Ramesh, Adithya (author)The Dutch Electric Aviation Centre possesses and uses a Cessna Skymaster 337F as an experimental flying testbed to help gain knowledge to aid the transition towards hybrid/ electric aviation. The interaction between the rear propeller slipstream and the horizontal tail has been likened to the interaction of propeller-wing configurations seen on...master thesis 2022

Westheim, Michael (author)Interest in powered flight on Mars has been growing in recent years, and as such new developments are being made in determining the effects the Martian atmosphere has on the flow physics and performance, specifically with regards to similarity parameters: the Reynolds number & the Mach number. This paper aimed to investigate whether the...master thesis 2022

Fehrs, Michael (author), Ritter, Markus (author), Helm, Sebastian (author), Mertens, C. (author)The Pazy Wing test case is a benchmark for the investigation of aeroelastic effects at very large deflections. Tip deformations in the order of 50% span were measured in wind tunnel tests, which renders this model highly attractive for the validation of numerical aeroelastic methods and tools for geometrically nonlinear, large deflection...conference paper 2022

Bunk, Yannick (author)The development of a high-fidelity fluid-structure interaction tool for the simulation of aircraft flight dynamics in the subsonic flow regime is presented. The tool combines a high-fidelity large-eddy simulation code with an immersed boundary method, a multibody solver and a loose coupling scheme between fluid and solid. The development of the...master thesis 2022

Estrella, Jorge (author), Wüthrich, D. (author), Chanson, Hubert (author)A hydraulic jump is a region of rapidly-varied flow that is extremely turbulent. While the one-dimensional continuity and momentum principles have been successfully applied to express the relationships between upstream and downstream conditions, the three-dimensional equations cannot be resolved without some complicated turbulence closure,...journal article 2022

Van Veen, Wouter G. (author), Van Leeuwen, Johan L. (author), van Oudheusden, B.W. (author), Muijres, Florian T. (author)To generate aerodynamic forces required for flight, two-winged insects (Diptera) move their wings back and forth at high wing-beat frequencies. This results in exceptionally high wing-stroke accelerations, and consequently relatively high acceleration-dependent fluid forces. Quasi-steady fluid force models have reasonable success in relating...journal article 2022

(author), Zhu, Hongjun (author), Srinil, Narakorn (author), Lee, Byung Hyuk (author), Kim, Do Kyun (author)The application of unsteady incompressible flow phenomenon over the bluff bodies has received the attention of many researchers due to the rich and complex physics underpinning these flows, and thus requiring special attention in their modelling and numerical simulations. The wake that forms at the leeside of the bluff body is of particular...review 2022

van Hoogstraten, Daan (author)This work presents an experimental and analytical investigation of unsteady loading of a low Reynolds number propeller and its relation to aeroacoustics. The propeller is positioned at an angle of attack with respect to the freestream which causes a variation in loading along the azimuth. The propeller is operated at 4000 RPM with an advance...master thesis 2021

Pandey, Akash Pandey (author)Advancements in technology have made commercial unmanned aerial vehicles reliable and readily available, leading to an exponential rise in their market demand over the past few years. COVID-19 has further accelerated this growth through an increase in demand for contact-less delivery and crowd monitoring systems. However,...master thesis 2021

van Voorden, Jeroen (author)The design of current skating suits is based on the assumption that the flow across the skater body parts is highly similar to cylinder flow. The latter features drag crisis behaviour, resulting in significant drag reduction at the critical Reynolds number. However, whether the aforementioned assumption is valid and whether a drag crisis along...master thesis 2021

Casalino, D. (author), Grande, E. (author), Romani, G. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Avallone, F. (author)Experimental and numerical results of a propeller of 0.3 m diameter operated at 5000 RPM and axial velocity ranging from 0 to 20 m/s and advance ratio ranging from 0 to 0.8 are presented as a preliminary step towards the definition of a benchmark configuration for low Reynolds number propeller aeroacoustics. The corresponding rotational tip...journal article 2021

Terra, W. (author), Sciacchitano, A. (author), Scarano, F. (author)The Reynolds number effects on body limbs of a cyclist model, namely leg and arm, are investigated via robotic volumetric Particle Image Velocimetry measurements in the velocity range from 5 m/s to 25 m/s. The near wakes of such body limbs feature recirculation regions whose width and length are governed not only by the taper of the body...journal article 2020

Derksen, Adriaan (author)Recent innovations in the off-shore wind industry have lead to bigger wind turbines and taller support structures. These towers can suffer from vortex-induced vibrations (VIV). The present work couples the open-source CFD solver OpenFOAM with a structural solver to investigate these fluid-structure interactions (FSI) effects in more detail. 2D...master thesis 2019

Crespo Pradell, Oriol (author)This master thesis focuses in the study of the application of active flow control in the transitional regime (Re ≈ 3E3) at the rear part of the roof of a 2D Ahmed body geometry. To do so, the natural bifurcations of the problem (which separate the ordered laminar behavior from the first pre-turbulent chaotic behavior) are studied, and different...master thesis 2018

Hogeweg, Marijn (author)Looking at performance prediction of small coaxial rotorcraft, it was found that there are no fast methods available for designers. This research was aimed at using a blade element method in combination with the momentum theory to quickly predict the performance at small coaxial rotorcraft. These methods are successfully applied in larger...master thesis 2017

Jongsma, C.J. (author)From the bacteria living on a keyboard to algae surviving in snow, microorganisms can be found virtually everywhere on the planet. Due to their small size, microorganism swim in the low Reynolds number regime, which has important consequences for their swimming strategies. For motility, these organisms commonly use long slender filaments known...master thesis 2016

Fiscaletti, D. (author), Westerweel, J. (author), Elsinga, G.E. (author)The investigation of flows at high Reynolds number is of great interest for the theory of turbulence, in that the large and the small scales of turbulence show a clear separation. But, as the Reynolds number of the flow increases, the size of the Kolmogorov length scale ( ? ) drops almost proportionally. Aiming at achieving the adequate spatial...journal article 2014
