The extraction of the primary features of engineering or scientific interest and modeling of potential low-rank dynamics has proven challenging because of the massive sizes of the databases. One approach to overcome these challenges has been through system identification based decomposition techniques. In the present work, we build on comprehensive reviews on the subject by elucidating recent advances and applications for aerodynamic flow problems. Through a succinct but panoramic treatment exemplified with relevant applications, we expect to inform the reader of method capabilities in a manner that can guide selection strategies promising critical insights into complex fluid dynamics problems. The methods are broadly classified into modal-based and physics-based. Major advances in the former are extensions of the linear framework to non-homogeneous flowfields and Floquet analysis of secondary instability, applicable to broad ranges of complexity in basic states and speed regimes. Forced response analysis has aided our understanding of non-modal instability mechanisms which extend in some ways analogous to those in the global stability literature; applications to three-dimensional flows and operator-free concepts have been particularly illustrative. Advances in modal techniques for nonlinear flowfields have sharpened focus on prescribed spectral and interaction characteristics, expanded applicability to large-scale databases through streaming approaches, and integrated multi-physics into analyzed data. Physics-based techniques, motivated by the fundamental splitting theorem of Kovasznay, have proven particularly valuable in educing mechanisms sustaining multi-modal dynamics with unique physical aspects. Helmholtz decomposition combined with signal processing procedures have provided insights into the behavior of wall-bounded and free-shear turbulence, emphasizing the effects of compressibility on energy dynamics, coherent structures, and acoustics. The generalization of physics-based eduction techniques using momentum potential theory has improved our understanding of aeroacoustics of a broad class of flowfields, and further provided direction for flow control of shear-layer noise and hypersonic boundary layer dynamics.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54553,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Aerospace Sciences","volume":"140 ","pages":"Article 100918"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48992873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, the hybrid aquatic-aerial vehicle (HAAV), which integrates the locomotion capacity of aerial vehicles and underwater vehicles, is facing a vast developing opportunity, and plenty of related technologies have emerged. However, no current HAAV has simultaneously achieved the operational capacities of UUVs and UAVs in their moving domain without sacrificing performance. The exploitation of HAAVs is still facing several significant challenges, such as insufficient water-air compatibility, inefficient water-entry locomotion, and inefficient water-exit locomotion. The development trend of HAAVs could be more transparent, with the proposed technologies and design concepts being sorted out clearly. Therefore, a literature review of this novel vehicle is urgently in demand. We build this review on our previous survey published in 2015, which is regarded as the earliest review on HAAVs. In this paper, we put forward a novel systematic classification method of the fully functional HAAVs by considering the structure configurations and introduce the prototype development of each kind. Then, the research statuses of the drive solutions and <em>trans</em>-media solutions are analyzed respectively. After that, we analyze the demands of HAAVs both in the military and civil applications and evaluate the device performances of the various HAAVs. Furthermore, the applicability of each category is eventually obtained by comparing their device performances with the application demands of various applications. Finally, the challenges of water-air compatibility, water-entry locomotion, and water-exit locomotion are discussed. Moreover, the key technologies to overcome them, i.e., morphing blade techniques, morphing wing techniques, variable density techniques, structural buffer techniques, bionic water-entry techniques, surface dehydration techniques, and bionic water-exit techniques are analyzed. The research in this paper will provide more promising solutions for aquatic-aerial locomotion and inspire more practical studies in the HAAV field.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54553,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Aerospace Sciences","volume":"139 ","pages":"Article 100902"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49347405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Advancements such as transatlantic flight and the development of avionics technologies and composite materials have changed how we think about what the future will hold. Advanced aviation technologies such as remotely piloted aircraft systems (i.e., “drones”) and urban air mobility may be the next revolution in the aviation industry. While many in the aviation industry look forward to greater inclusion of these technologies, the public may have a different perspective. This review aims to examine the factors that may influence one's perception of advanced aviation technologies. First, an overview of the technologies is presented to categorize the different types of drones and how they are used, followed by a discussion on the principles of technological adoption. Next, data from past studies investigating the public perception of drones and air taxis was collected and analyzed to discover if any patterns exist in terms of overall acceptance or mission preferences, and to determine the root causes of hesitancy towards this emerging technology. The trends suggest that drones have become increasingly accepted as public awareness rises, and missions that support the common good are viewed more favourably than commercial uses such as package delivery or air taxi services. The major obstacles include the perceived level of risk, pre-existing judgement as to the technological reliability, as well as the lack of perceived benefits when compared to existing technologies. Each of these topics are discussed and finally, a roadmap towards public acceptance is presented, incorporating the viewpoints of the public, drone users, and regulatory authorities.

Aircraft currently in operation have typically been designed by considering the airframe somewhat separately from the propulsion system. In doing so, conventional aero-engine architectures are approaching their limits in terms of propulsive efficiency, with technological advancements yielding diminishing returns. A promising alternative architecture for improving the overall performance of the next generation of commercial aircraft relies upon boundary layer ingestion (BLI). This technology aerodynamically couples the airframe with a strategically positioned propulsion system to purposely ingest the airframe’s boundary layer flow. Nonetheless, there is a lack in consensus surrounding the interpretation and quantification of BLI benefits. This is primarily because conventional performance accounting methods breakdown in scenarios of strong aerodynamic coupling. Subsequently, there is a major challenge in defining appropriate performance metrics to provide a consistent measurement and comparison of the potential benefits. This review examines the various accounting methods and metrics that have been applied in evaluating BLI performance. These are discussed and critiqued in the context of both numerical and experimental models. Numerically, the geometric, aerodynamic and propulsive models are sorted by their orders of fidelity along with the plenitude of methods used for flow feature identification enabling a phenomenological understanding of BLI. Particular attention is then given to experimental BLI models with their different set-ups, methods and associated limitations and uncertainties. Finally, the numerous unconventional BLI aircraft concepts are categorised, compared and critiqued with reference to their associated design exploration and optimisation studies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54553,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Aerospace Sciences","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 100897"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47913167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
