Intelligent Anti-Jamming Decision Algorithm of Bivariate Frequency Hopping Pattern Based on DQN With PER and Pareto
To improve the anti-jamming performance of frequency hopping system in complex electromagnetic environment, a Deep Q-Network algorithm with priority experience replay (PER) based on Pareto samples (PPER-DQN) is proposed, which...
Flow control of tip/edge vortices
Ismet Gursul, Zhijin Wang
May 01, 2018

Location, strength, and structure of tip and edge vortices shed from wings and bodies can be manipulated by using flow control techniques. Flow physics of these approaches involve flow separation from the edge, roll-up into...

Xenopus DPPA2 is a Direct Inhibitor of Microtubule Polymerization Required for Nuclear Assembly
John Zhao Xue
Jan 01, 0001
The eukaryotic nucleus mediates the genomic functions of information storage and gene expression, but must be completely rebuilt after every open mitosis as well as during fertilization. Nuclear abnormalities are observed in...

Thrust enhancement due to flexible trailing-edge of plunging foils
Drag reduction for hydrofoils is studied through thrust generation on foils plunging at low Strouhal numbers in order to simulate the action of the ocean waves. Force, deformation and flow field measurements are presented for a...
Post-stall flow control on aerofoils by leading-edge flags
Self-excited oscillations of flags attached at the leading-edge of aerofoils have been investigated at post-stall angles of attack at a chord Reynolds number of 100,000. Significant increases in the time-averaged lift...
Lift Enhancement of a Stationary Wing in a Wake
A stationary wing placed in the wake of a bluff body experiences lift enhancement. The quasi-periodic flow in the wake causes excitation of the separated flow in the post-stall conditions. The increase in the time-averaged lift...
Self-excited flag vibrations produce post-stall flow control

We present experiments demonstrating that a small flag attached to the surface of an airfoil near the leading edge exhibits self-excited oscillations when the airfoil is set at a post-stall angle of attack. The limit cycle...

Variable Selection for a Categorical Varying-Coefficient Model with Identifications for Determinants of Body Mass Index
Obesity has become one of the major public health issues during the last three decades. A considerable number of determinants have been proposed for body mass index (BMI) by a large range of studies from multiple disciplines. In...
Modified near-wakes of axisymmetric cylinders with slanted base
Near-wakes of axisymmetric cylinders with slanted base were investigated in wind tunnel experiments for an upsweep angle of 28°. Effects of splitter-plate, cavity, and flaps on the afterbody vortices and separated flow were...
Self-excited flag vibrations produce post-stall flow control

We present experiments demonstrating that a small flag attached to the surface of an airfoil near the leading edge exhibits self-excited oscillations when the airfoil is set at a post-stall angle of attack. The limit cycle...

Interaction of Vortex Streets with a Downstream Wing
The unsteady aerodynamics of a wing in the wake of a periodically plunging upstream airfoil was investigated in water tunnel experiments. By varying the frequency and the amplitude of the plunge oscillations, vortex-street...
Control of Upswept Afterbody Vortices Using Continuous and Pulsed Blowing

Anexperimental study was performed in a water tunnel to evaluate the effects of continuous and pulsed blowing jets on the counter-rotating vortices generated by the afterbody of a slanted base cylinder. Drag reductions from...

Aerodynamics of a wing in turbulent bluff body wakes

The aerodynamics of a stationary wing in a turbulent wake are investigated. Force and velocity measurements are used to describe the unsteady flow. Various wakes are studied with different dominant frequencies and length...

Effect of pre-strain and excess length on unsteady fluid-structure interactions of membrane airfoils
Aerodynamic characteristics of two-dimensional membrane airfoils were experimentally investigated in a wind tunnel. The effects of the membrane pre-strain and excess length on the unsteady aspects of the fluid-structure...

Three-dimensional measurements of vortex breakdown
Leading-edge vortex formation and breakdown have been measured over a periodically plunging non-slender delta wing at a high angle of attack, using a three-dimensional particle-tracking method. A very rare type of vortex...
Drag Reduction by Manipulation of Afterbody Vortices
Drag force, surface pressure and particle image velocimetry measurements have
been carried out in wind tunnel experiments in order to study the effect of minispoilers on the drag of an axisymmetric cylinder with a slanted...
Coherence of unsteady wake of periodically plunging airfoil

We present an experimental investigation of the flow structure in the near wake of a NACA0012 airfoil plunging sinusoidally at a chord Reynolds number of Re = 20 000 and for a wide range of reduced frequency k and Strouhal...
