Although helicopter aerodynamics involves the same forces that arise in airplane aerodynamics, these forces occur differently due to fluid flow dynamics across the aircraft. Helicopters take advantage ...

This summary examines the evolving field of energy harvesting from wind and vortex-induced vibrations (VIV), a branch of research that transforms ambient aerodynamic forces into usable electrical ...

In this special guest feature, Robert Roe from Scientific Computing World writes that HPC simulation provides a platform to develop advancements in energy generation technologies. Through the use of ...

ONE of the most interesting phenomena observed in fluid flow is that of vortex shedding, the best known example of which is the von Kármán vortex street behind a cylinder or similar obstacles normal ...
