Tip Vortex dynamics and Visualization
A better understanding of downwash flow is required to increase the efficiency of unmanned aerial vehicle sprayers. The tip vortex rolled up by the rotor blade tip rotating at high speed produces a complex induced velocity field, which has an essential impact on the downwash flow in the wake of the rotor. Usually, a symmetrical experimental setup with a central rotor support perpendicular to the rotation plane is used in studies on rotating blade wake and vortices, potentially leading to differences in observed wake and vortices in real situations. In reality, the rotor is typically supported by a parallel arm extending below the rotor in the rotation plane. It is crucial to consider these differences for accurate results in analyzing blade rotation. The behavior of the tip vortices, dynamic characteristics, and velocity field of the rotor wake in agricultural drone single-rotor downwash flow was experimentally investigated using particle image velocimetry (PIV) combined with high-speed camera imaging. The dynamics of blade tip vortices at different wake ages and rotational speeds of the rotor, 1000–3000 rpm, were measured and analyzed. The results indicate that in the early stages of a vortex's life, tip vortices generated by rotors do not have an axisymmetric structure, and the swirl velocity in the core decreases logarithmically as the wake age increases. Vortex models were validated by examining the swirl velocity structure of the vortex tip. Vortices within the vortex core exhibit a comparable self-similar velocity profile to the Iverson model's laminar profile, despite the transition flow outside the vortex core. With these measurements, the behavior of vortices in the rotor’s wake could be described with generalized semi-empirical models.
Particle emission, transfer, and deposition from laser printers
In this research, computational modeling of particle transport and distribution emitted from a Laserjet printer was carried out in a ventilated room. A seated manikin was integrated into the study room, and the manikin was evaluated in two cases: heated and unheated. The printer was located on different sides of the manikin and the particle concentrations in the breathing zone of the manikin due to the printer’s particles were evaluated in all the ventilation configurations. The averaged particle concentration in the breathing zone of the manikin was calculated and validated with the experimental and numerical data available in the literature. The results of the present study showed that in the case of the heated manikin, the particle concentration due to the printer pollutants is significant in the breathing zone of the manikin.

Nozzle design and simulation
The family of supersonic gas nozzles are characterized by a changing converging-diverging shape of various ratios of radial and axial coordinates.Converging-diverging nozzle, is perhaps the most important and basic piece of engineering hardware associated with propulsion and the high speed flow of gases. Gas flows through the nozzle from a region of high pressure (usually referred to as the chamber) to one of low pressure (referred to as the ambient or tank). The method of characteristics provides a technique for properly designing the contour of a supersonic nozzle for shock free, isentropic flow, taking into account the multidimensional flow inside the duct. FLUENT was used to independently check the accuracy of the program developed for designing the contour wall. The CFD program was used to simulate the flow and produce dimensional entropy change and Mach contour plots to evaluate if the flow was shock free and the desired exit Mach was reached.
It can be seen that the large majority of the fluid domain demonstrates constant entropy signifying that the isentropic flow assumption is valid. The exit Mach number is checked by the Mach contours of the simulation.
