Short and uniformly dispersed flames in multi-nozzle array combustors allow for shorter flue
gas residence time, resulting in less NOx emissions at high combustor outlet temperature. A …

This study deals with sliding-mode nonlinear observers for a flux-controlled active magnetic
bearing (AMB) operated with zero-bias flux. The Lyapunov sliding-mode observer (LSMO) …

Lean burn combustion is increasing its popularity in the aeronautical framework due to its
potential in reducing drastically pollutant emissions (NOx and soot in particular). Its …

The numerical simulation of the combustion process is a common practice during the
combustor design. The accurate simulation of lean flames is a problem of great technical …

Gas turbines for power generation are optimised to run with fossil fuels but as a response to
tighter pollutant regulations and to enable the use of renewable fuels there is a great interest …

The reliable prediction of the turbulent combustion processes in lean flames is nowadays of
crucial importance in the design of gas turbine combustors. This work presents an …

The control of joint stiffness is a fundamental mechanism used to control human movements.
While many studies have observed how stiffness is modulated for tasks involving shoulder …

In most modern-day lean gas turbine combustors, flame is stabilized by swirl flows. A central
toroidal recirculation zone (CTRZ), developed by these swirl flows, helps to stabilize the …

A numerical investigation of pollutant emissions of a novel dry low-emissions burner for
heavy-duty gas turbine applications is presented. The objective of this work is to develop …

The prediction of thermo-acoustic instabilities is of paramount importance for gas-turbine
combustion systems to meet the emission and efficiency targets. To predict the frequencies …
