The two-dimensional unsteady motion of an aerofoil, situated midway between parallel walls, and moving through an inviscid, incompressible fluid, is investigated. A completely general upwash ...

The measurement of aerodynamic forces in shock tunnels is a critical area in high-speed aerodynamics research. In these facilities, short-duration, high-enthalpy flows pose unique challenges that ...

In this project an attempt has been made to evaluate the use of a narrow-width moving ground facility for wind tunnel testing of racing cars. The investigation concerned boundary layer measurements ...

Scientists in Europe researching aerodynamic forces have opened up some interesting new avenues of study inspired by fish scales. This new understanding of the flow patterns over the surface of the ...

The topic unsteady aerodynamics plays a critical role in aerospace engineering, exploring the intricate dynamic nature of the aerodynamic forces and moments generated as flexible aircraft or ...

It was a red Lamborghini Countach, parked with its scissor doors open to let the sunlight in, what most probably sparked Alex's love for cars. Even though he was less than three years old when he saw ...

Figure 1. Illustration of unified image-based aerodynamic measurement techniques Image-based aerodynamic measurement techniques are being developed at Western Michigan University's applied ...

Aerodynamics explains how airplanes fly through the interplay of four fundamental forces: lift, weight, thrust, and drag.

Christina Harvey, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, uses a combination of wind tunnel studies and modeling of inertial forces to understand how birds ...

NASA has contracted Virginia's Advanced Air Company to design and build a prototype of a new type of transition-capable eVTOL drone – a tilt-wing concept that uses aerodynamic forces instead of ...
