Performance of solar funnel cookers using intermediate temperature test load under low sun elevation
(Elsevier, 2021-08-11)Solar funnel cookers can be designed as attractive and affordable low-cost devices accessible to people in all continents of the world regardless of their walk-in life. The present work is aimed to investigate the ... -
Propulsion enhancement of flexible plunging foils: Comparing linear theory predictions with high-fidelity CFD results
(ELSEVIER, 2021-09-01)The fluid–structure interaction of a flexible plunging hydrofoil immersed in a current is solved numerically to analyze its propulsion enhancement due to flexibility at Reynolds number 10 000. After validating with ... -
Pulmonary vein flow split effects in patient-specific simulations of left atrial flow
(Elsevier, 2023)Disruptions to left atrial (LA) blood flow, such as those caused by atrial fibrillation (AF), can lead to thrombosis in the left atrial appendage (LAA) and an increased risk of systemic embolism. LA hemodynamics are ... -
Robust road condition detection system using in vehicle standard sensors.
(MDPI, 2015-12-19)The appearance of active safety systems, such as Anti-lock Braking System, Traction Control System, Stability Control System, etc., represents a major evolution in road safety. In the automotive sector, the term vehicle ... -
Simplified Model for Forward-Flight Transitions of a Bio-Inspired Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(2022-10-18)A new forward-flight model for bird-like ornithopters is presented. The flight dynamics model uses results from potential, unsteady aerodynamics to characterize the forces generated by the flapping wings, including the ... -

(IOAP-MPDI, 2022-10-18)A new forward-flight model for bird-like ornithopters is presented. The flight dynamics model uses results from potential, unsteady aerodynamics to characterize the forces generated by the flapping wings, including the ... -
Simulations of a tornadic supercell event in the south of Spain: Sensitivity to initial and boundary conditions and microphysics parameterizations
(Elsevier, 2024-01-24)A tornadic supercell near the village of Campillos (Malaga province) occurred on 26 August 2019 with several associated damages. In this study, we analyze the sensitivity of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model ... -
Stably stratified Taylor–Couette flows.
(The Royal Society, 2023-03-01)Stably stratified Taylor–Couette flow has attracted much attention due to its relevance as a canonical example of the interplay among rotation, stable stratification, shear and container boundaries, as well as its ... -
The effect of partial loads on the performance of a funnel solar cooker
(Elsevier, 2022-11-20)Several solar cooker designs have been proposed over the last decades. The funnel cooker is a well-known model, representative of the category of panel-type solar cookers. From the empirical experience of real practice, ... -
Turbulence suppression by cardiac-cycle-inspired driving of pipe flow.
(Nature Publishing Group UK, 2023-09-06)Flows through pipes and channels are, in practice, almost always turbulent, and the multiscale eddying motion is responsible for a major part of the encountered friction losses and pumping costs1. Conversely, for pulsatile ... -
Two-Dimensional-Based Hybrid Shape Optimisation of a 5-Element Formula 1 Race Car Front Wing under FIA Regulations
(IOAP-MDPI, 2023-02-04)Front wings are a key element in the aerodynamic performance of Formula 1 race cars. Thus, their optimisation makes an important contribution to the performance of cars in races. However, their design is constrained by ... -
Unsteady Propulsion of a Two-Dimensional Flapping Thin Airfoil in a Pulsating Stream.
(AIAA, 2023-06-26)The cruising velocity of animals, or robotic vehicles, that use flapping wings or fins to propel themselves is not constant but oscillates around a mean value with an amplitude usually much smaller than the mean, and a ...
