Summary: The effect of leading-edge shape on separation-induced transition on the suction surface is investigated through large eddy simulation. Two compressor controlled-diffusion airfoils with different leading-edge shapes are simulated, and two transitions are observed on the suction surface. The primary difference between the two airfoils lies in the leading-edge transition, which also leads to the distinction of fluctuating velocity amplitude and energy loss in the subsequent development of boundary layer flow.

Summary: Bionic coatings composed of gelatin-polysaccharide mixtures have been developed to reduce drag in turbulent flow. The release rate of polysaccharides and the properties of gelatin proportionally affect the drag reduction efficiency of the coatings. Further research is needed to clarify the underlying mechanisms and improve the application potential of these biomimetic coatings.

Summary: Wall-resolved large-eddy simulations (WR-LES) are used to study transitional and turbulent boundary-layer properties and flow structures downstream of a zigzag trip on the low-Reynolds-number SD7032 airfoil. It is found that a zigzag tape with sufficient thickness can induce transition quickly behind the trip through a shedding process, and lead to the formation of prominent three-dimensional vortical structures emanating from the zigzags. However, an overly thick tape will generate a thicker turbulent boundary layer, resulting in increased displacement and momentum loss and contributing to total drag.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the hydrodynamic characteristics of a square cylinder near a plane wall boundary under different Reynolds numbers, gap ratios, and turbulent intensities. The findings suggest that the hydrodynamic forces on the cylinder are independent of Reynolds number for small gap ratios, and low turbulent intensity has little effect on the vortex shedding process at larger gap ratios. Additionally, the suppression of vortex shedding was observed with decreasing gap ratios, with the base pressure increasing and drag coefficient decreasing as a result.

Summary: In this study, hydrodynamic interactions of a pair of three-sphere swimmers were comprehensively analyzed, revealing that quadrupolar field dominates at intermediate distances and increases swimming velocity. The rotations and translations behavior depend on the swimmer model and a mapping between stroke-based and force-based swimmers is possible only under low driving frequency. The long-term behavior of the swimmers is sensitive to initial relative positioning but independent of the pusher or puller nature of the swimmer.

Summary: A unique tunable trend in particle focusing is reported in elasto-inertial flows, where particles can be tuned to different focusing bandwidths. Numerical simulations and experimental observations show that particle focusing is affected by minute amounts of elasticity and flow rates. The study provides a new understanding of particle focusing in weakly elastic and strongly inertial flows, with potential applications in microfluidics-based biological sorting.

Summary: Free-response Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) tests were conducted on a cylindrical structure to study its response and hysteresis effects. By continuously varying the towing speed using a ramp-testing technique, the response data corresponding to continuously varying reduced velocity were obtained. The external electro-mechanical damping was systematically varied to control the cylinder's free-response and extract the lift and added mass coefficients. Contour plots of these coefficients as a function of dimensionless response amplitude and reduced velocity were presented. The drag coefficients of the stationary cylinder were also efficiently acquired using the ramp testing technique and compared with the VIV amplified drag coefficients.

Summary: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are attractive biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and treatment, but their low abundance in biological samples, especially in the early stages of tumors, makes it challenging to precisely analyze MMP activities. In this study, a peptide microarray-based metal-enhanced fluorescence assay (PMMEFA) is proposed as a sensitive and specific method to simultaneously detect MMP-1, -2, -3, -7, -9, and -13 activities. The PMMEFA showed excellent sensitivity and was capable of detecting MMP activities in various matrices.
