Overview and Summary of the Third AIAA High Lift Prediction Workshop

The third AIAA CFD High-Lift Prediction Workshop was held in Denver, Colorado, in June 2017. The goals of the workshop continued in the tradition of the first and second high-lift workshops: to assess the numerical prediction capability of current-generation computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology for swept, medium/high-aspect-ratio wings in landing/takeoff (high-lift) configurations. This workshop analyzed the flow over two different configurations, a clean high-lift version of the NASA Common Research Model, and the JAXA Standard Model. The former was a CFD-only study, as experimental data were not available prior to the workshop. The latter was a nacelle/pylon installation study that included comparison with experimental wind tunnel data. The workshop also included a 2-D turbulence model verification exercise. Thirty-five participants submitted a total of 79 data sets of CFD results. A variety of grid systems (both structured and unstructured) as well as different flow simulation methodologies (including Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes and Lattice-Boltzmann) were used. This paper analyzes the combined results from all workshop participants. A statistical summary of the CFD results is also included

OVERFLOW Contribution to HiLiftPW-3

We plan to perform the following sets of computations: For all our contributions (except where stated) Code: OVERFLOW, Turbulence model: SAnegRCQCR2000. - 1. Results will be submitted for both the full chord flap gap (Case 1a) and partially-sealed Chord Flap gap (Case 1c): 1. Grid Refinement Study; 2. Grids: structured overset grids supplied by HiLiftPW committee; 3. Connectivity: Domain Connectivity Framework, DCF. - 2. Results will be submitted for JAXA Standard Model and Nacelle/Pylon Off (Case 2a), Nacelle/Pylon On (Case 2c): 1. Alpha Study; 2. Grids: structured overset grids supplied by HiLiftPW committee; 3. Connectivity: Pegasus 5 (Peg5). - 3. A study of the effects of different connectivity paradigms: 1. DCF vs Peg5 for HLCRM cases; 2. DCF vs. C3P (NASA Ames) vs. Peg5 for JSM cases; 3. JSM grids will be the focus where we will hopefully see some type of trends with reference to wind tunnel data. - 4. Adaption cases will be attempted for (and submitted where appropriate): 1. Cases 1c,1d: HLCRM; 2. Cases 2c and 2d: JSM; 3. Grid: Near Body grids provided by committee, OffBody grids Cartesian; 4. AMR NearBody and OffBody Adaption. - 5. Case 3 Turbulence model verification study: 1. Grid: Series of 3 finest grids as defined on http://turbmodels.larc.nasa.gov/airfoilwakeverif.html; 2. Turbulence models: SAneg and SAneg RCQCR2000. OVERFLOW 2.2 is a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) code developed by NASA..

A cost minimisation analysis of a telepaediatric otolaryngology service

Background: Paediatric ENT services in regional areas can be provided through telemedicine (tele-ENT) using videoconferencing or with a conventional outpatient department ENT service (OPD-ENT) in which patients travel to see the specialist. The objective of this study was to identify the least-cost approach to providing ENT services for paediatric outpatients

Secondary Rhytidectomy

With the increase in popularity of aesthetic surgery, patients with previous face-lifts are increasingly encountered in clinical practice. Whereas the literature is replete with face-lift techniques and management of the primary rhytidectomy patient, there is a relative paucity of information concerning secondary facial rejuvenation procedures. This article is intended to bridge that gap and stimulate further discussion about this clinical situation
