Aircraft performance is highly affected by induced drag caused by wingtip vortices. Winglets, referred to as vertical or angled extensions at aircraft wingtips, are used to minimise vortices formation to improve fuel efficiency. This paper describes a wind tunnel experiment and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis, performed on a rectangular wing prototype (with and without winglet) of NACA...
Constructing 3D human model from 2D images provides a cost-effective approach to visualize digital human in virtual environment. This paper presents a systematic approach for constructing 3D human model using the front and side images of a person. The silhouettes of human body are first detected and the feature points on the silhouettes are subsequently identified. The feature points are further used...
Repetitive closure of the upper airway characterizes obstructive sleep apnea. It disrupts sleep causing excessive daytime drowsiness and is linked to hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Previous studies simulating the underlying fluid mechanics are based upon geometries, time-averaged over the respiratory cycle, obtained usually via MRI or CT scans. Here, we generate an anatomically correct geometry...
This study modeled the Left Ventricular (LV) motion using parameters of myocardial twisting angle and shortening of LV long axis. Twenty two sets of the heart's volume-time curve (VTC) were analyzed. The ejection fraction (EF) of each data set was evaluated. The average of EF was 70.96 ?? 5.76%. The accuracy of model simulation was evaluated in each time frame. The average difference of volume between...
Object of this paper is the analysis of a conformal wire antenna used for the detection of stolen cars. The antenna operates in the low frequency range 0-300 MHz and it is located on the top part of the metallic chassis, over the back tire. Details on the simulation model are provided and results are validated by comparing different numerical methods: time domain (Finite Integration Technique and...
