The last decades have seen an increasing interest in cycling aerodynamics, with the design
of more aerodynamic bicycles and wearable equipment such as helmets and skinsuits and …

We present the first application of an artificial neural network trained through a deep
reinforcement learning agent to perform active flow control. It is shown that, in a two …

Free-stream turbulence (FST) and its effect on boundary-layer transition is an intricate
problem. Elongated unsteady streamwise streaks of low and high speed are created inside …

ABSTRACT A bird-feather-inspired herringbone riblet texture was investigated for turbulent
drag reduction. The texture consists of blade riblets in a converging/diverging or …

Aquatic animals have developed effective strategies to reduce their body drag over a long
period of time. In this work, the influence of the scales of fish on the laminar-to-turbulent …

We evaluate the aerodynamic performance of several passive vortex generators (VGs)
placed on a standard Ahmed body, with a slant angle (α= 35º), subjected to different yawing …

The effectiveness of streak modes in controlling the oblique-type breakdown in a supersonic
boundary-layer at Mach 2.0 is investigated using direct numerical simulations. Investigations …

Oblique breakdown in a Mach 2.0 supersonic boundary layer controlled by a local cooling
strip with a temperature jump is investigated using direct numerical simulations and linear …

The interaction of stationary streaks undergoing non-modal growth with modally unstable
instability waves in a supersonic flat-plate boundary-layer flow is studied using numerical …

The effect of freestream turbulence on the dynamics of an incompressible flow past a
cylindrical roughness element in subcritical conditions (ie, for Reynolds numbers below the …
