TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a single plane biplane Wells turbine with or without guide vanes is compared with a wave energy device based on the principle of the oscillating water-air column.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dominant singular near crack tip stress field can often be parametrised in terms of three parameters K1, KII and KIII designating three fracture modes each having an angular variation entirely specified for the stress tensor and displacement vector.

TL;DR: Combustor diffusers in aircraft engines are required to maintain stable and efficient combustion, to provide the turbine nozzles with an acceptable temperature profile as well as with sufficient cooling air and to minimise total pressure losses as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the existing data base to determine to what degree the following critical issues are understood: 1 Cause and effect of asymmetric forebody flow separation with associated vortices 2 Cause of slender wing rock 3 Effect of vehicle motion on dynamic airfoil stall 4 Extrapolation from subscale tests to full-scale free flight

TL;DR: Adaptive wall test sections (AWTSs) as mentioned in this paper have been widely used for 2D and 3D testing of wind tunnel simulations and have been shown to be suitable for general use in general use, even in cryogenic wind tunnels.

TL;DR: In this article, the longitudinal motion of an airplane, starting a dive at an arbitrary speed, and flown on a constant glide slope, is analyzed analytically to provide groundspeed as a function of time.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) to measure the velocity and flow angle changes in a transonic flow field with an optical stand off distance of 0.5 m.
