Authors: Anelfia Syifa Chaerunisa , Mufit Fatni
Published: January 2024

Teaching materials are a very important component in the learning process. The completeness of teaching materials is the main factor in increasing students' understanding of concepts and can reduce student misconceptions. Teaching materials in schools are currently still very limited and there are no teaching materials that can overcome students' misconceptions and are not yet integrated with technology. One solution to overcome this is by developing cognitive conflict-based teaching materials integrated with Augmented Reality technology. This study aims to present the results of the needs analysis of cognitive conflict teaching materials integrated with augmented reality (AR) sound wave material. This research is a descriptive research, which was conducted at SMA N 15 Padang. The research subjects were 36 students and 3 physics teachers. The instrument of this research is a questionnaire to the teacher, questionnaire to students and journal analysis sheets. Data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results of the study show that teachers still experience many obstacles when implementing an independent curriculum and the need for special training in implementing an independent curriculum. The teaching materials used by students are still limited and there are no teaching materials that can overcome students' misconceptions and the teaching materials are not yet integrated with technology. The level of students' understanding of sound waves is still low and there are misconceptions. Therefore, from the results of preliminary research it is necessary to develop cognitive conflict-based physics teaching materials that integrate augmented reality technology.

The utilization of Diff-Quik stain has emerged as a potent assessment tool for triaging potentially malignant specimens. This evaluation procedure not only streamlines the diagnostic process but has also proven to be an effective means of identifying cases that warrant further scrutiny. In particular, the sensitivity of cytodiagnosis in effusions is significantly enhanced through the meticulous preparation of Diff-Quik stained slides. To check efficacy of predictive slides in mitigating cross-contamination risk in cytopathology laboratory staining methods. To evaluate the cytological disparencies in cytology reporting. The Methodology involves the subjection of the collected effusion samples to the Diff-Quik staining process for prompt identification of any cellular abnormalities enabling the early detection of potential malignancies. Due to the high importance of cytodiagnostic procedures with high sensitivity for distinguishing between benign and malignant samples, the application of the Diff-Quik staining process deems to be a pertinent tool in detecting subtle cellular alterations indicative of malignancy. It is imperative to note that the evaluation process using Diff-Quik staining method primarily focuses on minimizing the false negatives, this is to reduce the risk of contamination of subsequent slides. Due to this reduction, the probability of cross-contamination as also been reduced enhancing the validity of the subsequent diagnostic procedures. The preparation of Diff-Quik stained slides not only improves the accuracy of diagnosis but also contributes to the expedition of reporting, which enhances efficient workflow dynamic. In doing so, health care professionals can receive their results in a timely manner enabling them to make prompt decisions. In conclusion, the Diff-Quik staining method has proven to be an effective triage method for the identification of potentially malignant specimens due to its elevated sensitivity for cytodiagnosis and its enhanced efficiency for timely patient care.
IRON DEFICIENCY WITH AND WITHOUT ANEMIA IN PATIENTS OF HEART FAILURE WITH REDUCED EJECTION FRACTION
Authors: Siddiqi Dr. Zeba
Published: January 2024

Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common dietary deficiency in the world and the leading cause of anemia. Iron deficiency can lead to symptoms both due to the lack of iron and due to the resultant anemia. Heart failure patients can develop iron deficiency (ID) by various mechanisms. Considering that iron levels may vary in different geographical regions according to economic, environmental, infectious, and genetic factors, this study was particularly devoted for studying iron deficiency in heart failure patients irrespective of presence of anemia. Patients >18 years diagnosed with heart failure on the basis of clinical and biochemical parameters and an ejection fraction ≤40% on transthoracic echocardiography were recruited and biochemical parameters and iron profile was analysed for the presence of iron deficiency. The study subjects' mean ejection fraction was 35.02±4.56%. The mean age was 59.33± 14.06 years. The study involved 90 patients, of whom 69 (76.7%) were classified as iron deficient because their S. ferritin levels were less than 100 μg/L and/or their transferrin saturation was less than 20%. The remaining 21 patients were classified as having normal iron levels. NT pro-BNP was significantly higher in iron deficient cases than those with normal iron (7822±7047 vs. 2673±1806 pg/ml). In the present study 76.7% of individuals with heart failure and a decreased ejection fraction had iron insufficiency. Further studies with larger sample size to correlate grades of HF with ID strata are recommended. This has got therapeutic potential and lays scaffold for prospective studies.

