Advanced Trailing Edge Blowing Concepts for Fan Noise Control

This study documents trailing edge blowing research performed to reduce rotor / stator interaction noise in turbofan engines. The existing technique of filling every velocity deficit requires a large amount of air and is...

Using genetic algorithms to optimize airfoils in incompressible regime

Aerodynamic optimization is a very actual problem in aircraft design and airfoils are basic two-dimensional shape forming cross sections of wings. Traditionally, the airfoil geometry if defined by a very large number of...

Present and future of aircraft carriers as a floating diplomatic and military means of deterrence

The aircraft carrier is the most capable offshore military warship the mankind has ever build and is considered as a symbol of the absolute navy and national strenght. Construction of an aircraft carrier is having a grea...

Electromagnetic, flow and thermal study of a miniature planar spiral transformer with planar, spiral windings

This paper presents mathematical modeling and numerical simulation results for a miniature, planar, spiral transformer (MPST) fabricated in micro-electromechanical MEMS technology. When the MPST is magnetic nanofluid cor...
