Vortex Formation during Draining from Cylindrical Tanks: Effect of Drain Port Eccentricity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports an experimental study on the combined effect of drain port eccentricity and port diameter on air core vortex formation in a cylindrical tank with a rotating liquid column. The study is motivated by the ...
Vortex Suppression through Drain Port Sizing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports on an experimental study motivated by the issue of vortex formation in fuel tanks of liquid propulsion rockets. In this study, vortex funnel (vortex-air core) formation during draining of liquids from ...

Experimental Investigation of Effect of Winglets on the Aerodynamic Performance of a Mini UAV
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This experimental investigation focuses on the feasibility of attaching winglets to an indigenously developed fixed-wing mini unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to improve its aerodynamic efficiency. Winglets are well known for ...
Flow Structures around a Square Cylinder: Effect of Corner Chamfering
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, results of a flow visualization study on the flow around a square cylinder with corner chamfering are presented. The corners of the test cylinders were chamfered with each corner forming a triangle with ...
