Magnus rotor is essentially a rotating cylinder that generates lift due to Magnus effect. The effect has been generating curiosity in a wide variety of fields ranging from sports to alternate energy. The wind turbine under investigation replaces tradition blades that have an airfoil cross-section, with such Magnus rotors. In this paper, Magnus wind turbines with three and five rotors have been analyzed at various velocity ratios and tip speed ratios. The primary motive is to find the best operating conditions for obtaining a higher lift to drag coefficient for both three and five rotor turbines, so that it can generate more power with the least available wind. It has been observed that the higher ratio of coefficient of lift to coefficient of drag values were obtained for lower values of tip speed ratio, which is in contrast to the requirement of higher tip speed ratios for turbines with airfoil cross-section. This translates to the fact that Magnus wind turbines can be an efficient solution to the generation of wind power with less noise generation, since the noise generated by a wind turbine decreases with decrease in the tip speed ratio.

Multi Particle Finite Element Method (MPFEM) which is a power full approach for particle systems analyzes particle interactions via different friction models. In this study, Amontons-Coulomb constant friction (ACM), Wanheim/Bay generalized friction (WBM) and Levanov's friction models (LFM) are utilized in MPFEM in order to obtain coefficient of friction at particle-particle and particle-die wall interactions in spherical copper powder compaction. Friction models are introduced into the analysis by user subroutines. Compaction processes at room temperature and at 270°C were investigated by terms of coefficient of friction, shear stress and equivalent strain. Although equivalent strain curve of WBM and LFM are in good agreement, ACM resulted in higher equivalent strain and shear stress values. Coefficient of friction those were obtained with WBM and LFM varies in a reasonable range.

Rotating stall inception in low speed axial compressor is experimentally investigated by using temporal casing pressure signals from the circumferentially distributed pressure transducers. At first, fundamental technique of visual inspection is implemented by the application of series of low pass frequency filters. Only small filter ranges reveal rotating stall disturbance, each exhibiting different rotating speed of stall disturbance and stall cell. Results are highly dependent on filter size, which found to be a critical limitation. In the next step, results of filtered signals are compared by using a newly developed non-filtering AWT program. AWT offers a beneficial tool for providing rotating stall inception information without employing any pre-filtering limitation. One-step execution technique with features of FFT and wavelet transform, AWT successfully verified the results from the filtered signals obtained after the application of different filter ranges. Verification of filtered signal results with AWT can be a useful approach in stall inception study.

In the rocket transportation the road roughness load can cause its solid motor charge to vibrate randomly. To get information about the motor charge's dynamic characteristic and damage degree, this paper calculated the charge's vibration responses by road excitations on the numerical method of mechanical modeling. First the rocket launcher's simplified model was built and the transfer function was obtained. Then By the road roughness excitation PSDs (Power spectral density) response PSDs of the rocket's supporting points on the launcher were calculated. Moreover the rocket FEM model was established and its random vibration responses were acquired by the launcher's supporting point excitations (namely response PSDs of the rocket's supporting points). At last by Miner liner cumulative damage law and the danger point's stress results the motor charge's fatigue damage amount was solved. Results show that in the rocket transport process road loads can lead to the motor charge's remarkable structural vibration as well as fatigue damage and with loading time increasing it comes into the structural failure in the end.

This paper presents a computational investigation into the effect of volute secondary flow structures on turbine inlet flow conditions. The steady state results show Dean type vortices exist early in the volute. As a result a substantial variation in absolute flow angle at the volute exit was observed. Pulsed flow simulations showed that the size and position of the secondary flow structures are time dependent. The resulting volute exit flow conditions were also found to be time dependent with the absolute flow angle at the volute exit varying with pulse pressure. This paper shows that that the secondary flow structures that exist in the volute as a result of cross sectional shape can have significant downstream effects on rotor performance.

Optically transparent silica aerogel with high specific surface area and low density based on tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) were prepared by using a two-step sol-gel process. Obtained aerogels are more transparent than conventional samples, and the refractive index is well controlled in the acetonitrile supercritical drying process. We developed monolithic aerogels with a density of 0.04g/cm3 as space dust capturer. The microstructure and morphology of highly transparence silica aerogels were characterized by the specific surface area, SEM, UV-Vis and the pore size distribution techniques. The results shown that highly transparence silica aerogels are with excellent performance in physical properties, such as high optical transmittance (86.4%, 800 nm), low density (0.04 g/cm3), high specific surface area (925.4 m /g) and large pore volume (2.4 cm3/g). Which are critical characteristics for practical applications of highly transparent silica aerogel, particularly in particle capture areas, for easy observation and lossless capture.

In mechanical engineering, especially in the aerospace, actuator systems must be tested under the corresponding load conditions. The conventional load simulator is disturbed by the motion of tested actuator, which seriously affects the loading performance. This paper presents an electro-hydraulic friction load simulator (EHFLS) for actuator test that is not disturbed by the motion of tested actuator in theory. Its mathematical model is constructed. Theoretically analyzing, friction is the key factor to affect the loading performance. Simulations are performed to discuss how the loading performance of the electro-hydraulic friction load simulator is affected by friction.

In this present work, efforts are made to understand the effect of constant and variable radii fillet on secondary flow losses in Nozzle Guide Vane of the transonic turbine stage. Constant and variable radii fillets near vane-endwall juncture are designed using shape parameters like leading edge radius and minimum angle. Results are discussed using topological features of the flow field, Mach and density contours. Separation lines associated with inlet boundary layer and passage vortex, saddle point and attachment nodes are resolved. Variable radii fillet outperforms the constant radii fillet by reducing the height of three dimensional flow regime affected by secondary flow. It removes the separation bubble near the trailing edge. Increment in leading edge radius increases the movement of these flows towards midspan while the effect of minimum angle is found to be insignificant.

Pushbroom cameras are widely used for earth observation application. This sensor capture 1D image over time and sweep out a region of space and build a 2D image using the straight motion of the satellite. The attitude variation is assumed to be constant during the acquisition process. However, this assumption has been weakened due to a tendency of miniature and lightweight of satellites. In this paper, we analyze the warps of remote sensing image and introduce an improved image registration method. Then the correct images are retrieved and the satellite variation is estimated. The performances of our algorithm are shown on JL-1 satellite datasets. The results shows the possibility of the improvement in geometric processing accuracy for JL-1 imagery products and provide a good reference for satellite platform jitter source analysis.

Modern aerospace research programs are increasingly oriented towards adaptive wing structures for greening the air transport in the near future. New structural concepts implementing and integrating innovative technologies are mandatory for succeeding in this critical task. Among these, the so-called morphing structures are taken into account in aerospace applications, since they ensure the structural shape control in order to optimize the aerodynamic efficiency during the different flight phases. Among the most ambitious research projects launched in Europe, the JTI - Green Regional Aircraft (GRA) is placed in foreground for the design and the demonstration of a true-scale morphing flap applicable to the Natural Laminar Flow (NLF) wing of a 130-seats reference aircraft belonging to EASA CS25 category. In this framework, the authors intensively worked on the definition of a specific actuation and control system layout properly enabling two flap operational modes: overall camber morphing in deployed configuration, during take-off and landing, to enhance high lift performances; upwards and downwards deflection of the flap trailing edge (nearly the 10% of the local chord) in stowed configuration, to improve wing aerodynamic efficiency in cruise. For this purpose, a digital logic control law was opportunely implemented into controller devices by using LTI DriveManager® software. Obtained results have been presented in terms of controlled morphed shapes, showing an excellent correlation with respect to the target geometries imposed by design requirements.
