This paper presents the first scale resolving computational fluid dynamic (CFD) investigation of a geometrically realistic feather shuttlecock with rotation at a high Reynolds number. Rotation was found to reduce the drag coefficient of the shuttlecock. However, the drag coefficient is shown to be independent of the Reynolds number for both rotating and statically fixed shuttlecocks. Particular attention is given to the influence of rotation on the development of flow structures. Rotation is shown to have a clear influence on the formation of flow structures particularly from the feather vanes, and aft of the shuttlecock base. This further raises concerns regarding wind tunnel studies that use traditional experimental sting mounts; typically inserted into this aft region, they have potential to compromise both flow structure and resultant drag forces. As CFD does not necessitate use of a sting with proper application, it has great potential for a detailed study and analysis of shuttlecocks.

Dalam teori pelumasan klasik hidrodinamika, asumsi permukaan kontak bearing yang benar-benar halus sering kali digunakan. Meskipun demikian, telah dibuktikan bahwa asumsi tersebut tidak realistis dikarenakan pada umumnya, tidak ada permukaan bearing yang benar-benar halus. Tulisan ini membahas pengaruh kekasaran permukaan terhadap performa slider bearing bertektur dengan menggunakan pendekatan CFD (computational fluid dynamic). Model kavitasi multi-phase digunakan untuk memodelkan fenomena kavitasi yang lebih riil. Performa slider bearing dengan tingkat kekasaran permukaan tertentu dibandingkan dengan slider bearing halus dengan menvariasikan kondisi inersia. Berdasarkan hasil simulasi, ditemukan bahwa tekanan hidrodinamik dan daya dukung beban berkurang dengan bertambahnya kekasaran permukaan. Selain itu, jika bearing dirancang agar memiliki kondisi inersia yang rendah, daya dukung beban akan menjadi lebih besar.
