    New droplet aero-breakup mechanism associated to unsteady flow loading
    (Elsevier, 2021-02-20) García Magariño, A.; Velázquez, Ángel; Sor, Suthyvann; Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (INTA); Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO)
    Experimental testing on the unsteady aero-breakup of ethyl alcohol droplets was carried out at the rotating arm facility of INTA. The selection of the working fluid was driven by the need to explore wider ranges of the dimensionless parameters that govern the problem. A model airfoil was attached at the end of a 2.3 m long rotating arm driven by an electric motor. Droplets, whose diameter ranged from 500 mm to 1500 mm, were allow to fall in the path of the airfoil that attained velocities in the range between 30 m/s and 60 m/s. Droplets trajectories and breakup modes were recorded, and a new breakup mode was identified. Its sequence is as follows: 1) the droplet deforms as an oblate spheroid, 2) a bulge appears and grows on its flow facing surface, 3) the droplet thickens in the stream-wise direction; 4) the thickening in the rear part of the droplet develops in the shape of a cone, 5) the cone grows thinner until a finger like shape is formed. Additionally, based on a theoretical model developed by the authors, a comparison has been made between the deformation and breakup onset phases of ethyl-alcohol and water droplets up to the instant of breakup.

    Mars 2020 Wind Velocity Measurement Interferences at High Reynolds Numbers
    (Aerospace Research Central, 2019-12-29) García Magariño, A.; Bardera, Rafael; Muñoz, Javier; Sor, Suthyvann; Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (INTA)
    The Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer will be dedicated to getting meteorological data from Mars during NASA’s Mars 2020 rover mission. High-quality Mars atmosphere measurements are required in order to build mathematical models of the climate on a planetary scale. The Mars 2020 rover will be equipped with two wind sensors installed on two separated booms working in active redundancy but producing a mutual aerodynamic interference on one another’s wind measurements. This paper presents a systematic study on the interferences produced by the sensors and the rover body itself when measuring wind velocities in order to get insight to assess the uncertainties produced by this effect.

    Interferometric laser imaging for droplet sizing method for long range measurements
    (Elsevier, 2021-01-15) García Magariño, A.; Sor, Suthyvann; Muñoz Campillejo, Javier; Bardera, Rafael; García Magariño, A.; Sor, Suthyvann; Muñoz-Campillejo, Javier; Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (INTA)
    A recent appendix in the aircraft regulations comprises testing supercooled large droplets impinging on its surfaces. For those tests, the size and distributions of droplets need to be characterized in icing wind tunnels. In this paper, the applicability of implementation of the “Interferometric Laser Imaging for Droplet Sizing” technique inside a wind tunnel with a 3 m × 2 m open elliptical test section has been discussed. Experiments have been conducted in the laboratory for the discussion at object distance of 1.6 m and 2.29 m and droplets diameters between 360 µm and 850 µm. All the streams were previously characterized by means of the shadowgraph imaging technique. A novel approach of the Interferometric Laser Imaging for Droplet Sizing technique where droplets are not fully defocused to avoid excessive overlapping is presented. Two new image processing approaches provide in general good results as compared to previous methods.

    Droplet breakup criterion in airfoils leading edge vicinity
    (Aerospace Research Central, 2018-05-07) García Magariño, A.; Velázquez, Ángel; Sor, Suthyvann; Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (INTA); Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO)
    A new breakup criterion is proposed in this paper for droplets subject to the flowfield generated by an incoming airfoil (that is, the criterion should be applied only to this type of aerodynamics flow). This criterion is based on the study of the characteristic times involved in the problem. These are the characteristic external flowfield variation time and the characteristic droplet deformation time. The criterion takes the shape of an empirical correlation that relates the Weber number at the onset of the breakup to the external flowfield and droplet characteristics. Experimental data on the droplet deformation and breakup tests conducted in a rotating arm facility are used to generate the data used to develop the correlation. Droplets, with diameters in the range of 0.3–3.6 mm, are allowed to fall in the path of an incoming airfoil attached to the end of a rotating arm. Airfoil velocities vary between 50 and 90 m∕s. The airfoil leading-edge radius varies from 0.030 to 0.103 m. Experiments are recorded with a high-speed camera using the shadowgraph illumination technique. The empirical breakup correlation applies to droplets that break in the bag and stamen mode. Some additional limited data on droplets that break in the bag and the shear mode are analyzed to see how they fit into the correlation.

    Impacts of Saharan Dust Intrusions on Bacterial Communities of the Low Troposphere
    (Springer Nature Research Journals, 2020-04-22) González Toril, Elena; Osuna, Toril; Viúdez Moreiras, Daniel; Navarro Cid, Ivan; Díaz del Toro, Silvia; Bardera, Rafael; Puente Sánchez, Fernando; De Diego Castilla, Graciela; Aguilera, Á.; Sor, Suthyvann; Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO); Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI); Unidad de Excelencia Científica María de Maeztu Centro de Astrobiología del Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial y CSIC, MDM-2017-0737
    We have analyzed the bacterial community of a large Saharan dust event in the Iberian Peninsula and, for the first time, we offer new insights regarding the bacterial distribution at different altitudes of the lower troposphere and the replacement of the microbial airborne structure as the dust event receeds. Samples from different open-air altitudes (surface, 100 m and 3 km), were obtained onboard the National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA) C-212 aircrafts. Samples were collected during dust and dust-free air masses as well two weeks after the dust event. Samples related in height or time scale seems to show more similar community composition patterns compared with unrelated samples. The most abundant bacterial species during the dust event, grouped in three different phyla: (a) Proteobacteria: Rhizobiales, Sphingomonadales, Rhodobacterales, (b) Actinobacteria: Geodermatophilaceae; (c) Firmicutes: Bacillaceae. Most of these taxa are well known for being extremely stress-resistant. After the dust intrusion, Rhizobium was the most abundant genus, (40–90% total sequences). Samples taken during the flights carried out 15 days after the dust event were much more similar to the dust event samples compared with the remaining samples. In this case, Brevundimonas, and Methylobacterium as well as Cupriavidus and Mesorizobium were the most abundant genera.

