Airfoils work because the higher speed of air going over the top surface results in lower air pressure than the slower air beneath. If you drilled a hole top to bottom in an airfoil, which direction ...

Natural laminar flow is a known means of reducing aircraft drag and energy consumption, but its practical implementation is difficult on commercial airliners that cruise at transonic speeds and ...

Armando Collazo Garcia III got more than he expected from a graduate course he took last spring. He developed a new understanding of the physics of transonic shocks produced across a laminar flow ...

A novel FlowViT-Diff framework that integrates a Vision Transformer (ViT) with an enhanced denoising diffusion probabilistic model (DDPM) for super-resolution reconstruction of high-resolution flow ...

As the angle of attack is increased on a high-performance airfoil, a small amount of separation occurs near the leading edge. This separation causes the boundary layer to transition from laminar to ...