Authors: Yadav Dr. Pradeep Kumar
Published: January 2024

This review article critically examines the multifaceted landscape of facial injuries resulting from road traffic accidents (RTAs). We systematically analyze the epidemiological aspects, investigating the prevalence, distribution, and demographic variations of facial injuries observed in RTA victims. Additionally, we explore the diverse mechanisms underlying these injuries, ranging from impact forces to vehicular collision dynamics. The comprehensive synthesis of available literature sheds light on the specific patterns of facial trauma arising from different types of accidents, such as collisions, pedestrians struck by vehicles, and motorcycle accidents. By elucidating the unique injury profiles associated with these scenarios, we aim to provide a nuanced understanding of the complexities involved in facial injury causation during RTAs. In addressing the broader implications for injury prevention, we discuss current interventions and their effectiveness in mitigating facial injuries. This involves an examination of protective measures, such as helmets, airbags, and advancements in vehicle safety technology, along with an assessment of their impact on reducing the severity and frequency of facial trauma. Furthermore, this review emphasizes the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration between medical professionals, traffic safety experts, and policymakers. Through a collective effort, we can enhance preventive strategies, improve emergency response protocols, and enact policy measures aimed at reducing the burden of facial injuries resulting from RTAs. In summary, this abstract provides a glimpse into the intricate exploration of facial injuries in the context of road traffic accidents. By amalgamating epidemiological insights, mechanistic understanding, and discussions on injury prevention, this review contributes to a holistic comprehension of the challenges and opportunities in addressing facial trauma arising from RTAs.

Published: January 2024

Preoperative planning of hip arthroplasty provides surgeons with a unique opportunity of thorough investigation of the patient’s anatomy, allows them to determine optimal implant size and position, as well as to prevent potential complication. Advances in digital technology enable expansion of opportunities of preoperative planning due to using three-dimensional modeling. The study was aimed to compare precision of the three-step preoperative planning of hip arthroplasty and the standard method. Methods: The study involved 224 patients with various forms of degenerative and dystrophic diseases of the hip joint, who were divided into the index and control groups based on the planning method. In the index group, preoperative planning of arthroplasty was conducted in three steps: assessment of bone density in the zones of fixation based on CT; virtual design involving the use of automated programs; 3D model construction based on the computer model. X-ray images and endoprosthesis templates were used in the comparison group. The results showed that there were no significant differences between planning methods in patients with osteoarthrosis and avascular necrosis of the femoral head (p > 0.05), in contrast to the group with traumatic hip joint pathology showing significant differences (рс = 0.002). Conclusions: the three-step algorithm for preoperative planning of hip arthroplasty showed higher efficacy in patients with various nosological forms of degenerative and dystrophic diseases of the hip joint compared to the standard method.

Published: January 2024

Currently, in vitro fertilization (IVF) with embryo transfer is the main method of treatment of all forms of infertility, but successful cases ending in pregnancy still account for only a third of all cycles performed. It is necessary to take into account many parameters and investigate the connections between them in order to properly evaluate the results of IVF. Over the past decades, a number of IVF prediction models have been developed with the aim at assessing the outcomes in individual cases, but, given the generally poor prognostic capacity, only a few of them have proven to be clinically significant. This study aimed to create nonlinear IVF outcomes prediction models and identify the most significant factors affecting the said outcomes. Using a database containing information on more than 700 indicators of 7004 women aged 18 to 45 years who participated in the IVF program in Russia from 2010 to 2020, we trained a random forest model that predicted pregnancy in the IVF cycle with ROC-AUC = 0.69. This paper describes 20 most successful predictors of the resulting model and interprets their contribution to the prognosis. Of these, body mass index (BMI) and the number of received and fertilized oocytes have been covered in the scientific literature previously as predictors of IVF outcomes, but other parameters, such as anamnestic data, previous participation in an IVF program (number of cases and their results), as well as serum concentration of AMH, rarely appear in foreign prognostic models.

Ineffectiveness of UNHCR in Handling the Myanmar Conflict
Authors: Sabil Akbar Averroes , Surwandono Surwandono
Published: January 2024

UNHCR has a history of success in managing humanitarian issues and ultimately contributing to the birth of a new consciousness to consciously end conflicts. However, in the context of the conflict in Myanmar, UNHCR, which has systematically conducted humanitarian interventions to build a new consciousness to end the conflict, has failed to manage the humanitarian interventions to build a new consciousness to end the conflict. This article will explain the factors of failure in ending the conflict in order to see how deep the value of peace consciousness of peace consciousness can influence decisions in the conflict. This article finds that the Myanmar government's lack of political awareness of a number of ratified humanitarian conventions has made UNHCR's humanitarian interventions hit and run, so that peace values do not grow into core values. UNHCR's failure to transform the Refugee Convention into a new value in the ASEAN normative structure has rendered double contingency ineffective.

