Abstract

It is widely believed that bionic airfoils can influence aerodynamic performance. Therefore, this study focuses on analyzing the effect of a bio-inspired nose on the NACA 4415 airfoil. This study uses roughtoothed dolphins and spinner dolphins as modifications of the airfoil, which are then tested at Re = 1.6×105 using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). From the simulation results, it was shown that the baseline NACA 4415 has the best aerodynamic performance across all Angles of Attack (AoA). The average percentage increase in Cd for the spinner dolphin is lower, at 40.399% compared to the baseline. On the other hand, the roughtoothed dolphin shows a higher percentage increase in Cd with an average of 51.479% compared to the baseline. While in the Cl data, the rough-toothed dolphin has a larger average percentage decrease, at -10.472%, whereas the spinner dolphin achieves an average decrease of only -5.194% compared to the baseline. Therefore, it can be concluded that the rough-toothed and spinner dolphin modifications do not enhance the aerodynamic performance of the NACA 4415 airfoil at AoA. However, at low AoA, the roughtoothed dolphin modification performs comparably to the baseline NACA 4415 airfoil.

Abstract

Fluid flow around an object plays an important role in various fields, including aerodynamics, building design, and transportation. This study examines the effect of three two-dimensional bluff body shapes, including Circular, Square, and Diamond, on the flow pattern, drag and lift coefficients, and vortex shedding characteristics. The methodology used is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation for incompressible flow with a Reynolds number of 100. The results show that variations in geometric shapes significantly affect the shape formation, flow stability, and aerodynamic force response. The three bluff body variations were found to produce fluctuating aerodynamic characteristics due to the influence of the von Kármán vortex phenomenon. In the diamond cylinder variation, it was found to be the configuration with the widest shape, having the highest average drag coefficient value of 1.84, and exhibiting the most significant force amplification, with an average lift coefficient value of 0.36 and a Strouhal number (St) of 0.18. Overall, variations in bluff body shapes significantly affect the flow pattern, Vortex Shedding frequency, and the total aerodynamic force acting on the object

Abstract

This research evaluates the thermal performance of a liquid cooling system with serpentine channel inlets for an 18650 cylindrical lithium-ion battery module. The study analyzed an eight-cell module with a baseline configuration and variations featuring two, three, and four serpentine curves using computational fluid dynamics simulations validated against previous experiments. A fixed mass flow rate of 0.0001 kg/s was applied. Results showed all configurations-maintained battery temperatures below 37.5°C, preventing thermal runaway. The Baseline configuration achieved the lowest maximum temperature of 37.447°C and the highest performance factor (J/F factor) of 0.053. The two serpentine curves offered the best temperature uniformity (1.114°C) and highest heat transfer coefficient. Although more serpentine curves reduced maximum temperature, they increased pressure drop, decreasing the J/F factor. The study concludes that the serpentine cold plate design effectively manages thermal containment, with the two-curve configuration providing the best balance of heat transfer and temperature stability.

Abstract

Issues in friction stir spot welding focus mainly on the mechanical characteristic affected by its Hardness. This Hardness must be maintained by evenly temperature distribution in weld zones during welding. The process parameters are mainly responsible for the development of the hardness of the friction stir spot weld. This study presented the hardness evaluations on the friction stir spot weld via the Hardness-Vickers test and analysis of the temperature distribution in the weld zones via the finite element method. The workpiece samples used in this study were Aluminium alloy 5052-H112 with a thickness of 2 millimeters in the lap-shear mode based on 3 main parameters at low and high levels of parameters configuration. The results obtained via the Hardness-Vickers tests exhibited a value of 42-HV located in the middle of the spot-weld center using a low-level parameters configuration. This value increased to 64-HV around the vicinity of the keyhole. And then the value decreased to 53-HV outside the keyhole, about 6 millimeters from the spot-weld center. Using high-level parameter configuration, the Hardness-Vickers value increased to 61-HV in the middle of the spot-weld center. The value then increased to 76-HV in the vicinity of the keyhole. Furthermore, the value decreased at 60-HV outside the keyhole, which ca 6 millimeters away from the spot-weld center. The temperature distribution of the weld zones achieved 480 oC in the vicinity of the keyhole using the low-level parameter configuration. Slowly, the temperature declined to 380 oC at 6 mm away from the friction spot-weld center in the HAZ. Using the high-level parameters configuration, the temperature distribution reached 540 oC in SZ, and slowly reduced to 425 oC in HAZ. Based on the results, it was found that by using high-level parameters configuration the hardness of the friction stirs spot weld exhibited better Hardness-Vickers value and evenly temperature distribution in the weld zones.

