Abstract: Taking a lead from the humpback whale flukes, characterized by a series of bumps that result in a sinusoidallike leading edge, this paper reports on a threedimensional numerical study of sinusoidal leading edges on cambered ...

Abstract: Induced draft fans extract coalfired boiler exhaust gases in the form of a twophase flow with a dispersed solid phase made of unburnt coal and fly ash; consequently fan blades are subject to erosion causing material wear ...

Abstract: The concept of morphing geometry to control and stabilize the flow has been proposed and applied in several aeronautic and wind turbine applications. We studied the effect of a similar passive system applied on an axial ...

Abstract: In this paper we discuss a computational method focused on the prediction of unsteady aerodynamics, adequate for industrial turbomachinery. Here we focus on a single rotor device selected from a new family of large tunnel ...
