Drag Reduction Devices for Marine Applications Open
Riblets, which essentially consist in stream-wise grooved surfaces, is a passive drag reduction technique whose effectiveness has been demonstrated by many experiments since the last century. The firm 3M & Co. produced riblets as plexiglas…

Conjugate heat transfer from a discrete-source heated plate by offset jet impingement Open
Convection/conduction simulations have been performed to determine flow and heat transfer phenomena in steady-state, for a plate carrying few embedded discrete heaters, exposed to by a turbulent offset cooling jet. This configuration is re…

Modelling of Deep Street Canyon Air Pollution Chemistry and Transport: A Wintertime Naples Case Study Open
The impact of urban morphology on air quality, particularly within deep canyons with longer residence times for complex chemical processes, remains insufficiently addressed. A flexible multi-box framework was used to simulate air quality a…

Fully Coupled Fluid–Structure Interaction with Heat Transfer Effects in an Adaptive NACA Airfoil Open
In the framework of innovative aerodynamics, active airfoils can be developed and exploited based on the integration of shape memory metal alloys (SMAs), allowing for surface adaptation, i.e., shape changes in response to operative thermal…

Riblet Drag Reduction Modeling and Simulation Open
One of the most interesting passive drag reduction techniques is based on the use of riblets or streamwise grooved surfaces. Detailed flow features inside the grooves can be numerically detected only by Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS), …

Drag Reduction by Riblets on a Commercial UAV Open
Riblets are micro-grooves capable of decreasing skin-friction drag, but recent work suggests that additional benefits are possible for other components of aerodynamic drag. The effect of riblets on a fixed-wing, low-speed Unmanned Aerial V…

Slip Length–Based Boundary Condition for Modeling Drag Reduction Devices Open
Riblets are one of the most interesting passive drag reduction techniques. They essentially consist of streamwise grooved surfaces. Despite interest in these devices, the literature does not offer numerical simulations of riblets in the pr…
