Clapping propulsion and thin vortex rings: a computational study of vortex dynamics, energy equivalence, and core potential energy
Suyog V. Mahulkar, Jaywant H. Arakeri
We report a computational study of clapping propulsion using two thin rigid plates forming a 60-degree interplate cavity that generates a thrust-producing jet during closure. Plate…
Existence of three distinct scaling regimes in self-propelled rigid pitching airfoil
Rakshita Joshi, Jaywant Arakeri
We investigate the effect of imposed kinematics on the self-propulsion of the NACA0015 symmetric airfoil section subject to sinusoidal pitching. We employ a rotary apparatus capabl…
Comparison of moving and stationary clapping bodies
Suyog V Mahulkar, Jaywant H Arakeri
We report differences in the flow dynamics and in the body kinematics between a clapping body that is allowed to propel forward freely (Dynamic) and one that is constrained from mo…
A self propelling clapping body
Suyog Mahulkar, Jaywant Arakeri
We report an experimental study of the motion of a clapping body consisting of two flat plates pivoted at the leading edge by a torsion spring. Clapping motion and forward propulsi…
Cooling performance of a wick consisting of closely packed rods at moderately high heat loads
N. Kumar, V. S. Jasvanth, A. Ambirajan +1
We propose a new class of wicks, consisting of closely packed circular rods, whose evaporative capacities have been measured at different heat loads ranging between 0.05W/cm^2 and…
Formation of a hard surface layer during drying of a heated porous media
Navneet Kumar, Jaywant H Arakeri, M S Bobji
We report surface hardening or crust formation, unlike caking, during drying when a confined porous medium was heated from above using IR radiation. These crusts have higher streng…
