Aeroacoustic modeling of a LOX/CH4 rocket engine for high-frequency combustion instability prediction analyses

High-frequency combustion instabilities represent the main technical risk faced by design engineers when developing new chemical rocket propulsion systems. Such instabilities are driven by the coupling between the flames’ heat release rate and the combustion chamber’s acoustic field. As such, they can only be assessed during detailed design...

A feasibility study into the application of low-fidelity models for the prediction of the shell modes of a wind turbine tower with a slip joint

The slip joint connection is a relatively new alternative method for connecting offshore wind turbine towers to prior installed monopiles. It consists of two overlapping conical sections that together form a connection. There are several challenges left to be solved before the slip joint can be applied on a commercial scale. One of those...

A systems approach for monitoring anesthesia

General anesthesia (GA) is an important medical procedure that induces unconsciousness to patients during surgery. Consciousness is a salient feature of the brain, whose neurophysiological features are difficult to be distinguished from unconsciousness. Though it can be defined as an event arising due to interactions in the nervous system, it...

Model-based Filtering of Resting-State Blood-Oxygen-Level-Dependent Signal

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is one of the promising non-invasive technology that helps in the detection of neurodegenerative and neurological disorders, localisation of the different areas of the brain and understanding the connectivity between them. It involves the acquisition of time series of MR images while...
