Unsteady flow-induced vibration of the slider in a commercial hard disk drive by Muhammad Haikal Khalid.

“…From the corresponding drag force which was calculated by the pressure difference between two nodes, it was found that it has a direct aerodynamic excitation of the FIV on the HGA In conclusion, the spectrum characteristics of FIV on the HGA could be analysed through those of the pressure and velocity fluctuations around the HGA, which characterize the turbulent aerodynamic excitation for the FIV on the HGA in a working HDD.…”

Prediction of Intermittent Fluctuations from Surface Pressure Measurements on a Turbulent Airfoil by Rudy, Samuel H., Sapsis, Themistoklis P.

“…We show that methods using data-driven models of low order dynamic variables outperform those without dynamic models and that unlike previous works, low dimensional initializations do not accurately predict observables with extreme events such as drag.…”

Blowing active flow control on FFA-W3-270 airfoil model by Kathiresan, Kabiilesh, Imisi Oluwa, Abiola, Mat, Shabudin, Abdullahi, Yahaya Daura, Jafari Gahraz, Seyed Reza, Mat Lazim, Tholudin, Musa, Nur Amalina

“…Flow separation is detachment of the airflow from the airfoil surface, which may lead to loss in lift and increase in pressure drag. Active flow control is a technique used to add energy to the flow by expenditure of power from other source which are able to delay the flow separation. …”

Harnessing Instability Mechanisms in Airfoil Flow for Data-Driven Forecasting of Extreme Events by Barthel, Benedikt, Sapsis, Themistoklis P.

“…Finally, we show that relying solely on the statistics of the pressure and drag data for optimal sensor placement fails to improve model prediction over uniform or random sensor placement.…”

The function of pitching in Beetle's flight revealed by insect-wearable backpack by Fu, Fang, Li, Yao, Wang, Haitong, Li, Bing, Sato, Hirotaka

“…The coupling of pitch angle and forward acceleration was due to a tilted net aerodynamic force and the induced air drag. Moreover, the left and right subalar muscles of the beetle, a pair of major flight muscles, were electrically stimulated in free flight on demand to pitch up the beetle's body. …”
