Hydrodynamic Propulsive Performance of a Hybrid Aquatic-Aerial Rotor-Wing System under Collective Pitch and Rotational Speed Matching

This study utilizes IDDES numerical simulations to demonstrate that coordinating collective pitch and rotational speed can enhance the net propulsive efficiency of hybrid aquatic-aerial vehicles by up to 5.2% through optimized rotor-wing interactions, despite a trade-off where increased pitch improves system efficiency but may reduce rotor efficiency at excessively high settings.

Extreme temperature gradient drives substantial thermoelectric current in additive manufacturing

This study demonstrates that extreme temperature gradients in additive manufacturing generate substantial, anisotropic thermoelectric currents in AlSi10Mg that rival those in dedicated thermoelectric materials, significantly influencing melt-pool dynamics and solidification through Joule and Thomson heating, thereby challenging the conventional assumption that thermoelectric effects are negligible in engineering alloys.
