The effect of blade solidity on the aerodynamic loss of a transonic turbine cascade
… the loss of the VPI blade for different axial solidity ratios near the design point. Ten percent changes in the solidity ratio were accomplished by varying the blade pitch and changing the blade stagger to maintain a constant throat to spacing ratio. Reaction, exit angle and exit Mach number …

Effect of initial conditions on the development of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities
… A stationary, bi-planar grid with a high solidity ratio, σ, has been placed immediately downstream of the termination of the splitter plate, perpendicular to the flow direction, to generate a turbulent initial condition. The self-similar growth parameter, α , for the RT mixing layer has …

Wind loads for petrochemical structures
… overall geometry for some cladding configurations. Wind loads for vertical vessels in paired arrangements were found to deviate significantly from wind load estimates for single vessels - a fact that is not represented adequately in current analysis techniques. When appropriate, …

Hydrodynamic Drag and Flow Visualization of IsoTruss Lattice Structures
… was conducted for eleven different configurations of IsoTruss® lattice structures. Flow visualization of prototypical IsoTruss® wind towers was also performed using Particle Image Velocimetry instrumentation. The drag test and flow visualization specimens included 6-node and 8-node …
