A Medium-Fidelity Method for Rapid Maximum Lift Estimation

A medium fidelity tool has been developed for the computation of a wing's maximum lift coefficient in low speed while adhering to conceptual aircraft details. This tool is part of the Initiator which is a conceptual/preliminary aircraft design tool developed by the FPP group. The methodology comprises out of a synergy between empirical...

Improving Spatial Resolution of Tomo-PIV using Particle Tracks with Vortex-in-Cell

Tomographic PIV is one of the most recent and advanced tools used in experimental fluid dynamics. Low spatial resolution is currently a problem in large scale tomo-PIV as concentration. A novel technique is proposed which leverages the temporal information of full Lagrangian particle tracks to improve the spatial resolution of tomo-PIV in low...
