Simultaneous local jitter, 2-D wavefronts and accelerometer measurements were performed in the flow over a flat-window turret at Mach numbers between 0.3 and 0.4 along a centerplane with a viewing angle varying between 90 and 118 degrees. Both local and global jitter imposed on a smalland large-aperture laser beams were measured using positionsensing devices and a high-speed 2-D wavefront senso...

Analytical criteria are developed to estimate the error of aero-optical computations due to inadequate spatial resolution of refractive index fields in high Reynolds number flow simulations. The unresolved turbulence structures are assumed to be locally isotropic and at low turbulent Mach number. Based on the Kolmogorov spectrum for the unresolved structures, the computational error of the opti...

Cancers of the upper aero-digestive and gastrointestinal tract are one of the major causes of mortality around the world. DNA repair genes play a vital role in preventing carcinogenesis by maintaining genomic integrity. Polymorphisms in the nucleotide sequence of DNA repair genes are often reported to be associated with an increased risk for different cancers. The OGG1 gene encodes the enzyme 8...

Most of the materials used in the industry of aero-engine components generally consist of titanium alloys. Advanced materials, because of their excellent combination of high specific strength, light weight and general corrosion resistance. In fact, chemical wear resistance of aero-engine alloy provides a serious challenge for cutting tool material during the machining process. The reduction in ...

This paper develops and implements a framework for the computation of coupled aero-structural sensitivities which are required for the design of aircraft where aeroelastic interactions are significant. All aero-structural sensitivities are computed using high-fidelity models of both the aerodynamics and the structure of the wing with a coupled-adjoint approach that uses single discipline sensit...

[Purpose] This study was conducted to investigate the effects of an exercise program using aero-step exercise equipment on the balance ability of normal adults. [Subjects] Twenty-one normal adults were randomized into a flat floor exercise program group (FEG, n = 7), an aero-step exercise program group (AEG, n = 7), and a control group (CG, n = 7). [Methods] the FEG and AEG performed an exercis...

In this paper, the 2f/1f tunable diode laser wavelength modulation spectroscopy is used for the simultaneous measurement of concentration and temperature of CO2 in the exhaust plume of an aero engine. The suitability of the R48 spectral feature of CO2 at 1997.2 nm is discussed for this project and for further application of CO2 tomographic imaging on large-scale aero-engines. To ensure accurate...

Based on the research of complexity and non-linearity of aero-engine exhaust gas temperature (EGT) system, a regularization adaptive chaotic prediction model applied in short time forecasting of EGT was proposed. In this research, we develop a new hybrid particle swarm optimization (HPSO) arithmetic in order to improve the accuracy of the forecasting model. This arithmetic enhanced the ability ...

The problem of model-based condition monitoring of aero gas turbine engines is considered. Genetic algorithms are applied for the dynamic modelling of aero engines by estimating parameters of the linear reduced-order model. The use of genetic algorithms affords flexibility in the choice of performance metrics. Real engine data is used to investigate the performance genetic algorithms and this a...
