An experimental and simulation study of chip transportation behaviour in gundrilling by Tnay, Guan Leong

“…From the experiments, terminal velocities of typical gun drill chips at different range of particle Reynolds number were determined to construct the unique drag curve. Based on the findings, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) numerical model was developed to predict the lateral drag forces with respect to the particle Reynolds number. …”

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.…”
