TL;DR: In this article, a combined experimental and computational study into the aerodynamics and performance of a small scale vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) was presented, where wind tunnel tests were carried out to ascertain overall performance of the turbine and two-and three-dimensional unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models were generated to help understand the aerodynamic of this performance.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple and efficient dynamic grid deformation technique is proposed for computing unsteady flow problems with geometrical deformation, relative body movement or shape changes due to aerodynamic optimisation and fluid-structure interaction.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of spanwise distribution on the aircraft aerodynamic efficiency were studied through an inverse twist design approach, combining both a low fidelity panel method and a high-fidelity Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solution method.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the seasonal and spatial variations of phytoplankton community and their correlation with environmental factors, as well as the applicability of PHYTOPLankton to serve as biological water quality indicator in Lake Chaohu.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a survey of the use of spikes for reducing both the drag and the aeroheating by modifying the flowfield ahead of the vehicle's nose.
