Experimental and numerical investigations of the off-design flow physics in a supersonic through-flow fan cascade
The turbulent character of the supersonic wake of a linear cascade of fan airfoils has been studied experimentally using a two-component Laser Doppler Anemometer. The cascade was tested in the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University intermittent wind tunnel facility, where the …

Numerical Analysis of an Axial Flow Horizontal Axis Marine Hydrokinetic Turbine
… understanding of the turbine performance and wake properties before determining the array arrangement for tidal farms. In this thesis, flow behavior in the wake of a counter-rotating dual rotor horizontal axis tidal turbine is studied by numerically solving the Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes …

Aerodynamic response of turbomachinery blade rows to convecting density wakes
Density wakes have been recently identified as a possible new source for high cycle fatigue failure in the compressor blades of modern turbomachinery. In order to characterize the density wake induced force and moment fluctuations in compressor blades a two-dimensional computational study has been …

Rotor Wakes; Formations, Interactions, and Design
… the fundamental flow physics of rotor wakes and presents a rotor design methodology that enables the creation of mission-tailored wakes for improved aero-propulsive integration. These goals are addressed through a series of experimental campaigns involving both ducted and unducted …
