Numerical study of trapped vortex combustors characteristics in small ramjets by Chen, Song

“…The results show that the optimal cavity size that traps a vortex inside can be determined by calculating the drag coefficient. Because the designed small combustor does not have bypass air directed into the cavity, injecting all the fuel directly in the optimal cavity always leads to an overly fuel-rich condition. …”

Comparative statics with adjustment costs and the Le Chatelier principle by Dekel, E, Quah, JK-H, Sinander, L

“…We show that comparative-statics conclusions may be drawn under the usual ordinal complementarity assumptions on the objective function, assuming very little about costs: only a mild monotonicity condition is required. …”

Wind tunnel testing of a ducted-fan unmanned aerial vehicle by Shiah, Zi Yang.

“…The experiments were carried out in a closed-loop wind tunnel with the full-scale MAV at different configurations. Coefficients of lift, drag and pitching moment were first discussed in a simple configuration of varying pitch angle with different wing setups without the propeller motor. …”
