Thermal control of vortex-induced vibration
Physics of Fluids, 28, 2016
Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of structures is of practical interest to many engineering fields such as aerospace and mechanical systems. The suppression of VIV can be achieved passively or actively..... [Read More]
Comparison on Sizing and Performance of Air-based and Refrigerant-based Centrifugal Compressors
AIAA SciTech 2018
Centrifugal compressors have widely applications such as in turboshaft engines, refrigeration systems, fuel cell electric vehicles[1]. The design and off-design performance can be estimated from map-based calculations or physics-based one-dimensional models [Read More]