Published: January 2024

Introduction

This study examined the prevalence of functional difficulties and associated factors in Canadian children/youth aged 5 to 17 years diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Methods

We analyzed data from the 2019 Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth (CHSCY), a nationally representative survey of Canadian children/youth that used the Washington Group Short Set on Functioning (WG-SS) to evaluate functioning in six daily tasks. For each functional domain, binary outcomes were derived (no/some difficulty, a lot of difficulty/no ability). We used logistic regression to identify associations between demographic characteristics, educational experiences, and perceived mental and general health and the most common functional difficulties, namely those related to remembering/concentrating, communication and self-care. All estimates were weighted to be representative of the target population. The bootstrap method was used to calculate variance estimates.

Results

Analysis of the records of 660 children/youth with ASD revealed that the most common functional difficulties were remembering/concentrating (22%; 95% CI: 18–27), communicating (19%; 95% CI: 15–23) and self-care (13%; 95% CI: 10–17). Lower perceived mental health was associated with increased functional difficulties with remembering/concentrating. ASD diagnosis at a lower age and lower perceived general health were associated with increased functional difficulty with communication. Parental expectations for postsecondary education were associated with decreased functional difficulty for self-care.

Conclusion

One or more functional difficulties from the WG-SS was present in 39% of Canadian children/youth aged 5 to 17 years with ASD. Functional difficulties with remembering/concentrating, communication and self-care were most common.
Utilização da sinalização tátil para incluir pessoas com deficiência visual

Published: January 2024

Os espaços públicos urbanos, por vezes, apresentam diversas barreiras na locomoção e uso pleno, sendo as pessoas com deficiência as mais afetadas. Pessoascom cegueira ou baixa visão são privadas de usufruir de determinados espaços quando esses são projetados desconsiderando aqueles que não podem enxergar. O direito das pessoas com deficiência a ambientes acessíveis e em igualdade de oportunidades é assegurado por lei, entretanto, para que esse direito seja efetivado, faz-se necessário maior envolvimento dessas pessoas no desenvolvimento das normativas de acessibilidade, como é o caso da norma brasileira de sinalização tátil no piso de 2016, que apresenta problemas de usabilidade identificados pelos usuários, atestados mediante resultados de pesquisa de doutorado e também após sua conclusão, através de entrevistas com grupo focal, questionário, passeios acompanhados e participação em reuniões junto à ABNT para revisão da norma.
The impact of ERP utilization and ESG practices on earnings management—An empirical study of Taiwan
Authors: Hsiung Hsing-Hua , Chen Ya-Hsin
Published: January 2024

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system utilization and Environmental, Governance, Social (ESG) practice incorporation have jointly wielded significant influence on various aspects of accounting operations. On the other side, leveraging the robust information infrastructure, Taiwanese firms have widely implemented ERP systems and have been aligning with international ESG initiatives in recent years. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of ERP utilization and ESG practices on real and accrual earnings management among firms listed in Taiwan over an 19-year span from 2003 to 2021. The results of this study suggest duration of ERP implementation has a negative impact on accruals earnings management, but has a positively influence on real management. The results underscore the significant influence of ERP utilization duration on the different aspects of corporate earnings management activity. Additionally, our investigation illustrates a negative association between the corporate assimilation of ESG practices and both real and accrual earnings management. This reveals that enterprises committed to implementing ESG practices highlight long-term substantive operations over the short term periodic performance of financial statements.
Silver-coated tibial plateau leveling osteotomy implants do not improve surgical site infection rates over noncoated implants in a randomized trial in 73 canines
Authors: Engel Danielle M. , McCoy Annette M. , Robbins Mitchell A.
Published: January 2024

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the incidence of surgical site infections (SSIs) in dogs undergoing a tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) with silver-coated (SC) and noncoated (NC) TPLO plates.

ANIMALS

65 dogs (73 surgical procedures).

METHODS

Client-owned dogs undergoing a TPLO procedure between November 2021 and May 2023 were prospectively enrolled. Dogs were randomly assigned either an SC or NC TPLO plate at the time of surgery. Follow-up was performed at 2 weeks and 8 weeks postoperatively by in-person examination, client questionnaire, or telephone interview. Dogs were followed up 100 days postoperatively for any incisional or implant complications.

