Experimental investigation of expansive bending pipe flow separation control using a surface dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator.

Adverse pressure gradients can cause severe flow separation within typical S-shaped inlets. This results in a total pressure distortion at the aerodynamic interface plane (AIP). The expansive bending pipe, where flow separation also occurs due to the adverse pressure gradient, is the basis for investigations into S-shaped inlets.

Case Report: A rare case of non-small cell lung cancer with STRN-ALK fusion in a patient in very poor condition treated with first-line ensartinib.
