Small fixed-wing UAS that are able to hover combine the station keeping abilities of a rotary wing platform and the extended range of conventional aircraft. Current autopilots for these vehicles rely on inertial measurements plus airspeed to transition from forward flight to hover, accumulating appreciable position error during the transition. Once in hover, a combination of inertial and GPS da...

Control power on rotor wind turbine can be carried out by changing blade angle of attack through via pitch control and stall regulated method to produce much as well protect from high operate in rated power. By using search-based design optimize Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT) analyze aerodynamic performance for Recent work demonstrates that some very significant effect achieved constant s...

Axial flow compressors are subjected to demands for ever-increasing levels of pressure ratio at a compression efficiency that augments the overall cycle efficiency. However, unstable flow may develop in the compressor, which can lead to a stall or surge and subsequently to gas turbine failure resulting in significant downtime and cost to repair. To protect against these potential aerodynamic in...

This study employs a numerical simulation method that combines the plasma body force model based on electrostatics with Navier–Stokes equations to investigate coupling mechanism of flow fields induced by multistage dielectric-barrier discharge (MDBD) actuation. Compared conventional single-stage alternating-current DBD (AC-DBD) actuation, MDBD actuation provides higher intensity and larger cont...

This tutorial explains the surge phenomenon as well as the precursors of surge and the damage that surge can cause to the equipment. Then, methods to keep the compressor system from surge, i.e., modern surge control systems, are discussed. This includes the necessary instruments, algorithms used, as well as the piping layout required. Sizing considerations for valves and other system components...

Low-Reynolds number wings are susceptible to flow separation due to high viscous effects. Combined with wind gusts, the aerodynamic performance can highly fluctuate. In this study, we continue to investigate the open-loop and closed-loop control strategies aimed at mitigating lift fluctuations due to free-stream unsteadiness for a SD7003 airfoil at the chord Reynolds number of 1000. The flow co...

A fixed-wing aircraft that is capable of low airspeed, high angle of attack flight can serve an expanded range of mission goals. A typical propeller-driven small unmanned aircraft can be equipped with an engine that provides greater thrust than airplane weight; in post-stall states, the aircraft then depends on propeller backwash over the tail for control moment generation. Due to this dependen...

This study investigated the effects of viewing a primary flight display at different retinal eccentricities on human manual control behavior and performance. Ten participants performed a pitch tracking task while looking at a simplified primary flight display at different horizontal and vertical retinal eccentricities, and with two different controlled dynamics. Tracking performance declined at...
