Fluid–structure interactions (FSI) on highly flexible structures involve large deformations and require specific techniques for a thorough investigation of the flow field structural deformation. To this purpose, physics-informed method is introduced that allows simultaneous determination fields deformation by using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) raw images. The combines apriori knowledge mech...

The unsteady separated turbulent flow around an oscillating airfoil pitching in a sinusoidal pattern in the regime of low Reynolds number is investigated numerically employing the URANS approach with two advanced turbulence models, namely the RNG kmode and Transition SST model, and the DES approach based on the SST kmodel. A comparison with experimental data shows that the SST kbased D...

Deciphering the mechanisms by which proteins fold remains a substantial challenge for structural biology. In particular, very little is known about cotranslational folding, a process in which folding begins as the nascent protein is still emerging from the ribosome. Recognizing the dearth of methods to study this early folding event, Clark and colleagues present a strategy to stall protein tran...

The memory hierarchy model is a powerful tool that can separate the stall time in a multi-level cache. However, since no tool currently exists that is able to compute this information, it is diicult to validate the model. In this respect, a processor simulator can help. With a simulator, we can directly observe the stall time due to cache misses, and thus obtain cpi 0. We succesfully validate t...

A low-order method is presented for aerodynamic prediction of wings operating at near-stall and post-stall flight conditions. The intended use in design, modeling, simulation. In this method, the flow separation due to stall modeled a vortex lattice framework as an effective reduction camber, or “decambering.” For each section wing, parabolic decambering flap, hinged location section, calculate...

Background: Lameness is a huge problem in intensive livestock production, leading to enormous losses terms of stress animals, less reproductive ability and increased chances mastitis. Zero grazing system needed for today’s but it has also led lameness chances, unnecessarily body condition score mastitis incidences. On the other hand, pasture promotes cows exhibit natural behaviour, which improv...

A gradient-based Newton–Krylov algorithm for aerodynamic shape optimization is applied to lift maximization of a multi-element landing configuration. The governing flow equations are the two-dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes equations in conjunction with a one-equation transport turbulence model. The objective function gradient is computed via the discrete-adjoint method. The design exampl...
