Aerodynamics and Design of Spinning Samara Model
A particular form of winged seed (samara) dispersal technique adopted by nature uses autorotative (unpowered rotation of the wing generating thrust force against gravity) descent; for e.g. in Maple and Mahagon...

Mixing in a Supersonic Ejector - An Experimental Investigation
A supersonic ejector utilizes the energy and momentum of a primary motive jet to entrain and compress a secondary co-flow. It is a pure aerodynamic device that has no moving parts and the flow is brought about...

Experimental Studies on Mixing in Supersonic Ejector
A supersonic ejector uses a primary flow expanded from high pressure to supersonic speeds to entrain a secondary flow and pump it to higher pressures. Figure1 shows the schematic of the flow through an ejector...

Effect of Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma in Supersonic Flow
In the recent past, there is a growing interest in using the Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) based plasma actuators for active control of the boundary layer in different speed regimes. The plasma actuators ...
