How vortices enhance heat transfer from an oscillating plate
Xiaojia Wang, Silas Alben
Oscillations of a heated solid surface in an oncoming fluid flow can increase heat transfer from the solid to the fluid. Previous studies have investigated the resulting heat trans…

Sail dynamics during tacking maneuvers
Christiana Mavroyiakoumou, Silas Alben
We study the dynamics of sail membranes during a tacking maneuver, when the sail angle of attack is reversed in order to sail upwind. In successful tacking the sail flips to the mi…

Enhancing heat transfer in a channel with unsteady flow perturbations
Silas Alben, Shivani Prabala, Mitchell Godek
We compute unsteady perturbations that optimally increase the heat transfer (Nu) of optimal steady unidirectional channel flows, for a given average rate of power consumption Pe$^2…
