Article discusses how, after one year of operation, the Ingenuity rotorcraft and the Perseverance rover continue their exploration missions on Mars. Succeeding the technology demonstration phase, by proving its flight capabilities, Ingenuity transitioned to a new mission stage to explore modes of flight exploration for future scouting missions. The author's research intends to analyze, using numerical simulations, the aerodynamic conditions such as those experienced by Ingenuity during its flight missions.

Article all-aluminum microchannel heat exchangers have recently gained popularity in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning industry. Despite their attractive thermal performance design, these heat exchangers make coils used in automotive, commercial, and residential applications prone to crevice corrosion. This study uses high-fidelity conjugate heat transfer simulations to model a micro channel heat exchanger system that includes fins and tubes with crossflow to compare their thermal effectiveness to gain insight into potential crevice corrosion of the MCHE alloy.

Article describes how biomedical devices such as pumping/mixing fluids, cell-culturing, and drug delivery often use different actuation methods. In regard to magnetic actuation, membranes with a local distribution of magnetic particles are investigated and compared to membranes with randomly distributed magnetic particles, which in turn may enhance the actuation performance for certain applications.

Article describes hybrid additive manufacturing processes involve the use of different manufacturing techniques to fabricate net shape or near-net shape parts, with enhanced capabilities of heat dissipation, such as those needed in conformal molding, or requiring internal cooling systems, such as, for example, those seen in turbine blades, and for developing other components demanding free form fabrication methods. The combination of these AM processes with material removal processes, such as machining, is the core of the hybrid additive manufacturing concept, together with the full coupling of these processes in an integrated fashion.
