ENGINEERING APPLICATION
Fluid dynamics applied in engineering
SPORTS ENGINEERING
Aerodynamics of golf ball with grooves
: To investigate the effect of the groove structures on the aerodynamic performance and develop a new golf ball
Magnus/Inverse Magnus effect
Aerodynamics of ski jumping
: To investigate the key parameters in ski-jump posture in order to enhance the aerodynamic performance during flight
BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
Heart Valve
: To investigate the valve dysfunction due to pannus formation despite no direct contact between the pannus and the leaflets
Coronary arteries
: To investigate the effects of vascular structures or the shape of stenosis on the pressure drops across a coronary stenosis
Airways
: To investigate the flow characteristics in the tracheas of patients with COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
CFD & INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION
Bio-mimetic flow control for drag reduction on a vehicle
- AMD lift responding to reversed flow
- Separation delayed up to trailing edge of AMD
- Recirculation core(low pressure region) move away, and two longitudinal vortices was attenuated by AMD
- Base pressure is recovered drag reduction
