Renewable hydrogen is a potential option to decarbonize heavy-duty transport, such as …

The stochastic variation of inlet flow is one common uncertainty in turbomachines, the
performance impact of which requires to be quantified and taken into account in the design …

Almost half of all flight accidents caused by inflight icing occur at the approach and landing
phases when high-lift devices are deployed. The present study focuses on the optimization …

A Wells turbine, when coupled with an oscillating water column, allows the generation of
power from the energy in waves on the surface of the ocean. In the present work, a tabu …

With the continuous expansion of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications, the threat of
icing on UAV flights has garnered increased attention. Understanding the icing principles …

Natural ice accretion on the lifting surface of an aircraft is detrimental to its aerodynamic
performance, as it changes the effective streamlined body. The main focus of this work …

The design optimization taking into account the impact of uncertainties favors improving the
robustness of the design. A Surrogate-Assisted Gradient-Based (SAGB) method for the …

Manufacturing variations are becoming an unavoidable issue in modern fabrication
processes; therefore, it is crucial to be able to include stochastic uncertainties in the design …

Regions with abundantly available renewable energy are not necessarily the same as those
with a high population density and energy consumption. Therefore, renewable energy can …

A COMMON simplification in the design process for any engineering system is to assume
nominal values for a number of design parameters (ranging from operating conditions to …
