Seal and Sea lion Whiskers Detect Slips of Vortices Similar as Rats Sense Textures
Muthukumar Muthuramalingam, Christoph Bruecker
Pinnipeds like seals and sea lions use their whiskers in hunting their prey in dark and turbid conditions. There is no theoretical model or a hypothesis to explain the interaction…
An aeroacoustic investigation into the effect of self-oscillating trailing edge flaplets
E. Talboys, T. F. Geyer, C. Bruecker
The aeroacoustics of a NACA 0012 aerofoil with an array of self-oscillating flexible flaplets attached on the trailing edge has been investigated at low to moderate chord based Rey…
Comparative study of wall shear stress at the ascending aorta for different mechanical heart valve prostheses
Qianhui Li, Christoph H. Bruecker
An experimental study is reported which investigates the wall shear stress (WSS) distribution in a transparent model of the human aorta comparing a bileaflet mechanical heart valve…
Vortex interaction with a rough wall formed by a hexagonal lattice of posts
Qianhui Li, Christoph Bruecker
An experimental study is reported which investigates the head-on collision of a laminar vortex ring of diameter D (ReΓ= 3000) on a fakir-like surface composed of circular posts of…
