Russian researchers are refining the wing design for a proposed short-haul aircraft with overwing-mounted engines, to increase laminar flow. Initial models of the experimental aircraft design ...

By accounting for blade deformation, the computationally-efficient model will allow for the safe design of bigger blades.

To build more aerodynamic machines, researchers are drawing inspiration from an unlikely source: the ocean. A team of evolutionary biologists and engineers at Harvard University, in collaboration with ...

The performance of the NREL S807 airfoil is experimentally determined via wind tunnel testing. The tests are conducted at Reynolds numbers of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 10⁶, with a clean surface, with two ...

University of Iowa researchers have reported a key advance in the ease of flow and maneuverability for underwater vehicles.

The PBG group of Department of physics, Fudan University, recently proposed a method using a reflective photonic crystal slab to generate vortex with high conversion efficiency and without an ...

Engineers in Sweden hope to improve the efficiency of trucks by using a novel electronic vortex generator to reduce drag. Vortex generators are already widely used in the aerospace industry to enhance ...

Could a bladeless wind turbine answer the issues with clean energy and save a few bird lives in the process? It can if you believe that the same technology we use to get your milkshake to your mouth ...
