The effects of different vortex breakdown states on the evaporation process characterizing
air-acetone vapor swirling jets laden with liquid acetone droplets in the dilute regime are …

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 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 …

The design of gas turbine combustors is an iterative process which is often limited by the
available modelling tools. While high degrees of modelling accuracy have been achieved …

Lean premixed combustion technology became state of the art in recent heavy-duty gas
turbines and aeroengines. In combustion chambers operating under fuel-lean conditions …

This paper focuses on the application of an extension for Zimont's Turbulent Flame Closure
(TFC) model turbulent flame speed formulation to include stretch and heat loss and gain …

Flamesheet is a novel head-end combustor component design that can accommodate up to
40% H2 in volume fraction while maintaining a low NOx emission at 9 ppm. It is compatible …

In modern gas turbines for power generation and future aircraft engines, the necessity to
reduce NOx emissions led to the implementation of a premixed combustion technology …

The efficiency and cleanliness of a diesel engine is greatly improved by homogenizing the
charge within the cylinder before compression combustion occurs. Homogenizing results in …
