Observer-based Control of Inflatable Robot with Variable Stiffness
(IEEE, 2020)In the last decade, soft robots have been at the forefront of a robotic revolution. Due to the flexibility of the soft materials employed, soft robots are equipped with a capability to execute new tasks in new application ... -
On latency of multiple zonal jets in the oceans
(2011-11) -
On the analysis of the contact angle for impacting droplets using a polynomial fitting approach
(Springer (part of Springer Nature), 2020)ractical considerations on the measurement of the dynamic contact angle and the spreading diameter of impacting droplets are discussed in this paper. The contact angle of a liquid is commonly obtained either by a polynomial ... -
On the decay of entropic-compositional sources of indirect noise in combustors
(Institute of Noise Control Engineering, 2023-02-01)Combustion noise is a well-known, potentially harmful occurrence in real combustors. For years, indirect combustion noise was addressed as the entropy noise, which was made by an irreversibly thermal fluctuation. After ... -
On the dissipation and dispersion of entropy waves in heat transferring channel flows
(AIP Publishing., 2017-08)This paper investigates the hydrodynamic and heat transfer effects on the dissipation and dispersion of entropy waves in non-reactive flows. These waves, as advected density inhomogeneities downstream of unsteady flames, ... -
On the early and developed stages of surface condensation: competition mechanism between interfacial and condensate bulk thermal resistances
(Nature Publishing Group: Open Access Journals - Option C, 2016-10-10)We use molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the early and developed stages of surface condensation. We find that the liquid-vapor and solid-liquid interfacial thermal resistances depend on the properties of solid ... -
On the effects of adding syngas to an ammonia-MILD combustion regime—A computational study of the reaction zone structure
(Elsevier, 2023-04-18)This study examines the reaction zone structure of syngas/NH3/CH4 blends in moderate or intense low oxygen dilution (MILD) conditions to determine the effects of variations in NH3 and syngas mole fractions upon the stability ... -
On the effects of surface waviness upon catalytic steam reforming of methane in micro-structured reactors - a computational study
(2023-01-01)The effects of wavy channels upon steam methane reforming in catalytic micro-structured reactors, using Nickle as the catalyst, are investigated numerically. Laminar, three-dimensional models of reacting flows, with ... -
On the limitations of some popular numerical models of flagellated microswimmers: importance of long-range forces and flagellum waveform.
(The Royal Society, 2019-01)For a sperm-cell-like flagellated swimmer in an unbounded domain, several numerical models of different fidelity are considered based on the Stokes flow approximation. The models include a regularized Stokeslet method and ... -
On the microstructure evolution and strengthening mechanism of GH4099 Ni-based superalloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion
(Elsevier BV, 2024-07-02)Establishing the connection between multi-scale heterostructures and mechanical performance is a hot topic in laser additive manufacturing (LAM) research. The role of cellular structures is commonly simplified or neglected ... -
On the origin of grain size effects in Ba(Ti<inf>0.96</inf>Sn<inf>0.04</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> perovskite ceramics
(Elsevier, 2019)Over the last 50 years, the study of grain size effects in ferroelectric ceramics has attracted great research interest. Although different theoretical models have been proposed to account for the variation in structure ...
