Base Flow Control through Bullet-Shaped Ribs at Mach 1.6

The rapid development of space transportation systems and high-speed military aircrafts have intensified interest in turbulent separated flows, particularly under transonic and supersonic conditions. Such flows commonly arise downstream of sudden expansions, where separation and subsequent reattachment generate strong shear layers, increased drag, and a low-pressure recirculation region at the base. In this study, the control of base pressure downstream of a sudden expansion is investigated numerically using a passive bullet-shaped rib. A jet issuing…

Research on Anisotropic Electro-Thermal Coupling Model for Large-Capacity Prismatic Lithium-Ion Power Batteries

Large-capacity energy storage batteries exhibit thermal behaviors markedly different from conventional cylindrical or pouch cells. Due to their multilayer electrode structure, they show pronounced anisotropy in thermal conductivity between through-thickness and in-plane directions. This results in uneven heat diffusion and internal–external temperature gradients that surface sensors cannot capture. Moreover, heat generation varies with temperature and state of charge (SOC) owing to changes in internal resistance. To address these challenges, an equivalent circuit and anisotropic electrothermal…