RESULTS

Among 73 stifles that underwent a TPLO, the overall SSI rate was 8.2% (6/73), with an infection rate of 14.3% (5/35) in the NC group and 2.6% (1/38) in the SC group; this difference was not significant (P = .17). Five of these infections were superficial, and only 1 deep SSI was recorded within the 100-day study period (NC group).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Although no significant difference was noted between the SC and NC groups, likely due to a small sample size and overall low infection rate, there was a trend showing a higher infection rate in the NC group. No conclusions can be drawn on the impact of silver coating on deep or organ/space incisional infections due to the low incidence reported in this study (n = 1). Further investigation of SC TPLO implants in a larger and more long-term clinical study is warranted.
Lathyrism and the half-life of collagen
Authors: Taverne Aart A. R.
Published: January 2024

Maturation of collagen in the periodontal ligament has often been designated as the cause of tooth eruption. The fact that collagen has a high turnover rate provided some sort of proof of this hypothesis. It is well known that lathyrogens decrease eruption rate. Experiments were performed, using Wistar rats, which looked into the relationship between collagen turnover and lathyrism. The collagen turnover was established in teeth not erupting after the administration of lathyrogens. These results were compared to those obtained after having stopped eruption by the placement of a goldcrown on the lower incisors. It was found that lathyrism, and therefore collagen maturation, did not influence turnover rate. Thus the supposition, that collagen is responsible for tooth eruption, becomes doubtful.

Published: January 2024

The effects of presurgical orthodontic decompensation on lower incisor inclination und angle ANB were studied using u modified Pancherz10 method of cephalometric analysis. Two groups of patients with mandibular hyperplasia were studied: one group (Group 1) of nineteen cases which required orthodontic decompansation and another (Group 2) of twenty-one cases which did not. The cephalometric changes wluch occurred in Group 1 were compared with the significant cephalometric differences existing between the two groups with respect to incisor inclination (ILi/OL; P<.001) and the sagittal relation (ANB; P<0.05). After orthodontic treatment the average lower incisal angulation of the treated group was the same as that in the untreated group; the variations (S.D) being 3.6 degrees and 7.4 degrees respectively indicating that the clinical assessment of the orthodontic treatment effect was quite high.

Published: January 2024

The province of Bali has a solar energy potential of 1,254 MW but has only utilized 3.7 MWp up to the year 2020. One of the factors contributing to the slow development of PV in Bali is the need for large land areas for the construction of large-scale PV system. One solution to address the limited land availability for large-scale PV is by utilizing bodies of water through the implementation of floating PV. Lake Batur is the largest lake in Bali and has the potential to serve as a location for floating PV. This research aims to determine the technical potential of floating PV and design a system for floating PV in Lake Batur. With reference to the Lake Batur utilization plan and regulations for the use of floating PV, Lake Batur has a technical potential for floating PV of 76.44 MWp. The design of floating PV in Lake Batur is created with three scenarios. All three scenarios for floating PV show performance ratios within the range of 75-85%. The floating PV system also demonstrates an improvement in performance when compared to ground-mounted PV systems.

Authors: Ferrari Anderson Claiton , Fagundes Hugo de Souza , Pereira Marcos Gervasio , Zonta Everaldo
Published: January 2024

Objective: The present study aimed to characterize oilseed cakes and phosphate sources and select promising formulations in terms of phosphorus supply.
 
Theoretical framework: The availability of phosphates with sufficient quality for industrial processing has a reduced longevity, while materials with low phosphorus content are little used. The association between organic materials and marginal phosphorus sources has been reported as promising in the use of these materials.
 
Methodology: Samples of castor bean (TM), crambe (TC), sunflower (TG) and jatropha (TPM), simple superphosphate (SS) and reactive natural phosphate (FNR) cakes were obtained and characterized. 48 formulations were produced, derived from a mixture of cakes, SS and FNR, in addition to isolated forms, with a nitrogen:phosphorus (N:P) ratio of 1:1 to 1:4, totaling 61 treatments. In a randomized block design, they were incubated in two soils with contrasting textures, and samples were collected at 15, 45, 75 and 105 days to determine the phosphorus content with a sodium bicarbonate solution (pH 8.5). Equations were adjusted for each formulation evaluated, and groupings were carried out to select promising mixtures.
 
Results and conclusion: Although the cakes did not contain significant amounts, mainly of phosphorus and potassium, no toxic elements were observed, a pattern different from that observed for FNR, which contains considerable levels of cadmium. The N:P ratio 1:4 proved to be superior, providing a higher P content in the soil. Increases in P were observed in quantity and linearly throughout the evaluated period depending on the proposed mixtures in comparison to the control treatment and the application of isolated sources.
 
