Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complex three dimensional flow fields are seen to consist of identifiable, morphologically invariant, mildly interacting, flow structures or modules. Outputs of such flow fields such as wind loads, heat and mass transfer, flow quality, mixing, and pressure losses can be rationally established and with a knowledge of the modular structure. The paper discusses the modular approach for the case of flows around three-dimensional obstacles in boundary layers and for the case of tailoring free-stream flow and turbulence by flow inserts such as screens, perforated plates, honeycombs and foam slabs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These two volumes contain the proceedings of the workshop on the Institute for Computer Instability and Transition, sponsored by Applications in Science and Engineering (ICASE) and the Langley Research Center (LaRC), during May 15 to June 9, 1989. The work shop coincided with the initiation of a new, focused research pro gram on instability and transition at LaRC. The objectives of the workshop were to (i) expose the academic community to current technologically important issues of instability and transition in shear flows over the entire speed range, (ii) acquaint the academic com munity with the unique combination of theoretical, computational and experimental capabilities at LaRC and foster interaction with these facilities, (iii) review current state-of-the-art and propose fu ture directions for instability and transition research, (iv) accelerate progress in elucidating basic understanding of transition phenomena and in transferring this knowledge into improved design methodolo gies through improved transition modeling, and (v) establish mech anisms for continued interaction. The objectives (i) to (iii) were of course immediately met. It is still premature to assess whether ob jectives (iv) and (v) are achieved. The workshop program consisted of tutorials, research presenta tions, panel discussions, experimental and computational demonstra tions, and collaborative projects.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These Proceedings contain the papers and oral discussions presented at the Symposium on AERODYNAMIC DRAG MECHANISMS of Bluff Bodies and Road Vehides held at the General Motors Research Laboratories in Warren, Michigan, on September 27 and 28, 1976. This international, invitational Symposium was the twentieth in an annual series, each one having been in a different technical discipline. The Symposia provide a forum for areas of science and technology that are of timely interest to the Research Laboratories as weIl as the technical community at large, and in which personnel of the Laboratories are actively involved. The Symposia furnish an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and current knowledge between participating research specialists from educational, industrial arid governmental institutions and serve to stimulate future research activity. The present world-wide energy situation makes it highly desirable to reduce the force required to move road vehicles through the atmosphere. A significant amount of the total energy consumed for transportation is expended in overcoming the aerodynamic resistance to motion of these vehicles. Reductions in this aerodynamic drag can therefore have a large impact on ground transportation energy requirements. Although aerodynamic development work on road vehides has been performed for many years, it has not been widely reported or accompanied by much basic research.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Functional Modeling through Energy Flow Diagrams for Novice Engineering Design Students By Sadhan Sathyaseelan, MSE The University of Texas at Austin, 2015 SUPERVISOR: Richard Crawford. The UTeachEngineering program from The University of Texas at Austin is currently developing a high school engineering curriculum that emphasizes design, project-based learning, and development of engineering habits of mind. One module in the curriculum uses reverse engineering of an electromechanical device to teach functional modeling, among other design methods and techniques. Experienced engineers think in terms of the functions – what a product or system must do – before they determine what it will be in its physical form. This is an abstract way of thinking that is commonly taught to engineering undergraduate students, but can be difficult for high school students to grasp. To assist novice engineers (both high school students and undergraduates), a new approach has been developed and evaluated. The Energy Flow Diagram (EFD) focuses on modeling and documenting the energy flow and transformations in the product or system. Energy conversions are prevalent in most products that are feasible for high school students to reverse engineer, and we hypothesize that the results of energy conversions are evident in the behavior of these products. In this paper, we describe the EFD and the materials developed to support its teaching. The EFD method was piloted with an assortment of students from different majors and year of study in the undergraduate level. A pre/post-test was conducted to evaluate any increase in functional thinking among novice design engineers. It was found that the tool was much simpler to understand and implement, and also provided some insights for product redesign opportunities that are similar to the current method of teaching functional modeling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gets professionals quickly on-line with all the crucial designconcepts and skills they need to dramatically improve themaintainability of their products or systems Maintainability is a practical, step-by-step guide to implementinga comprehensive maintainability program within your organization'sdesign and development function. From program scheduling,organizational interfacing, cost estimating, and supplieractivities, to maintainability prediction, task analysis, formaldesign review, and maintainability tests and demonstrations, itdescribes all the planning and organizational aspects ofmaintainability for projects under development and * Schools readers in state-of-the-art maintainability designtechniques * Demonstrates methods for quantitatively measuring maintainabilityat every stage of the development process * Shows how to increase effectiveness while reducing life-cyclecosts of already existing systems or products * Features numerous case studies, sample applications, and practiceexercises * Functions equally well as a professional reference and aclassroom text Independent cost analysis studies indicate that an inordinatelylarge percentage of the overall life-cycle cost of mostsystems/products is currently taken up by maintenance and support.In fact, for many large-scale systems, maintenance and support havebeen shown to account for as much as 60% to 75% of overalllife-cycle costs. At a time of fierce global competition, long-termcost effectiveness is a major competitive advantage thatmanufacturers simply cannot afford to underestimate. Clearly then,to remain competitive in today's international marketplace,companies must institute programs for reducing system maintenanceand support costs-- comprehensive programs that are an integralpart of the design and development process from its earliestconceptual stages. This book shows you how to implement such a program within yourorganization's design and development function. From programscheduling, organizational interfacing, cost estimating, andsupplier activities, to maintainability prediction, task analysis,formal design review, and maintainability tests and demonstrations,it describes all the planning and organizational aspects ofmaintainability for projects under development while schooling youin the use of the full range of proven design techniques--includingmethods for quantitatively measuring maintainability at every stageof the development process. The authors also clearly explain howthe principles and practices outlined in Maintainability can beapplied to the evaluation of systems/products now in use both toincrease their effectiveness and reduce long-term costs. While theoretical aspects of maintainability are discussed, theauthors' main purpose in writing this book is to help getprofessionals quickly on-line with the essential maintainabilityconcepts and skills. Hence, in addition to clarity of presentationand a rational hierarchical format, Maintainability features manycase studies and sample applications that help to clarify thepoints covered, and numerous practice exercises that help engineersto test their mastery of the concepts and techniques covered. Maintainability is an invaluable professional tool for engineersfrom all disciplines who are involved with the design, testing,prototyping, manufacturing, and maintenance of products andsystems. It also serves as a superior course book forgraduate-level programs in those disciplines.
