Abstract: A combined transpiration and opposing jet cooling method was experimentally investigated for protecting porous struts with microslits in the leading edge. Schlieren images showed that this cooling method significantly ...

Abstract: The last 50 years has witnessed significant improvement in film cooling technologies while transpiration cooling is still not implemented in turbine airfoil cooling. Although transpiration cooling could provide higher ...

Abstract: Many biological materials have outstanding properties unparalleled by artificial materials because of their periodic and/or hierarchical structures. In this paper, the longitudinal elastic wave propagation in nacrelike ...
