Geng, Xin (author), Hu, Tianxiang (author), Liu, Peiqing (author), Sinnige, T. (author), Eitelberg, G. (author)The increasing demand for short-range passenger air transport and the strong push for aircraft with electric propulsion has renewed research interest in propellers. Despite the unmatched aerodynamic efficiency of propellers, their relatively high noise emissions limit widespread application on aircraft. Previous research has not systematically...conference paper 2021

(author), Galiti, Anna-Danai (author), Hu, Michel (author), Frimat, Jean-Philippe (author), van den Maagdenberg, Arn (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Mastrangeli, Massimo (author), Sarro, Pasqualina M (author)Continuous monitoring of tissue microphysiology is a key enabling feature of the organ-on-chip (OoC) approach for drug screening and disease modeling. Sensing charged species in OoC tissue microenvironments is thereby essential. However, the inherently small (i.e., cm) size of OoC devices poses the challenging requirement to integrate...conference paper 2021

Hu, Liang (author), Tang, Y. (author), Zhou, Z. (author), Pan, W. (author)This paper presents a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm for orientation estimation using inertial sensors combined with a magnetometer. Lyapunov’s method in control theory is employed to prove the convergence of orientation estimation errors. The estimator gains and a Lyapunov function are parametrised by deep neural networks and...conference paper 2021

Hu, W. (author), Hickel, S. (author), van Oudheusden, B.W. (author)The unsteadiness of shock wave-boundary layer interactions is investigated in a transitional backward-facing step flow at Ma=1:7 and Red0 =13718 using large eddy simulation. The mean and instantaneous flow shows that the laminar inflow undergoes a laminar-to-turbulence transition in which Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices form, distort and eventually...conference paper 2019

Gao, Z. (author), Hu, Yizhe (author), Siriburanon, Teerachot (author), Staszewski, R.B. (author)This paper proposes a mm-wave quadrature frequency generator using injection-locked harmonic extractors (HEs) incorporated with quadrature class-F oscillators. While maintaining high output levels at 28 GHz, the utilization of injection locking technique improves the effective quality ($Q$)-factor and helps to achieve a fundamental harmonic...conference paper 2019

Hu, W. (author), Hickel, S. (author), van Oudheusden, B.W. (author)The path of laminar-to-turbulent transition behind a backward-facing step (BFS) in the supersonic regime at Ma = 1.7 and Re<sub>δ</sub><sub>0</sub> = 13718 is investigated using a very well-resolved large eddy simulation (LES). Five distinct stages are identified in the transition process by the visualisation of instantaneous flow. The...conference paper 2019
