Welcome to the final blog post from Hyperstream Solutions. This past week we had a great time presenting our work during both the public and private showcases at the Final Design Review. It was a rewarding experience to share our… Read More

As we approach the end of the semester, our team is preparing for our Final Design Review. This event marks a major milestone in our project, giving us the opportunity to showcase everything we’ve worked so hard on. We’ve created… Read More

This past week, our team has been hard at work finalizing our uncertainty analysis and running the last rounds of Ansys simulations. With those nearing completion, we’re shifting gears to focus on how we’ll present our project to the public… Read More

This past week was an exciting one for our team, filled with high-tech imaging, creative demonstrations, and valuable feedback. Our first order of business was to capture a higher-quality shadowgraph image to better visualize the flow behavior in our prototype.… Read More

This week marked a major leap in our project as we completed the analysis of all top plate test data and finalized CFD simulations for every forward-tested angle, achieving a significant milestone in validating our aerodynamic models. We meticulously calculated… Read More

This week, testing continued at full speed ahead! Now that manufacturing has been completed, the manufacturing subteam was hard at work testing our top plates. Two weeks ago, a preliminary test was conducted on the 45-degree orifice top plate to… Read More

This week, we completed the manufacturing of two additional top plates and confirmed the fit in the wind tunnel test section! The first of these plates contained orifices angled at 60-degrees, while the second contained orifices angled at 30-degrees. With… Read More

This week, we conducted our first test in Dr. Ukeiley’s wind tunnel lab. After verifying the fit of our components and making necessary adjustments, we installed our first top plate in the test section and mounted our manifold above it.… Read More

This week marks a major milestone in our project as we transition from manufacturing to testing! After weeks of hard work, we’ve finalized our fittings and successfully secured our first top plate onto the wind tunnel test section. With the… Read More

This week, HyperStream made major progress with both sub-teams collaborating to advance our project! First up, the CFD sub-team came together for an exciting workshop where we brought our projected design to life! Each member meticulously modeled an isolator with… Read More

The CNC machining of the top plate is officially done! Next up, we’ve locked in six hours of machining on Tuesday to complete the manifold. The final step? Drilling the angled holes in the top plate using an angled vise… Read More

This week, our team made exciting strides! We successfully shaped our first workpiece to size with precise facing passes on a milling machine, marking a significant step toward achieving our design goals. Simultaneously, we’re putting the finishing touches on programming… Read More

Following our team’s split last week into two sub teams – the CFD and manufacturing sub teams – both groups hit the ground running to start the semester off strong! The teams have continued to meet separately in order to… Read More

This week, the team returned from the winter break, recharged and ready to continue making progress! For the spring semester, the team split into two sub-teams – one focused on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and another focused on manufacturing and… Read More
