the wake vortex structure and force coefficient have been studi...

The previous studies of authors on passive micromixers indicated that the micromixers dividing the flow to several layers, such as rhombus micromixers and micromixers with obstacles in the middle of the mixing channel, have higher mixing degree than other types. Also, using of oscillatory inlet velocities is an active method to enhance the mixing efficiency of micromixers. Therefore, in this st...

The aim of this study is to test the validity of Froude number (NFr) or Strouhal number (Str) to determine intersubjects similar running patterns. Twenty male and eighteen female subjects ran barefoot on a runway equipped with a force platform. The running tests were performed in three experimental conditions. C0: all subjects ran at the same absolute velocity V=3.5 m.s; C1: the velocity was de...

The wake in the flow past a circular cylinder has posed a long-standing challenge to scientists since the late 19th century. Many aspects of this seemingly simple phenomenon remain unexplained. Of particular interest is the relationship between the dimensionless vortex shedding frequency (the Strouhal number St) and the ratio of inertial to viscous forces in the fluid (the Reynolds number Re). ...

Abstract The thrust producing performance and efficiency of an SD8020 oscillating foil with a symmetrical saw-tooth angle of attack pitching profile was studied through force and torque measurements, as well as dye flow visualization, in the water tunnel at low Reynolds number of 13,000-16,000. The propulsive efficiency and thrust coefficient of the pitching foil were determined as a function o...
