A Mechanically Tunable Quantum Dot in a Graphene Break Junction

Graphene quantum dots (QDs) are intensively studied as platforms for the next generation of quantum electronic devices. Fine tuning of the transport properties in monolayer graphene QDs, in particular with respect to the independent modulation of the tunnel barrier transparencies, remains challenging and is typically addressed using...

Experimental investigation of supercavitating flows

Numerical modeling for the accurate computations of arc-heater flows

The purpose of this paper is to develop an accurate analysis code for the flow of arc-heater by employing advanced numerical models. Governing equations are hyperbolic-type axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations which include joule heating by arc, radiation and turbulent transport effect. Joule heating is simply calculated by Ohm’s law with the...

An experimental study of transonic buffet of a supercritical airfoil with trailing edge flap

A supercritical airfoil with a trailing edge flap has been the subject of aerodynamic investigation in the National Aeronautical Establishment's High Reynolds Number 2-D Test Facility. The effects of flap deflection on buffet intensities and delay of buffet onset at transonic speeds were studied. Buffet boundaries for various flap angles were...
