Reduced-order modeling is often utilized in obtaining an approximate solution to a complex high-fidelity system. An essential step in constructing a reduced-order system is to project the original high-fidelity system onto ...

Random fiber networks are assemblies of one-dimensional mechanical elements used to model the mechanics of various natural and man-made materials such as biopolymer gels and synthetic nonwovens. The small-strain mechanics ...

Bridging the gap between sub-scale, fundamental studies of synthetic jet actuators on aerodynamic models and full-scale applications on actual vehicles requires a thorough understanding of how the synthetic jets interact ...

The goal of this work was to develop, introduce, and test a promising computational paradigm for the development of turbulence models for incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). MHD governs the behavior of an electrically ...

It is well known that high-order finite element methods (FEM) are among the most powerful methods for simulating complex engineering problems in terms of solution accuracy and rate of convergence. In order to fully realize ...

The reduced cost and complexity of these designs has lead to research endeavors attempting to model the flight dynamics of the vehicle with low-order, computationally efficient models. The lowest of these models simply ...