Abstract

The computational study discusses the application of the co-flow jet technique as a fluid flow control device on the NACA 0015 airfoil. The numerical equation used is the RANS equation with the k-ε turbulence model. There are three variations of the mesh proposed in this paper. The first variation is a fine mesh with 100,000 elements. The second variation is a medium mesh with 50,000 elements. Meanwhile, the third variation is coarse mesh with 25,000 elements. Based on the mesh independence test results, the mesh with the lowest error value is the fine mesh. Co-flow jet is proven to control fluid flow on the upper side of NACA 0015. Co-flow jet can also improve the aerodynamic performance of NACA 0015 by increasing Cl and decreasing Cd. The increase in Cl was 114% and the decrease in Cd was 24%. The fluid flow separation on the upper side of the airfoil can also be handled well by the co-flow jet.

Abstract

This study uses a numerical method to analyze the cavity's use on the airfoil's trailing edge and the aerodynamic effects it generates. The type of airfoil used is NACA 4415. The variations in the Reynolds number examined in this study are 2×105 and 3×105. The governing equation is the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes paired with the k-ε turbulence model. This study concludes that the cavity can increase Cl in the airfoil but cannot delay the stall. The increase in Cd is also a negative effect of using a cavity in the airfoil. The cavity can increase Cl by increasing the pressure on the lower side near the trailing edge. Meanwhile, the cavity increases Cd because it creates a separation of the fluid flow, forming a vortex when viewed in a streamlined form of fluid flow.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of variations in the micro geometry with various forms as passive flow control devices on the aerodynamic capability of the airfoil. Micro-cylinder, micro-slat, and micro-cube are installed close to the leading edge of the NACA 4415 airfoil as a micro geometric variation of passive flow control devices with a predetermined diameter of 3% c located at coordinates x= 0% c and y= 8 %c of the leading edge of the airfoil. The Reynolds number used in this study is Re = with AoA variations from 0°-30°. This study's results show a decrease in Cl of 12% with a micro-cylinder, 26% with a micro-slat, and 28% with a micro-cube. In addition, the Cd produced by using the variation of the device micro geometry has increased significantly. Thus, the final result is a lift-to-drag ratio of more petite than the without micro. In the streamlined contour shown when the airfoil is at a high angle of attack, the use of micro geometric variations of passive flow control devices can have an effect that causes reduced recirculation that occurs in the airfoil. However, the impact of these devices is not optimal, resulting in a reduction in the aerodynamic capability of the NACA 4415 airfoil.

Abstract

This study was conducted using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method using the Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) approach. The type of airfoil used in this study is the asymmetry NACA 4415 airfoil type. In this paper, computational tests were carried out on the airfoil with the addition of bionic flaps on its trailing edge. This study's update tests three variations of the Reynolds number: Re = 106, Re = 5 × 105, and Re = 3 × 105. The airfoil test was carried out at AoA 0°–25°. The addition of bionic flaps causes a decrease in lift performance at low AoA, but at high AoA, it can increase lift performance on airfoils. In addition, adding a bionic flap on the airfoil can delay the occurrence of a stall. At AoA 10°–13°, the Cd of the three variations of the Reynolds number experiences an increase in performance. Then, from this computational test, the resulting Coefficient moment (Cm) is a pitch down because the torque is below zero.

Abstract

This study investigates how a liquid-based cooling configuration influences the thermal behavior of a cylindrical lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack through numerical analysis. The work underscores the crucial role of proper thermal regulation to maintain operational safety and prolong battery lifespan in high-demand applications such as electric vehicles (EVs). Three cooling-channel diameters—4, 6, and 8 mm—were examined under a 5C discharge condition. The findings indicate that the 8 mm channel offers the most advantageous performance, delivering the lowest maximum temperature, quicker thermal stabilization, and improved temperature uniformity. Conversely, the 4 mm channel resulted in elevated peak temperatures and a temperature gradient (ΔT) of 8.3 °C, which may intensify hotspot formation and accelerate cell degradation. Overall, the results emphasize the importance of selecting an appropriate cooling-channel diameter to effectively mitigate thermal stress.
