Global stability analysis of the natural convection between two horizontal concentric cylinders
(ELSEVIER, 2021-06)In this investigation, the 2D flow between two horizontally positioned concentric cylinders (gravity per- pendicular to the axis of the cylinders), where the inner cylinder is kept at constant temperature Ti higher than ... -
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 ... -
A study of tensile and bending properties of 3D-printed biocompatible materials used in dental appliances
(Springer, 2022-01-03)In the last years, a large number of new biocompatible materials for 3D printers have emerged. Due to their recent appearance and rapid growth, there is little information about their mechanical properties. The design and ... -
Flutter stability analysis of an elastically supported flexible foil. Application to the energy harvesting of a fully-passive flexible flapping-foil of small amplitude
