The fluid flow over a yawed cylinder explains the practical significance of subsea applications such as transference control, separating the boundary layer above submerged blocks, and suppressing recirculating bubbles.

Unlike the standard nanofluid model, which only considers one type of nanoparticle, this work considers the hybridization of two types of nanoparticles: alumina (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) and magnetite (Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>). A model was developed to investigate the heat transport behaviour of a hybrid nanofluid while accounting for the solid volume fraction. The flow problem is modelled in terms of highly nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDEs) subject to the appropriate boundary conditions. Then appropriate non-similar transformations were used to non-dimensionalize the governing equations. Furthermore, the non-dimensional governing equations were solved using the finite difference method (FDM) and the quasilinearisation technique. The effects of water and nanoparticle concentrations on the velocity and the temperature patterns were illustrated graphically. The hybrid nanofluid reduces the velocity distribution in the spanwise and chordwise directions while increasing the surface drag coefficient. The hybrid nanofluid's fluid temperature and energy transport strength was higher than the base fluid and nanofluid. Also, the temperature of the fluid rises as the energy transfer strength diminishes due to an increase in the Eckert number, which characterizes viscous dissipation. However, when the yaw angle increases in the chordwise and spanwise directions, so does the fluid's velocity.

But at some off-design conditions, like at high flight speeds and high angles of attack (AoA), the aero engine intake may encounter flow separation. This boundary layer separation inside the nacelle inlet of an aircraft engine can lead to a large number of undesirable outcomes like reduction in fan efficiency, engine stall and high levels of stress on the fan blades. Active flow control is a promising solution to reduce inlet boundary layer separation and the associated fan-face flow distortion at such off-design conditions. By blowing pressurized air into the intake near the separation point, the boundary layer is energized and separation can be controlled. This study investigates the applicability of lip blowing, an active flow control technique, to control intake separation and flow distortion at the fan-face. First, intake separation was triggered in a 3D CFD model based on the NASA Common Research Model (CRM) using high AoA cases at cruise condition (Mach number 0.85, Mass flow capture ratio ∼0.7) and the features of separated flow were analyzed. Thereafter, active flow control was introduce to the intake in the form of two types of lip blowing, direct and pitched blowing. The efficacy of lip blowing at achieving separation control in an ultra high bypass ratio turbofan engine intake has been established through this study. The present paper also examines the significance of blowing parameters like the type of blowing, blowing pressure ratio, and blowing slot dimension, at different angles of attack to identify the critical control parameters. Our research successfully establishes proof of concept by demonstrating the feasibility of using lip blowing for separation control in aero-intakes, via numerical modelling.

The present work reviews the current state of cooling technology research, at both the fundamental science and engineering implementation levels, including modeling and simulation, experiments and diagnostics, and cooling technologies for blades and disks. In numerical simulation, the RANS approach remains the most commonly used technique for flow-dynamics and heat-transfer simulations. Much attention has been given to the development of improved turbulence modeling for flows under rotation. For measurement and diagnostics, advanced instrumentation and rotating-flow test facilities have been developed and valuable experimental data obtained. Detailed velocity and temperature distributions in rotating boundary layers have been obtained at scales sufficient to resolve various underlying mechanisms. Both isothermal and non-isothermal conditions have been considered, and the effects of Coriolis and buoyancy forces on flow evolution and heat transfer quantitatively identified. Cooling technologies have been improved by optimizing cooling passage dsigns, especially for curved configurations under rotation.
