Item Optimization and sustainability of conventional propulsion units in the context of current environmental trends(University of Žilina, 2023) Novák, Miroslav; Rostáš, JánThis article focuses on the current situation in the aviation industry in relation to environmental trends. In the introductory part, the situation on the aviation fuel market, their production and their current price is presented, while the emphasis is on familiarization with a more ecological form of traditional fossil fuels, namely sustainable aviation fuel. The reader is informed about the current situation in connection with emissions and greenhouse gases produced by air transport and the effort to reduce them and in the future their complete elimination. The second part presents the approach of aviation authorities such as EASA, FAA and ICAO, as well as their goals for reducing emissions and greenhouse gases and current projects for sustainable aviation. The article focuses on the implementation of sustainable aviation fuel in aviation and the issues associated with its use. The third part deals with the latest projects of aircraft and power units manufacturers. Other strategies such as CORSIA and ETS are presented, as well as climate conferences dealing with this issue. We point out the different approaches of countries in connection with the issue of reducing emissions. In the conclusion, we will evaluate the current situation with the economy and ecology in aviation from a global point of view, the actions of the authorities, manufacturers and point out the shortcomings.Item Simulations of aerodynamics(University of Zilina, 2021) Novák, Miroslav; Bugaj, MartinThe aim of the paper is to approach the issue of simulations in aerodynamics. To describe the physical rules and basic mathematical equations, which are essential in the use of computing techniques. The paper deals with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and informations which are necessary for its understanding, the author further describes different software programs used for simulation purposes. By means of analyzing technical papers, the author compares and describes software considering to their practical use. The author also describes the aerodynamic tunnels and clarifies the basic issues related to aerodynamic tunnels and discuss factors that affect the resulting measurement quality. The author deals with methods of measuring individual physical quantities that are the interest of simulation or measurement. At the end of the paper, the author compares the specific aerodynamic tunnels and the possibilities of measurements that aerodynamics tunnels provide.