    Micro/Bubble drag reduction focused on new applications
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-06-28) García Magariño, A.; López Gavilan, Pablo; Terroba, F.; Sor, Suthyvann; Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (INTA)
    Bubble drag reduction has been shown to be a promising technique for reducing the drag in ships, thus reducing the emission of pollutants and allowing the compliance with the new requirements imposed recently in this respect. Different searches have been conducted in the publications related to this technique, and an increase in interest has been shown, especially in the last decade. In this context, a review of the experimental work related to bubble drag reduction published in the last decade is presented in the present article. The works were classified according to the facility used (towing tank, cavitation tunnel, water channel, Taylor–Couette…), and the main finding are presented. It was found that two new trends in research have arisen, while there are still contradictions in the fundamental basis, which needs further study.

    A comparative analysis of helicopter recovery maneuvers on a SFS by means of PIV and balance measurements
    (Elsevier, 2023-05-23) Matías García, J. C.; Bardera, Rafael; Franchini, Sebastián; Barroso, Estela; Sor, Suthyvann; Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (INTA)
    The flow field around a frigate is complex due to flow detachments, high velocity gradients, and flow unsteadiness. These flow patterns can endanger helicopter operations around frigates and increase pilot workload above the flight deck. This paper contains a comparative analysis of three different recovery maneuvers: an approach from the stern in the centerline plane (S); a diagonal maneuver (D); and an L-shaped maneuver. The comparison is made using wind tunnel tests with a scaled frigate and a motorized helicopter. For the three maneuvers, velocity contours around the helicopter with Particle Image Velocimetry are obtained. An internal balance is also used to obtain forces and moments on the helicopter during the flight path of the maneuvers. Those measurements show that the wake of the ship mostly affects longitudinal and thrust forces. In addition, pitch torque is highly reduced when the helicopter is behind the frigate superstructure, and the roll moment is also important when the wind angle increases. In the end, an estimation of pilot workload is presented to conclude that L-shaped maneuver is the best for 0° and small WOD angles and D or S recoveries for moderately high negative WOD angles.

    From pomegranate byproducts waste to worth: A review of extraction techniques and potential applications for their revalorization
    (EDP Sciences, 2024-04-17) García Rodríguez, J. A.; Sor, Suthyvann; García Magariño, A.
    The food industry is quite interested in the use of (techno)-functional bioactive compounds from byproducts to develop ‘clean label’ foods in a circular economy. The aim of this review is to evaluate the state of the knowledge and scientific evidence on the use of green extraction technologies (ultrasound-, microwave-, and enzymatic-assisted) of bioactive compounds from pomegranate peel byproducts, and their potential application via the supplementation/fortification of vegetal matrixes to improve their quality, functional properties, and safety. Most studies are mainly focused on ultrasound extraction, which has been widely developed compared to microwave or enzymatic extractions, which should be studied in depth, including their combinations. After extraction, pomegranate peel byproducts (in the form of powders, liquid extracts, and/or encapsulated, among others) have been incorporated into several food matrixes, as a good tool to preserve ‘clean label’ foods without altering their composition and improving their functional properties. Future studies must clearly evaluate the energy efficiency/consumption, the cost, and the environmental impact leading to the sustainable extraction of the key bio-compounds. Moreover, predictive models are needed to optimize the phytochemical extraction and to help in decision-making along the supply chain.

    Development and characterization of a low-cost wind tunnel balance for aerodynamic drag measurements
    (IOP Science Publishing, 2019-06-17) Bardera, Rafael; García Magariño, A.; Matías García, J. C.; Donoso, Eduardo; Sor, Suthyvann; Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (INTA)
    Drag force measurement is one of the most important data that can be obtained in wind tunnel tests. Drag force is directly related to the energy that a vehicle needs to move, and, therefore, to the fuel costs associated with it. For vehicles, drag forces are usually measured in wind tunnels. The typical instruments for drag measurement are the force balances, which are usually complex and expensive instruments. The aim of this investigation is to study the development of a low-cost in-house balance for drag measurements in a wind tunnel. Based on a commercial available load cell XFTC300 Series in combination with simple elements designed and manufactured at INTA, a balance capable of measuring the drag force to models in a considerably wide adjustable range has been developed and characterized. The balance has been calibrated and used in a wind tunnel. Tests were carried out on a truck model, a simplified frigate shape and an Ahmed Body to obtain the resistance coefficient and evaluate the operation of the balance.
