The impact of the pitching motion on the structure of the vortical flow over a slender delta wing under sideslip angle

The primary purpose of this investigation is to observe the effect of the pitching motion on the vortical flow structure and bursting of leading-edge vortices over a delta wing under the sideslip angle, β using a dye visualization technique. In the current work, a delta wing with a sweep angle of Λ = 70° was oscillated in upstroke and downstroke direction to be able to discover the influence of pitching motion on the flow characteristics of the delta wing. The values of mean angles of attack were selected as α_m = 25° and α_m = 35°, and the sideslip angle was altered from β = 0 to 16°. The delta wing oscillated with the various periods of T_e = 5 s, 20 s, and 60 s, respectively. Amplitude of motion was adjusted as α_o =  ± 5°. It is found that the pitching motion of the delta wing under the sideslip angle β varies the location of the vortex bursting and vortical flow structure substantially.

     

Chemosensor properties of 7-hydroxycoumarin substituted cyclotriphosphazenes

The newly synthesized cyclotriphosphazene cored coumarin chemosensors 5, 6, and 7 were successfully characterized by ¹ H NMR, ³¹ P NMR, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Additionally, the photophysical and metal sensing properties of the targeted compounds were determined by fluorescence spectroscopy in the presence of various metals (Li ⁺ , Na ⁺ , K ⁺ , Cs ⁺ , Mg ²⁺ , Ca ²⁺ , Ba ²⁺ , Cr ³⁺ , Mn ²⁺ , Fe ³⁺ , Co ²⁺ , Al ³⁺ , Hg ⁺ , Cu ²⁺ , Zn ²⁺ , Ag ⁺ , and Cd ²⁺ ) . The fluorescence titration results showed that compounds 5, 6, and 7 could be employed as fluorescent chemosensors for Fe ³⁺ ions with high sensitivity. The complex stoichiometry between final cyclotriphosphazene chemosensors and Fe ³⁺ ions was also determined by Job’s plots.