Research implications: The association of nutrients from organic and mineral sources has shown promise in supplying the nutrient phosphorus, minimizing the effects of weathered soils on nutrient management.
 
Originality/value: The study is relevant as it seeks solutions to the problem of nutritional management of tropical soils, aggravated by the high external dependence on nutrients.

Organophosphorus poisoning (OPP) is a significant public health concern in various regions, with its prevalence and outcomes influenced by diverse sociodemographic factors. This systematic review aimed to collate and analyze data from multiple studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of the prevalence, risk factors, and management outcomes of OPP in emergency departments. A systematic search was conducted in October 2023, adhering to the PRISMA guidelines, primarily using PubMed. Studies were selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, with a focus on those that investigated OPP prevalence and management outcomes in emergency departments. Out of 87 initial studies, 9 met the inclusion criteria, encompassing a total of 1,469 participants from countries like Nepal, India, Korea, China, and Turkey. The studies predominantly included the younger to middle-aged demographic, with a significant male representation indicating that young males. Key findings highlighted the role of pesticides, especially organophosphorus compounds, in intentional poisonings, which can be seen more in young and unmarried females. Additionally, the therapeutic efficacy of treatments like plasma exchange has proven to be another promising tool for management. Finally, the importance of specific prognostic indicators such as D-CRP and the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, when combined with lactate levels (SOFA-Lac), are superior predictors of mortality in patients with acute organophosphate pesticide poisoning. The insights from this review emphasize the need for targeted interventions, both therapeutic and preventive, to address the challenges posed by OPP, especially in high-risk populations.
Spontaneous bladder rupture: a case report of a rare complication of normal vaginal delivery
Authors: Khoja Nisreen , Aljuhani Tahani , Alharthi Nada , Alrehaili Renad
Published: January 2024

Background:
Spontaneous bladder rupture (SBR) is defined as the presence of rupture without any antecedent trauma. It is usually due to underlying bladder pathology. Bladder rupture during labor or the postpartum period is extremely rare.
Case Presentation:
A 29-year-old gravida 2 Para 1 + 0 had an uneventful labor and a vacuum was used to assist the delivery. Seven days later, she was presented to the emergency department (ED) complaining of inability to urinate and abdominal pain. An immediate ultrasound scan (US) showed free fluid in the abdomen and pelvis. Due to her unstable condition, she was admitted to the ICU. The diagnosis of bladder rupture was made based on a CT cystogram showing contrast leaking from the posterior surface of the dome of the bladder. The patient was successfully managed conservatively by indwelling Foley's catheter and peritoneal drainage.
Conclusion:
Post-partum females with an acute abdomen associated with anuria, high blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and elevated serum creatinine should be investigated and treated emergently as SBR. Conservative management might be a successful option under the right conditions for the treatment of intra-peritoneal bladder rupture.

Authors: Balushi Fatma , Al-Hinshi Said , Tandon Anita , Kazzi Ziad , Alhatali Badria , Balushi Fatma
Published: January 2024

Background:
Flecainide is an anti-arrhythmic medication with a narrow therapeutic index and a high mortality rate, when overdosed. Few cases of flecainide toxicity in neonates and children due to medication error have been reported in the literature. A case of an accidental flecainide overdose in a neonate in Oman was presented.
Case Presentation:
A 19-day-old newborn girl developed persistent supra ventricular tachycardia (SVT) after receiving nebulized albuterol for acute bronchitis. After unsuccessful treatment with adenosine, she was given flecainide 5.6 mg orally every 24 hours for resolution of the SVT. On day four of admission, the child inadvertently received 100 mg of flecainide orally due to a dose calculation error. The child developed wide complex tachyarrhythmia followed by pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Sodium bicarbonate IV bolus followed by an infusion was administered. The patient developed two additional episodes of pulseless VT that coincided temporally with two interruptions of the sodium bicarbonate infusion, and required high dose of inotropic support. The patient developed convulsions but her brain ultrasound was normal. Her condition stabilized on day three after the toxicity occurred. Repeated echo showed a normal EF. The patient was discharged on propranolol and levetiracetam and was doing well on outpatient follow up.
Conclusion:
Flecainide is a potentially lethal medication in overdose due to its sodium channel blocking properties. Sodium bicarbonate remains an essential component of treatment.

