Show moreWithin the realm of fluid mechanics, there has always been an interest of bridging the gap between ideal- and real fluid flows. Pertaining to the study of turbulent duct flow, an aspect ratio (AR) configuration that would behave in such a manner would be considered a critical aspect ratio. This would mean the flow core would be unaffected by any sidewall contributions. Such analysis is done through wall shear measurement techniques; this study used oil-film interferometry (OFI).The first steps of this study were to determine sufficient criteria to ensure that the data collected were representative of the tested configuration, e.g. parameter choice and flow development length. Previous studies used the bulk velocity U_b which is derived from the entirety of the flow. This study focuses on the flow core, thus the choice to use the center-line velocity U_C seemed appropriate. The development length pertains to testing downstream from the inlet such that parameters are independent in th`e streamwise direction. This study demonstrates that the previously held value of x/H = 100 is insufficient and that nearly twice that is required.Furthermore, this study shows three very important findings: the flow development length required for testing is x/H ≈ 200, the size of the test platform plays little part in the overall behavior of the flow, and that the critical aspect ratio is AR = 24. These findings correspond to an aspect ratio range of 12.8 ≤ AR ≤ 48 and a Reynolds number range of 0.5 × 10^4 < Re_H < 4.0 × 10^4 . From these data, the estimated relationship between the coefficient of friction and the Reynolds number is shown with the following relation:Cf,C = 0.05164 Re_H ^ −0.25

Show moreThe primary focus of this project is to help blind and visually impaired individuals to swim independently. The team will be divided into two sub-teams. One sub-team will create a passive device, which uses a mechanical device to provide tactile feedback to the swimmer. The other sub-team will create an active device which uses special electronic devices such as a sonar based device to help guide the swimmer. These devices will be repeatedly tested and updated to help increase the independence of blind and visually impaired individuals exercise and further improve their quality of life.

Show moreSmith & Richardson, Inc. manufactures hundreds of different metal parts using a variety of stamping and welding equipment. There are two projects that are to be undertaken by the IPRO team: first to identify methods and programs that can be used to create a cohesive and easy to navigate database for machine shop tool storage and to implement that system so that it meshes with an existing computer system; second to identify methods, materials, and systems that can be used to automate a manual sorting and placement process and to achieve a working prototype of the mechanism.
