A physical understanding of the suppression mechanism of vibrissal cylinder oscillation is mandatory for the design of a sensor detection system. In this study, the suppression performances are studied for a vibrissal cylinder at a reduced velocity <em>U_r</em> = <em>U/</em>(<em>f_nw D</em>) of 5, with the corresponding Reynolds number of <em>Re</em> = 3,750, according to the swimming velocity and real geometrical scale for a harbor seal vibrissa. In addition, a verified fluid and structure interaction (FSI) solver implemented with an improved dynamic mesh strategy is adopted. Different transverse spring-mounted oscillation responses are obtained by alternating the angle of attack (<em>AOA</em>). It is found that the attachment and secondary separation of vortices in the near wake significantly influence the shedding pattern and can lead to the distinct suppression of oscillating responses. A pair of attached vortices are observed for the vibrissal cylinder at <em>AOA</em> = 0°, where the oscillating response is almost fully suppressed. Forced vibration is applied to address the role of attached vortices in the suppression mechanism. In contrast, when the suppression mechanism diminishes at <em>AOA</em> = 90°, the vortex-shedding pattern is characterized by unstable discrete secondary vortices. These secondary vortices re-separate from the primary vortices, indicating high stability of the primary vortices in the near wake, which represents the primary mechanism deteriorating the suppression of vortex-shedding. Furthermore, the interaction of attaching and secondary discrete vortices results in a partially suppressed oscillating response for the harbor seal vibrissa at <em>AOA</em> = 45°. Of note, these two mechanisms cause the shedding mode to switch between the “2S” and “P + S” modes while partially suppressing the oscillation response.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids and Structures","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 104152"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141539430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In case, when panel is made of a material with magnetic properties, magnetic field of different origin plays an important role. As aircraft designers strive for improved efficiency and performance, accurate prediction of magneto-aeroelastic effects is becoming a necessity. For example, while high aspect ratio wings have higher aerodynamic efficiency, the structural deformation of the wing under the influence of both aerodynamic load and magnetic field is no longer negligible and a coupled analysis needs to be carried out to during the design phase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This paper offers the authors’ views on critical magneto-aeroelastic behavior for dielectric rectangular isotropic plates and is a continuation of the work (&lt;span&gt;Baghdasaryan et al., 2023&lt;/span&gt;): “Supersonic flutter characteristics of dielectric rectangular plate: The effects of magneto-aero-hydrodynamic interactions, Journal of Fluids and Structures, 2023”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The work \"Supersonic flutter characteristics of dielectric rectangular plate: The effects of magneto-aero-hydrodynamic interactions\" presents both, linear and non-linear flutter behaviour of an isotropic dielectrical plate streamlined by a perfectly conductive supersonic gas flow and immersed in a longitudinal magnetic field.

For the first time, an analytical expression of the aerodynamic pressure accounting for an applied magnetic field is presented. This expression generalizes the formula of piston theory to account for magnetic field interactions.

Large eddy simulation was used to validate the results. Two actuators: one with blowing and the other with suction openings were installed on the top surface of an airfoil at low Reynolds number of 60,000. An SD7003 airfoil at a post stall angle of attack of 13° was utilized. The boundary layer flow of the top surface was manipulated by the actuators to control flow separation. The influence of several actuator parameters: frequency, energy input, opening area, location and orientation angle were considered in an optimization of the dual actuator configuration. A genetic algorithm-based optimization was implemented to find the most effective configuration of this coupling. Since the optimization process is time-consuming, machine learning was used to train artificial neural networks to be coupled with genetic algorithm to reduce the computational cost. The artificial neural networks and their training was constantly upgraded during the optimization cycle. Results for the optimal case indicated an increase in lift coefficient and the objective function in comparison to uncontrolled case by factors of 1.88 and 3.33 respectively. We also found a reduction in drag coefficient. It was also found that using a pair of actuators was more efficient than using a single actuator.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids and Structures","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 104141"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141297977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
