Wildfire

  1. The transport of an idealized firebrand is examined in this study. The findings indicate that the time-varying temperature of the smoldering firebrand affects the ember's trajectory.

Sound mitigation using splitter plates

  1. Mitigation of aerodynamic sound generated by flow over a circular cylinder has been studied. Direct numerical simulation (DNS) shows that a sound reduction of up to 21 dB is achievable with a simple arrangement of splitter plates.

  2. Splitter plates significantly alter the downstream flow dynamics, resulting in weaker vortex interactions and, consequently, reduced sound generation.
