Layered structural components, such as laminated composites and those made via Additive Manufacturing (AM), are widely used in aerospace and automotive industries due to their various advantages. The layer-wise approach allows for intricate and multifunctional designs, but their performance depends on factors such as joining technique, material properties, manufacturing conditions, and service environments. These layered […]
In this work, a novel sub-mesoscale model of woven fabrics is developed using nonlinear finite element methods. The main aim of the work is to develop a framework for modeling woven fabrics. The yarns are modeled as beam elements that move freely in space and undergo large deformations and rotations. A geometrically-exact beam theory (GEBT) […]
Swirl is used in modern gas turbine combustor nozzles to achieve reliable flame stabilization and efficient fuel-air mixing. The swirl component in the nozzle jet flow induces an axial vortex. At high swirl intensities, vortex breakdown occurs, creating a recirculation zone in the flow known as the vortex breakdown bubble (VBB). VBB appearance is typically […]
The aerodynamic shape of an aircraft plays a critical role in its performance. Aerodynamic Shape Optimization (ASO) modifies the shape to achieve desired performance metrics, such as reduced drag or increased lift. ASO integrates numerical optimization techniques with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Gradient-based optimization techniques are widely employed for ASO. The adjoint solution enables the […]
