Analytic Continuation of weighted q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials
In the present paper, we analyse analytic continuation of weighted q-Genocchi
numbers and polynomials. A novel formula for weighted q-Genocchi- Zeta function
{\zeta}G,q (s | {\alpha}) in terms of nested series of {\zeta}G,q (n |
{\alpha}) is derived. Moreover, we introduce a novel concept of dynamics of the
zeros of analytically continued weighted q-Genocchi polynomials.Comment: 5 pages, submitte
Free vorticity field-boundary layer conversions: Effect of boundary configuration and scale
Progress was made on further flow visualization of vortex-leading edge interaction, in conjunction with characterization of the unsteady pressure field. The range of scale of an elliptical leading edge, relative to the incident primary vortex, was determined. The scale of the incident vortex was characterized in terms of mean shear layer parameters. An overview of the interaction mechanism for the range of thin to thick leading-edges is given. The interaction mechanism corresponding to the case where the incident vortex is above the leading-edge is given for hydrogen bubble wires well upstream of and at the tip of the leading edge. A sample of the instantaneous pressure distribution for the case where the incident vortex dives beneath the edge is presented. The effect of scale of the incident vortex relative to that of the leading-edge was examined. The circulation and length scale of the incident vortices in the street are being characterized
Post-stall flow control on aerofoils by leading-edge flags
Self-excited oscillations of flags attached at the leading-edge of aerofoils have been investigated at post-stall angles of attack at a chord Reynolds number of 100,000. Significant increases in the time-averaged lift coefficient and stall angle have been observed for three aerofoils: one symmetric, one cambered and one with a sharp leading-edge. The aerodynamic improvement is due to the periodic formation of vortices caused by the flag oscillations. When the flag is near the aerofoil surface, it is lifted upwards by the induced velocity of the growing vortex. As the flag moves up, the vortex grows in strength and reaches maximum circulation when the flag is furthest from the aerofoil surface and subsequently sheds. Flags with large stiffness exhibit better spatial and temporal coherence of flag oscillations than the compliant flags, resulting in a larger maximum lift coefficient and higher stall angle. For all aerofoils tested, the best lift enhancement with respect to the clean aerofoils is found when the angle of attack is 6 to 10 above the stall angle of the clean aerofoil. High lift is observed when the flags are locked-in with the wake instability in a narrow frequency band, depending on the flag mass ratio and length
