Objective The objective for this work was to investigate how the human musculoskeletal system deals with propagation and attenuation of the shock wave initiated at the heel strike. An experiment was designed to evaluate the shock wave on both tibial tuberosities and forehead.

Ammonium bisulfate (ABS) is an acidic deposit that can form on the metal elements of air preheaters in power boilers, leading to unit operational issues. As a byproduct of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems for nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions control, ABS could result in unit efficiency deterioration, even unit outage. ABS formation temperature is an important factor in controlling the issues associated with ABS fouling problems. If the ABS formation temperature could be monitored, the ABS deposition location could be identified.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations have been conducted for different configurations of pre-designed multiple hydrokinetic turbines. The turbines are modeled physically within the fluid domain instead of low fidelity actuator lines or actuator disk modeling approaches. The turbulence model, k-ω Shear Stress Transport (SST) was employed to resolve turbulent flow field. The primary focus of this study is to investigate transient behavior of multiple turbines and providing solutions to enhance downstream turbine performance in close proximity to the upstream turbine wake.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) can be a great tool for analyzing the structural integrity of any mechanical design. Paired with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) the forces can be evaluated on a hydro turbine allowing for such an analysis. In this case, two micro hydro turbines were analyzed, an Archimedes Screw design, in the case of an available head, and a hydrokinetic design, aiming at extracting the kinetic energy of a river.

Flows past bluff bodies are encountered in many engineering applications. The bluff body situated in the flow experience a significant amount of pressure drag force. Therefore, it is important to predict flow conditions around bluff bodies when designing bridges, platforms, pipelines near seabed, offshore structures, and hydropower systems. In several engineering applications, structures could often be placed near surfaces. Transient flows past rectangular plates in the vicinity of surfaces are investigated in this study.
