Characteristics of linear alternator performance under thermoacoustic-power-conversion conditions by Ibrahim, Ahmed

“…The results of the parametric study in the linear load case are compared to results of the analytical model and DELTAEC simulations and good agreement was found. The third part of this work is a sensitivity analysis that utilizes design-of-experiment methodology to estimate how the factors and their combined interactions affect the performance indices of the linear alternator under linear loading. …”

The effect of wing flexibility on ride comfort in formation flight by Biden, Kirsty Joy

“…The trailing wake vortices shed by the lead aircraft in formation flight were considered to have a solid core using the Burnham-Hallock Model. The optimal positioning of the trailing aircraft in a two-aircraft formation was discussed and all subsequent simulations run with the trailing vortex core initially located at the wing tip and 0.1 of a wingspan above the wing. …”
