Thank you for your reply.
I am more interested in using the high voltage technique. What kind of ionisation rates can be achieved with the applied voltages. Do these ionised states last. I would imagine that the airs' contact with the surrounding vessel causes the ions to discharge.
Can anyone advise on methods, techniques or tricks in "how to ionise air"? Books, articles or direct advice would be appreciated. I have posted this thread here as you guys seem to have a handle on gases and ionization.
Thanks

Most of my work was experimental in nature, peppered with some localised analysis. The regular equations in fluids text books sufficed; flow in pipes, through orifices, pumps, vanes, and other turbo machinery. I later came across simulatiuon packages that had the whole system input so that...
Greg,
The underbody tunnels have large vortices feeding the flow under the car. Those vanes you seem to enhance this effect and are developed experimentally.
I haven't seen any flow visualisations nor lift coefficient results with or without these vanes. Can't help any more than that.

Hello,
As Greg mentioned, linear solvers are inadequate in your situation. Have a look at Strand7 software (I think it is strand7@gd.com.au). This has some examples and I know it does non linear transient solutions.
Solvers can give deflection results quite accurately, depending on the model...
I will ask around for you. BMW once tried a plastic valve body in the 850 I believe. It failed dismally due to creep etc in the elevated temperatures. Maybe you can find papers on it somewhere. If I come up with anything I'll let you know. All that I have worked on have been Al.

There is no direct role description as such. The power train is Antriebsstrang or Triebsatz. You would say;ich bin (I am) Ingenieur auf dem Gebiet der Aggregateentwicklung. (engineer for development of powertrain). Translation from a mate who is a powertrain engineer in Germany. I noticed that...
Temperature increases in the converter are great. This would lead to large oil volume requirements and cooling requirements. An overdrive would also be missed. Not impossible. I guess the control system would be simpler.
You might like to look at PEEK or PPS (to a lesser extent). Again, like the others, I don't have direct experience with these materials in this environment, but I would say that temperature will be a problem. I have designed a couple of auto trans servos in my time and the pressures and cyclic...
