A strong micro heat engine that can be used in the untethered state is essential for next-
generation microrobotics. Here, we propose a rapid swimmer using explosive boiling due to …

Although the popularity of Darrieus-type vertical axis wind turbines is growing for small-scale
electricity generation, these turbines have severe challenges in self-starting. This paper …

Sweeping jet (SWJ) actuators have become a hot research topic in flow control due to their
larger sweep range and higher control efficiency. However, the linear relationship between …

The scope of this paper is to present a comprehensive approach for simulating low-
temperature atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge plasmas. The proposed methodology …

The design of commercial air transportation vehicles heavily relies on understanding and
modeling fluid flows, which pose computational challenges due to their complexity and high …

Next-generation microrobots and micro-air vehicles (MAVs) development requires a light
and strong micro-engine that can operate without being tethered. Here, we propose a micro …

We conducted Large Eddy Simulations (LESs) to investigate the control of dynamic stall
flowfields around a pitching airfoil using various types of plasma actuators (PAs). We …
