Ma, L. (author), Huang, X. (author), Roekaerts, D.J.E.M. (author)We report results of a computational study of oxy-fuel spray jet flames. An experimental database on flames of ethanol burning in a coflow of a O2–CO2 mixture, created at CORIA (Rouen, France), is used for model validation (Cléon et al., 2015). Depending on the coflow composition and velocity the flames in these experiments start at nozzle (type...journal article 2017

Wang, K. (author), Li, Jiayuan (author), Yan, Xinping (author), Huang, Lianzhong (author), Jiang, X. (author), Yuan, Yupeng (author), Ma, Ranqi (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)The optimization of ship energy consumption is attracting a great deal of attention, as societies seek to save energy and reduce emissions. Shipping companies are more concerned with the energy consumption of a ship fleet, as opposed to that of a single ship. Because the energy consumption of a fleet is influenced by multiple factors...journal article 2020

(author), Sun, Peiting (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Yan, Xinping (author)It is of significant importance to optimize the energy consumption of ships in order to improve economy and reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. However, the energy use of ships is affected by a series of navigational environmental parameters, which have certain spatial and temporal differences and variability. Therefore, the dynamic...journal article 2021

Huang, N. (author), Ma, Yutao (author)We use tridiagonal models to study the limiting behavior of β-Laguerre and β-Jacobi ensembles, focusing on the limiting behavior of the extremal eigenvalues and the central limit theorem for the two ensembles. For the central limit theorem of β-Laguerre ensembles, we follow the idea in [1] while giving a modified version for the generalized...journal article 2022
