Projects

• Designing a cambered airfoil (NACA 6609) to be built with 3-D printer and then acquiring the unsteady tests results as coefficients of Lift, Drag and Pitching Moment values versus angle of attack at different speeds and frequencies for the NACA 6609 airfoil and a symmetric NACA 0012 airfoil to confirm a theory which removes the small-angle and small-camber assumptions from the unsteady added-mass terms that appear in the unsteady thin-airfoil theory and produce an expression for quasi-steady effective angle of attack. Unsteady aerodynamic developments in the past few decades have built upon the quasi-steady thin airfoil theory that includes the small-angle and small-camber assumptions. Considering the removal of the small-camber assumption aids in the force prediction for unsteady motions of cambered airfoils, the theory is compared with experimental measurements of a pitching and plunging NACA 6609 cambered airfoil in Andrew Fejer Unsteady Subsonic Wind Tunnel at Illinois Institute of Technology.

• Experimental Investigation of the Pressure Distribution and the Dominant Frequencies in the Subsonic Wind Tunnel Contraction to prevent Probable Separation. Subsonic wind tunnel experiments were conducted to study the effect of forced transition on the pressure distribution in the contraction. Measurements were performed with forced transient through installing trip strip (guitar string) at three different positions in the convex part of the contraction. The result shows that the installation of the trip strip at X/L

= 0.77 of the contraction has significant effects on reducing the adverse pressure gradient and dominant frequencies in contraction in order to reduce the turbulence intensity of the flow in the test section.

• Simulating an Advanced Combustion of a single cylinder engine with dual fuel system using GT-POWER Engine performance simulation software to obtain a higher efficiency by having a pre-mixed combustion and lower the emission comprising mainly of CO and unburned hydrocarbons. The 1-D model was similar to setup of a 2.0 L turbocharged VW engine in the Illinois Institute of Technology Advanced Engine Control Laboratory (AECL), which the primary fuel was diesel and secondary fuel was gasoline with controlled timing fuel injection by using various controllers for the pre-mixing to take place inside the cylinder.