The existence of ethics can help us in making decisions about what actions and ways we can behave and what cannot be done, ethics can function in all aspects of life. In the world of work it is necessary to maintain professional relationships with business partners, ethics in the business world is very important, with ethics business partners will feel comfortable and confident with us. Relationships that are built between companies and business partners generally occur over a long period of time. So table manners (eating etiquette), appearance, and topics of conversation need to be prepared before meeting clients. In the world of work, you are usually familiar with invitations to eat with clients. Knowledge of table manners or usually called eating ethics is needed by everyone, because everyone's table rules are different. This happens because of differences in customs and culture of each person. The eating etiquette that is usually used at formal meals or attending dinner invitations is an etiquette that has developed in European countries for a long time.

Dengan adanya etika dapat membantu kita dalam mengambil penyelesaian tentang tindakan dan cara kita bersikap apa yang boleh dan yang tidak boleh dilakukan, etika dapat berfungsi dalam semua aspek dalam kehidupan. Dalam dunia kerja perlu menjaga hubungan yang profesional dengan rekan bisnis, etika dalam dunia bisnis sangatlah penting, dengan adanya etika rekan bisnis akan merasa nyaman dan yakin sama kita. Relasi yang dibangun antara perusahaan dan rekan bisnis pada umumnya terjadi dalam jangka waktu yang panjang. Maka table manner (etika makan), penampilan, dan topik pembicaraan perlu dipersiapkan sebelum bertemu klien, di dunia kerja biasanya sudah tidak asing lagi dengan undangan makan dengan klien. Pengetahuan mengenai Table manners atau biasanya sering disebut etika makan sangat diperlukan oleh setiap orang, karena peraturan di meja makan setiap orang berbeda. Hal ini terjadi karena adanya perbedaan adat dan kebudayaan dari setiap orang. Etika makan yang biasanya digunakan dalam acara makan formal maupun menghadiri undangan makan adalah etika yang sudah berkembang di Negara Eropa sejak lama.
Sinusoidally Pitching Foils in Transonic Flow: Insights into Flutter from Time Accurate Simulations

Published: January 2024

The impact of shock formation and vortex dynamics on airfoil flutter in the transonic regime is investigated through a series of two-dimensional time-accurate simulations of a sinusoidally pitching airfoil at a Reynolds number of 10,000. To gain insight into transonic flutter in the fully nonlinear regime, an energy-based approach that employs prescribed kinematics is utilized. Flutter stability boundaries are identified as a function of the Mach number and the reduced velocity, the latter of which is a surrogate for structural stiffness or flight speed. The results show a subcritical instability near Mach numbers of [Formula: see text] for a range of oscillation frequencies. Additionally, three shock-induced mechanisms are identified that influence the transfer of energy from the flow to the airfoil. The primary mechanism is flow separation triggered by the generation of a lambda shock. The influence of the lambda-shock dynamics on airfoil flow separation is determined for different Mach numbers, providing insight into the well-known “transonic dip” observed in flutter boundaries.
Transonic Aerodynamic–Structural Coupling Characteristics Predicted by Nonlinear Data-Driven Modeling Approach

Published: January 2024

Accurate prediction of nonlinear aerodynamics is essential for the transonic aeroelastic analysis of flight vehicles. Though reduced-order aerodynamic models are cheap and reasonable tools, it is still a tough problem to accurately evaluate the unsteady pressure distributions on the surface of an elastic structure. This paper presents a nonlinear data-driven modeling approach based on the high-fidelity simulations in the following three steps. The first step is to compute the dominant modes of unsteady pressure distributions through the proper orthogonal decomposition. The pressure snapshots used for the feature extraction are sampled under a multilevel sine-sweep excitation. The second step is to obtain the low-dimensional temporal dynamics of the coefficients of these modes via polynomial nonlinear state-space identification. The linear estimation implemented by employing the dynamic mode decomposition with control algorithm serves as the initialization of the nonlinear optimization. The third step is to reconstruct the unsteady pressure distributions under arbitrary structural excitation from the temporal coefficients. The paper validates the approach via two numerical examples of the transonic aerodynamic–structural coupling problem. One is an NACA0012 airfoil, and the other is an AGARD 445.6 wing. The examples show that the proposed approach exhibits both accurate and robust performance in the prediction of unsteady pressure distributions, aerodynamic forces, and aeroelastic responses. In particular, the approach well predicts the physical features at the fluid–structure coupling interface, previously neglected in the system identification of aerodynamic systems. Therefore, the approach serves as a promising tool for data-driven aeroelastic analysis.
