Rotor Interaction Noise in Counter-Rotating Propfan Propulsion Systems by Peters, Andreas, Spakovszky, Zoltan S

“…Based on this investigation, the CRP was redesigned for reduced noise incorporating a clipped rear-rotor and increased rotor-rotor spacing to reduce upstream influence, tip-vortex, and wake interaction effects. Maintaining the thrust and propulsive efficiency at takeoff conditions, the noise was calculated for both designs. …”

Robust intelligent active force control of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robot by Tang, H. H., Mailah, Musa, A. Jalil, M. Kasim

“…The paper describes a new and novel approach to control a nonholonomic wheeled mobile robot (WMR) robustly with reference to its trajectory tracking capability in the wake of introduced disturbances. The workspace of a mobile robot is not always ideal but more often than not, filled with disturbances (known or unknown) such as inherent friction, irregular surface terrain, uncertainties, and parametric changes. …”

Single and multi-row turbine performance in bounded shear flow by Juniper, M, Nishino, T

“…Predicting the performance of large turbine arrays requires the understanding of many physical factors, such as array geometry, turbine operation, inflow conditions and turbulent wake mixing. Due to the large parameter space that an array may be optimised over, low-order models with low computational cost are often employed. …”
