Aeronautic

The passive control of flow-separation at averaged Reynolds Number (Re=3.42×10 5) using self-adapting flexible-flaps in the upper side of the wing, is presented. The two-way Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) in an elastic-layer up on the airfoil (NACA 0012) is investigated numerically by Coupling between the Transient Structural and Fluid Flow (Fluent) in ANSYS-Workbench14.0. During the fluid-structure interaction, the transient deformation of the elastic-layer provokes the modification of the flow topology at large-scale. There are reductions of the size and intensity of the vortex-shedding and an increase in the Strouhal number. This explains the increase of the lift-to-drag ratio. The study of the flap flexibility shows that the deformation of the elastic-layer and the variation of aeronautical efforts are inversely proportional to the Young Modulus.

We would like to invite you to join this exciting new project as a chapter contributor on one of the topics listed below. Since this is a textbook, a great deal of this chapter entails a survey on the topic under the paradigm of cyber-physical systems, what can be done onboard and remotely, the distributed nature of the system and some exercises on futurology (anticipating trends can shed some light on upcoming designs). IET will bring great visibility to your work. Each chapter should be around 20-25 pages each and can be submitted as a Word or Latex File. The IET will send you additional info (formatting, permission form, etc.) with the contributor's agreement once you have decided to contribute to the book. Visit http://www.theiet.org/resources/author-hub/books/index.cfm to get all contributor's information to an IET research-level book. Each book is expected to have a total number of 500 printed pages (with approximately 550 words per page and a 20% allowance for figures and tables). We have included a tentative schedule and list of topics below. If this is something you would consider, please send us the title of your chapter, a short description/abstract of the chapter content, and your full contact details. We will expect original content and new insights for this book. You can, of course, reuse published material but the percentage of material reuse for the chapter should be less than 40%. The IET will run a piracy software on the full manuscript to control that you are including original material and will reject chapters who contain a large amount of already-published material so please do take this into consideration. We would appreciate your feedback by December 31, 2017. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries. We look forward to working with you towards the successful publication.
