Literature Review of the Aerodynamics of Flapping Flight in Micro Air Vehicle Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Biological flapping wing flyers achieve flight maneuverability and efficiency in low speed flight environments that has not been replicated by man-made flyers. Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) design goals are to develop flyers ... -
Simulation of a Sudden Expansion Using Axis Symmetric Modeling for Newtonian Blood Flow
(North Dakota State University, 2014)This paper examines the flow of a Newtonian modeled blood through axisymmetric sudden expansion geometry. Reynolds number of 500, 2000, 3500, 5000, and 6500 are examined using laminar, shear stress transport, and base line ... -
Cavitation Inception and Contaminant Effects
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Within a liquid, it is possible to lower the pressure to a point in which the nuclei gas bubbles will cause cavitation inception. During this drop in pressure, at constant temperature, the bubble tension will increase to ...
